About Our Family

We are a busy, health-conscious family of four with two young daughters — a baby (1.5) and a toddler (4) — who bring lots of energy, personality, and joy to our home. Both parents work full-time, and we care deeply about creating a home that feels healthy, organized, and calm, even when life gets busy. We have strong systems in place and value thoughtful routines that help our family feel our best.

Our kids are both in school during the day, but the afternoon and evening is where we need the most support. We're looking for someone who can become a trusted part of our routine — handling school pickups, getting the children home safely, settling into the afternoon rhythm, and helping everything transition smoothly through dinner and the end of the workday. A weekly service provides prepared meals and housekeeping comes bi-weekly, allowing this role to focus primarily on our kids and creating a more seamless evening for everyone.

We love spending time together as a family and want someone who genuinely enjoys being around young children. Our younger daughter has a severe soy allergy, so attentiveness and care around food handling is essential. Our older daughter is social, curious, and loves conversation and connection. If you are warm, playful, dependable, and take pride in creating calm, healthy routines for a family, you will fit right in here.

Who You Are

You are warm, patient, playful, and genuinely silly in the best way — the kind of person young children are naturally drawn to and parents immediately trust. You bring a calm, steady energy to the after-school hours and aren't afraid of big toddler feelings, transitions, or the occasional challenging moment. You understand that consistency, patience, and a positive attitude are key to helping young children move smoothly from school into the evening.

You are extremely reliable and take punctuality seriously, as the afternoon routine depends on you being there when the girls need you. You are confident caring for multiple young children at once and comfortable managing the practical, hands-on needs that come with this stage, including diaper changes, car-seat safety, packing lunches, and keeping everyone safe and engaged. You are also comfortable navigating a moderate incline on foot while accompanying young children.

You are methodical, self-directed, and able to manage a consistent daily cadence without needing frequent reminders. You notice what needs attention and take care of it or communicate proactively when something needs follow-up. You are a confident, responsible driver who takes transporting young passengers seriously, communicate clearly, and bring a positive, upbeat presence into the home. Above all, you are dependable, attentive, and someone the family can trust to make their afternoons and evenings feel smoother, calmer, and more enjoyable.
