Our two children, aged 6 and 3, are at the center of our lives, and we are looking for someone who can help maintain a calm and organized environment amidst our busy schedules. Both parents have high-pressure roles, with one parent who works from home 3 days a week, and with such demanding professional lives, we need someone who can manage the day-to-day tasks that keep our home running smoothly, ensuring it remains clean, organized, and a comfortable place to live and work. Our goal is simple: we want to offload household responsibilities so we can focus on quality time with our children and our careers. We need someone who can handle routine house management tasks, including cleaning, meal prep, and errands, and support during peak times like birthdays and holidays. We value efficiency, reliability, and above all, effort, and we are looking for someone who shares these values. You’ll be key in supporting us, helping to create an organized space that nurtures both productivity and family time. We’re looking for someone who understands our standards and takes pride in maintaining our home to meet those expectations. Who You Are / What We’re Looking For We need someone who is highly organized, proactive, and capable of executing tasks independently with minimal direction. A professional approach is key. We are looking for someone who will seamlessly integrate into our home while maintaining clear boundaries and a respectful, professional relationship. The ideal candidate will possess a project manager mindset, be able to plan and execute tasks with precision while maintaining a calm and friendly demeanor. You should be capable of taking ownership of your responsibilities, verifying expectations when necessary, and always moving forward with initiative. We value someone who can balance consistency and strong communication, managing daily, weekly, and monthly tasks without reminders. Comfort with kids is important, as part of your role will involve light/backup childcare support. We have existing childcare support through a strong network of babysitters and the kids' grandparents, so this will not be your primary responsibility.
