About Our Family:

We are a busy, dynamic family of four with two teenagers (ages 17 & 14) and one beloved 10-pound Shih Tzu/Bichon mix. Our household is filled with activity, from school schedules and soccer practices to supporting a growing business venture. Our family is transitioning into new routines, and we're seeking someone who can help bring structure and stability to our ever-evolving schedule. One parent is launching a new medical practice, and the other works at a firm close by.

We value flexibility and teamwork in our home, and we're looking for someone who can adapt to our busy lives while maintaining a sense of calm. Our children are actively involved in school and extracurriculars, and we appreciate having a household manager who can support their independence while helping to coordinate daily needs. Our dog is a cherished member of the family and needs regular walks in the morning and at noon. We also manage the remote care of an elderly stepfather in Chicago, which adds another layer to our busy lives.

We're hoping to find someone who can help keep our home running smoothly, handle a variety of tasks with a positive attitude, and ensure that we stay ahead of the game in both family and business matters. A sense of humor, professionalism, and a passion for organization are key to fitting into our home. We love structure, but we also value breathing room and want someone who can help us maintain that balance.

Who You Are / What We're Looking For:

We're seeking an organized, proactive, and detail-oriented individual who thrives in a busy and dynamic environment. You'll be able to jump in with confidence, managing everything from meal prep and laundry to scheduling and household maintenance. You'll be comfortable balancing the needs of the family, keeping up with our teenagers' schedules, and providing much-needed support to one of the parents to build their business.

A strong communicator, you'll anticipate our needs and handle tasks independently, without requiring much direction. You're tech-savvy, experienced with tools like Google Suite, and capable of handling both household and administrative tasks. We're looking for someone resourceful, with a problem-solving mindset and the ability to work cross-functionally, supporting both household and business needs.

A key requirement for this role is a strong cooking ability. You should be an expert with the crockpot and creative with meal planning, accommodating diverse appetites and dietary preferences. We value healthy, home-cooked meals, and you'll be expected to come up with creative ideas that cater to our family's tastes - whether that's a hearty, protein-rich dish for our athletic teenagers, or something more refined for the whole family to enjoy. Knowledge of Mediterranean cooking is a plus.

A positive attitude and energy are essential in our fast-paced home, and we appreciate someone who brings structure, positivity, and a calm presence to our daily flow. Experience with longevity is a plus, as we're looking for someone to join our family for the long term. We also value humor and a laid-back approach, understanding that while our home is busy, it should also be fun and welcoming.
