Our home is lively and full of energy. We genuinely love our space and want it to feel calm and organized, even when life is full. We've come to realize we need help to get there.Both parents work from home, and while we value the flexibility this offers, it has become clear that with school and activity pick ups, dinner to prepare, and errands to run, our afternoons can quickly get overwhelming. We've reached a point where we need consistent, thoughtful support to help bring more ease and order to our days.Afternoon and early evening help is essential, but we'd also be open to a split schedule where someone helps out in the mornings and then comes back later in the day. We want things to feel organized and efficient around the house, for our kids to be entertained and engaged, and for us to get some intentionality back in our days. We value flexibility, creativity, and collaboration, so are looking forward to working together to figure out the best way to achieve these goals.Who You Are / What We're Looking ForYou're warm but professional, and naturally drawn to helping people. You love children and are very experienced in caring for them. You feel energized by completing an organizational project but are also comfortable stepping in to help with the small things that pile up for a family: running the kids somewhere, meal prep, laundry - whatever the day brings.You're the kind of person who starts the dishwasher before anyone mentions it, notices a household staple is running low and adds it to the list, and can pivot from snack prep to homework support without missing a beat. You're organized, proactive, and quietly capable. You take pride in your work, show up on time, and genuinely enjoy the rhythm of a busy household. You don't need a lot of direction, but you communicate well and always keep others in the loop.We're looking for someone who treats this like a real career, brings a steady and professional presence, and notices the little things. The right person will walk in, read the room, and feel comfortable tackling whatever needs to happen.Key ResponsibilitiesFamily Support & Child AssistanceAfternoon school and activity pickupsAfter-school supervision, structure, and engagement, including homework helpPrep backpacks, clothing, and afternoon snacksKid-related errandsOccasional overnight coverage when both parents travelMeal Planning & PrepPrepare healthy, kid-friendly snacks and dinners five days per weekGrocery shoppingKitchen clean-up and maintenanceHousehold Organization & MaintenanceDaily resets and prepping home for biweekly cleanersLight tidying including dishes, surfaces, and high-traffic areasSeasonal swaps for clothing, bedding, and décorEvent, holiday, and guest prep as neededPrepare and coordinate donation drop-offsUnpack after family travelLaundry & LinensWash, fold, and organize family laundryLinen rotation for beds and bathroomsMaintain a tidy and well-stocked laundry areaInventory & ErrandsRestock pantry, fridge, and household suppliesManage running household supply listsManage household orders and subscriptions (Amazon/Costco/Target)Handle returns, gift shopping, and other errandsMail and package handling, including breakdown of boxesDeep Cleaning & Special ProjectsOccasional deep cleans including fridge, oven, and baseboardsRefresh entryways as neededOrganizational projects (toys, gear)Administrative & Personal Assistant SupportAwareness of family calendarEvent and appointment coordination for childrenVehicle UpkeepLight cleaning and organizing of the family vehicle as neededHow to ApplyTo apply, please submit a short intro letter telling us about yourself and why this role is a great fit, an updated resume, and three professional references with name, relationship, and contact information.
