About Our Family

We are a busy family who values a calm, organized, and welcoming home. With a young child who keeps us on our toes, two adults balancing demanding jobs, and frequent travel, we find ourselves needing extra support to keep everything running smoothly. In addition to our busy lives, we also live on a property with goats and chickens, which adds an extra layer of charm (though you won't be responsible for their care).

As we often travel for work, we're looking for a trustworthy, proactive individual who can lend a helping hand in organizing our home and creating systems that keep everything running smoothly. We want our home to be a place of peace and togetherness, where we can truly focus on enjoying each other's company, and we need someone who can help maintain that balance.

The right person will be able to step in, manage household tasks like organizing, tidying, and meal prep, and offer light childcare support. The goal is to create more space for us to enjoy family moments while ensuring our home remains well-maintained and stress-free.

• Proactive & Independent: Can anticipate needs and take the initiative with tasks.
• Communicative: Friendly, approachable, and comfortable with both children and around animals, providing light supervision and engaging with our daughter when needed.
• Trustworthy: Able to manage tasks independently and provide a sense of calm organization in our home.
