About Our Family
We are a family of three with one child (age 4) who attends a school program in the mornings. As entrepreneurs managing several businesses, our household moves quickly and has many moving parts. Both parents work from home and value a calm, well‑run environment that supports a health‑focused lifestyle. Our home is active, welcoming, and rooted in family values, with hopes to grow in the future.
We travel regularly—sometimes for work, sometimes for family time—and appreciate someone who can help prepare the home before departure and ensure everything is organized upon return. With wellness and simplicity at the center of our routines, we’re seeking someone who brings steadiness, structure, warmth, and initiative into our home.
Who You Are
We are looking for someone who is a self‑starter and takes initiative with a proactive approach to managing the family’s needs. You’re loyal, honest, and competent, with the ability to be caring and warm, especially around children. We value a bubbly personality that brings energy into the home, and someone who is organized, responsible, and detail‑oriented in managing daily tasks.
You thrive when you can anticipate needs and take action without needing to be told—whether that’s preparing snacks for the park or beach or organizing meals for the week. Health is important to you; you take care of your own well‑being, which aligns with our family’s health‑conscious lifestyle.
You have experience in similar roles and understand the importance of clear communication—you can follow directions but aren’t afraid to ask questions when needed. Family values are at the core of who you are, and you’re passionate about providing a safe, organized, and well‑run environment. You enjoy having a list of tasks to stay on top of everything, especially when it comes to meal prep and ensuring the home is well‑stocked with everything the family needs.
