About Our Family

We are a down-to-earth, vibrant, and energetic family living in a welcoming home surrounded by nature. Our household is full of life — three young children (with a fourth on the way), a beloved Mini Australian Shepherd, and a team of dedicated household staff who each play an important role in supporting our family. We value kindness, trust, initiative, and genuine partnership, and we believe the best households are built by great people working together toward a common goal.

Both parents run their own businesses, which means life moves quickly and there are always plenty of moving pieces to coordinate. We've intentionally built support in several areas, including a family chef, dedicated childcare providers, and weekly cleaners. What we're missing is someone who can serve as the connective tissue of the household — helping manage the daily details, keeping projects moving forward, coordinating with our existing team, and creating the systems and structure that allow everything to run more smoothly.

Our home is already a happy and energetic place, but like many families with young children, growing responsibilities, and busy careers, there are organizational projects that linger, laundry that never seems fully finished, spaces that could use more structure, and household logistics that require ongoing attention. With multiple properties to oversee and several upcoming projects on the horizon, we're seeking someone who can help bring organization, consistency, and proactive support to our household operations.

We are not micromanagers. We believe in hiring exceptional people and empowering them to take ownership of their role. We deeply appreciate professionals who can anticipate needs, think several steps ahead, and execute with confidence, care, and good judgment. Our goal is to find someone who can serve as a trusted partner in helping our household run smoothly—someone who enjoys bringing structure to busy environments, coordinating people and projects, and creating systems that make everyday life feel more manageable.

Who You Are / What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate is a proactive, highly organized professional who enjoys creating order, efficiency, and calm within a busy household. You are self-directed, resourceful, and comfortable taking ownership of responsibilities with minimal oversight. Rather than waiting for direction, you anticipate needs, think several steps ahead, and proactively solve problems.

You thrive in a dynamic environment, can comfortably manage multiple priorities at once, and enjoy coordinating household logistics, projects, vendors, and systems. Adaptable, trustworthy, and discreet, you communicate clearly, work well independently, and remain flexible as needs evolve.

Above all, you're someone who takes genuine pride in supporting others, values excellence in the details, and finds fulfillment in helping a busy family feel organized, supported, and able to focus on what matters most.
