We are an active, health-focused family with two children, ages 8 and 11, who love sports and outdoor activities. With both parents working demanding professional roles and the kids involved in multiple year-round sports, our household runs on structure and systems. We have thoughtful organizational systems in place that keep things running smoothly and would appreciate the support to help us maintain that .

Our family values clear communication, reliability, and treating household help as key members of our team. We spend a lot of time outside, prioritize healthy eating, and maintain an active lifestyle. Our two indoor cats are low-maintenance companions who complete the household. We are looking for someone who can become a trusted, consistent presence in our daily routines.

You are organized, reliable, and thrive on structure. You communicate clearly, follow systems with precision, and take pride in going above and beyond in everything you do. You're a positive role model who enjoys spending time with school-age children and has the energy to keep up with an active family. You're empathetic, thoughtful, and career-driven, viewing this role as an opportunity to make a meaningful impact. Most importantly, you are consistent and dependable, someone who sticks to schedules and can be counted on when it matters most.

You are someone who can manage and calm the afternoon chaos! The afternoon (2-8 p.m. window) is the most critical time for family support where we need the most help. You are someone who is comfortable in the kitchen and can manage meal prep, along with evening drop offs and pick ups as needed. You are someone who is detail oriented and can help keep up with daily tidying and all laundry for the family. Ideally, we are looking for an individual who thrives in a busy environment and can be someone we depend on to make our evenings easier and keep our home more organized.
