Travel is occasional for both parents, ranging from a few times a year to once a quarter.Our home is full of life — two young children, two cats, and a rhythm that moves fast. Our older child has high support needs and currently has a dedicated nanny who cares for him during the day. Our younger child attends daycare and brings her own wonderful energy home each evening. A possible third child is on the horizon, so this household is growing and we want someone who can grow with us.We've put a lot of thought and love into our home, and we're committed to building a strong, well-run household. A professional organizer is doing a one-time whole-home setup, and we need someone to own and maintain those systems going forward. We also have a rental property nearby that may occasionally require support during regular working hours.We're looking for someone who can be a trusted, consistent presence in our home — someone who feels like family while maintaining the professionalism that keeps things running smoothly. Reliability, timing, and genuine warmth matter deeply to the.Who You Are / What We're Looking ForYou are someone who walks into a home and instinctively knows what needs to happen next. You don't wait to be asked — you notice, you act, and you take pride in the details. You're physically capable and energetic, comfortable navigating a multi-level home and engaging with a household that has a lot of moving parts. You communicate openly and honestly and comfortable with us doing the same.
