About Our Family

We are a warm and busy family of five, with three kids (ages 14, 11, and 9) and three cats. Our home is filled with energy, as we juggle school, sports, and activities, and we are looking for someone who can help us keep everything running smoothly. With a focus on maintaining a home so that our family can relax and enjoy time together, we need someone who is detail-oriented and able to take charge of the daily household tasks that keep things on track. The kids are in school during the day, which offers a window of time for you to manage essential tasks like a daily reset, laundry, meal prep, running errands, and maintaining an overall tidy environment.

We are looking for someone who thrives in a structured, busy environment and can seamlessly integrate into our home. Trust, reliability, and efficiency are key, and we want someone who will follow directions and take ownership of tasks independently. We truly value open communication and a positive, collaborative approach, so we want someone who feels comfortable working autonomously but also knows when to check in and ask questions if needed. You will play an essential role in keeping our household running smoothly, and we are excited to find someone who takes genuine pride in their work while bringing a warm, professional presence to our home.

Who You Are / What We're Looking For

We are looking for a dependable, self-sufficient, and super tidy individual to take on the core responsibilities that make our home run smoothly. Your main focuses will be laundry and folding, maintaining a daily reset in the house, running errands, and assisting with meal prep (chopping, cutting, and prepping ingredients). You will take pride in making sure the house remains tidy and that daily tasks are consistently completed to a high standard.

The ideal candidate will be proactive, detail-oriented, and able to follow a list of tasks with confidence, ensuring everything is taken care of efficiently. While the role is centered around following clear instructions, we are looking for someone who brings a proactive and thoughtful approach, ensuring tasks are completed with care and a positive attitude, making our home run as smoothly as possible. You should have a professional demeanor, with a positive and upbeat attitude that will blend well with our busy household dynamic. We need someone who is comfortable working independently, can anticipate our needs, and is always ready to pitch in when necessary. Most importantly, you should be someone we can trust, whether that's looking after the cats when we're away, managing grocery runs, or ensuring the house is ready for the day.
