With two busy corporate careers and frequent work travel, life can move quickly, and we're looking for someone special who can help bring a little more ease and organization to our everyday routine.While we need an extra set of hands with the practical side of keeping a home running — laundry, errands, light tidying and organization, meal support, school pick-ups and dog care — finding the right person is about much more than completing a list of tasks.We'd love someone who genuinely enjoys being around children and will take the time to build a relationship with our son. Being a dog lover is equally important — our dog is part of the family, and we want someone who is happy to have their care and companionship woven into the day.Above all, we're looking for someone we can truly trust and rely on. Someone warm, observant, professional, and proactive who will get to know the rhythm of our household, anticipate what needs attention, and become a consistent presence in our lives.Who You Are / What We're Looking ForYou're experienced, dependable, and naturally caring, with the ability to balance professionalism with genuine warmth. You're organized and proactive, but you also understand that working in a family home is personal — relationships, trust, and good communication matter just as much as efficiency.You're comfortable taking ownership of household needs, coordinating with our biweekly cleaning team, and shifting priorities when life gets busy. You enjoy engaging with children, love dogs, and are happy to jump in wherever you can make the family's day a little easier.We're hoping to find someone who is looking for more than their next job. We want a trusted, long-term partner who can grow with our family, learn how our home works, and become an important part of keeping our household happy, organized, and running smoothly.Key ResponsibilitiesFamily SupportSchool pickup 2–3 times per weekManage the after-school routine: backpack unloading, snack prep, homework support, and afternoon wind-downPrepare school lunchesOccasional date night and weekend evening childcare coverage as neededLight supervision and backup childcare as neededHousehold Organization & MaintenanceCreate and maintain household organization systems throughout the homeDaily resets: tidying high-traffic surfaces, dishes, sweeping, and general upkeepPrepare the home ahead of bi-weekly cleaning team visits and oversee quality of their workDeclutter and refresh entry areas, drop zones, and tabletop spaces on an ongoing basisCoordinate and drop off donationsHandle general maintenance tasks: replacing batteries, light bulbs, smoke detector checks, and similar upkeep itemsSupport household prep and organization during an anticipated local moveDeep Cleaning & Special ProjectsOccasional deep cleaning of specific items and areas (refrigerator, oven, baseboards)Tackle larger organizational projects as they arise: closets, pantry, toy storage, seasonal gearRefresh and organize high-use areas such as entryways and utility zonesInventory & ErrandsManage and restock household supply inventory (pantry, fridge, and household essentials)Handle mail, packages, and box breakdownOccasional ah hoc errandsMeal SupportPrep-style kitchen support 2–3 times per week: washing produce, chopping vegetables, marinating proteins — not full meal cooking or batch cookingPrep school lunches following all dietary restrictions/allergiesKitchen cleanup after prep sessionsLaundry & LinensWash, fold, organize, and put away clothing for the full householdIron, steam, and hang uniforms and special garmentsMaintain a tidy and well-stocked laundry areaPet CareFeed, walk, and engage with the family dog during the daySchedule grooming appointmentsReceive and store bi-monthly frozen food deliveries in the freezerAdminister monthly heart-worm preventionVehicle UpkeepSchedule maintenance, fueling, and cleaning for family vehiclesKeep vehicles organized and road-readyMileage reimbursement provided for work-related drivingVendor & Property OversightOversee and quality-check the bi-weekly cleaning teamManage pest control scheduling (indoor and outdoor)Research and coordinate yard maintenance vendorObtain quotes and coordinate repairs as neededAdministrative & Personal Assistant SupportMaintain awareness of the family calendar and flag important dates proactively (especially school closures and schedule changes)Coordinate occasional kid-related appointmentsHow to ApplyTo apply, please submit a short intro letter, an updated resume, and 3 professional references with current contact information.
