Requirements: Non-smoker, reliable transportation, background check required, strong culinary/meal planning skills, tech-savvy, and comfortable around children and farm animals.

We're an entrepreneurial family of four-two independent kids (ages 6.5 and 8)-building a life rooted in growth, purpose, and joy. We live on a small working farm, balancing real estate ventures, renovation projects, and family life with a mix of vision, humor, and flexibility.

We're seeking more than just help-we're looking for a long-term partner in running our home, someone who thrives in creating systems, loves to cook, and can bring both business acumen and heart to the role. Our family is deeply growth-oriented-spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually-and we want to work with someone who shares those values.

You're a household czar-organized, proactive, and adaptable. You take initiative, create structure where it's needed, and keep things running smoothly without needing to be micromanaged.

You're confident in the kitchen, with experience in meal planning, prep, and baking, and you enjoy putting together delicious, nourishing meals. You're resourceful in finding new recipes, building a family recipe book, and keeping the kitchen stocked and organized.

Beyond the kitchen, you're tech-savvy, comfortable using tools like Google Suite and ChatGPT, and skilled at managing calendars, scheduling vendors, and researching solutions. You have business savvy, an eye for efficiency, and the curiosity to create systems that will serve the family for years.

Most importantly, you bring positive energy, emotional intelligence, and a growth mindset. You can balance our family's visionary, big-picture style and calm, grounded approach-becoming the steady, flexible presence that holds the household together.
