About Our Family:

We are a vibrant and active family of four living in Studio City, with both parents working full-time outside of the home. We have two young boys, ages 5 and 9, who are curious, independent and lively, enjoying sports, games, and reading. They have their own unique personalities that make every day fun and engaging. We've lived in LA for many years and while we love the city, we are always looking for opportunities to travel and explore new places together. We also lived abroad for several years, and travel remains a central part of our lives, giving us the chance to broaden our horizons as a family.

As our family's needs evolve and our boys are becoming more involved in extra-curricular activities, we are looking for someone to step in and help manage the household in a more comprehensive way. With both parents juggling demanding careers and busy schedules, we strive to make the most of our time together. We are seeking someone who can help us do just that, by providing support in managing the home, and day-to-day tasks.

As a family, we value open communication, professionalism, and trust. We believe in creating a positive and energetic environment in the household, and we're excited to find someone who shares our enthusiasm.

Who You Are:

We are looking for someone who is professional, dependable, and takes the job seriously. You should be an active, positive, and enthusiastic person who enjoys engaging with our boys and supporting a healthy lifestyle. We need someone who communicates well, has excellent judgment, and can anticipate needs without constant direction. A long-term commitment is important to us, as we'd love to find someone who can grow with our family. You should be reliable, trustworthy, and capable of managing a variety of tasks in a dynamic household. We are looking for someone who can complement our dynamics, and who understands the importance of maintaining a balance between professional obligations and family time.
