About Our Family:
We are a close-knit family of four navigating a busy lifestyle with three girls, ages 11, 9, and 6, who are all in elementary school. This is a single-parent household, with the other parent splitting custody nearby. Mom is seeking assistance in keeping the home running smoothly while the girls are with her and supporting the organization of their transitions between two homes on a regular basis. As a separated household, we appreciate the flexibility needed to support the unique scheduling needs of the family.
Our family has gone through many changes recently and is looking to find calmness and stability in our new home. We would love support in making it feel like home again and creating a peaceful environment. We value quality time together, with a focus on conscious parenting and providing a stable, loving atmosphere. Mutual respect is at the core of our family dynamic, and we are looking for someone who will become a long-term partner in supporting our household and family life.

We're seeking someone who has a long-term mindset and is capable of helping us with household organization, managing errands, meal prep, and offering light childcare when necessary.
