About Our Family

We're a busy, warm, and close-knit family of four — two parents who work remotely in fast-paced careers, a preschool-aged kiddo with a full schedule of activities, and a brand-new baby who joined us earlier this year. Life in our home is full, fun, and always moving. We love to travel, spend time outdoors, hit up Costco, explore our city, and most importantly — be present with each other.

We currently have weekly house cleaners, a gardener, and an au pair arriving soon to support with infant care. What we're looking for is someone who can step in as the glue that holds the behind-the-scenes together, so we can close our laptops and actually be with our kids at the end of the day. We want this person to feel like an extension of our family — someone who takes ownership, fits naturally into our rhythm, and helps our home run smoothly without us having to ask. This role is starting part-time, but we see real room for it to grow over time. We're looking for someone who wants to build something with us.

Who You Are

You're warm, high-energy, and genuinely love being around young children. You bring a positive, upbeat presence to everything you do and know how to connect with kids in a way that's playful, creative, and nurturing. You're the kind of person who walks into a space, spots what needs to happen, and handles it — without being asked twice. Self-directed and adaptable, you shift easily between tasks and personalities, and you thrive in a household where no two days look exactly alike. You communicate directly and honestly, know how to hold appropriate professional boundaries, and understand that discretion and trust are non-negotiables in a private home. You lead an active, healthy lifestyle, and you're just as comfortable going on a park adventure with kids as you are organizing a closet, prepping snacks, or mapping out a family trip to Europe.

The primary goal of this role is to reduce the family's mental load. We are looking for someone who doesn't simply complete a list of tasks, but notices what is coming up, anticipates what the family will need, and proactively keeps household logistics moving.
