We're a close-knit, creative, caring family re-locating into our home in Newport with our energetic toddler in tow. We're both remote workers with flexible schedules, and we tend to move through life with warmth, empathy, and a lot of enthusiasm. We're thoughtful, collaborative, and genuinely care about the people around us.

Our home is wellness-oriented at its core. We care deeply about what we eat, how our space feels, and building rhythms that support a calm and healthy daily life. We're creative by nature, which means the organizational and logistical side of running a household isn't always where we shine. We know what we need, and we're looking for someone who can take ownership of it without being asked twice.

We have a regular cleaning team that comes through a couple times a week, so the day-to-day doesn't require heavy cleaning. What we need is someone who can keep things running smoothly in between, get ahead of the details, and bring a sense of ease to our home.

Our little one is in school most of the day, but he's around sometimes, and he's full of energy. We'd love someone who enjoys that kind of environment.

You're the kind of person who walks into a space, takes in what needs to happen, and just makes it happen. You're warm, enthusiastic about your work, and take real pride in a well-run home. You have a "type B personality with type A execution" - easygoing and easy to be around, but sharp, proactive, and deeply self-directed behind the scenes.

You think in systems. You don't wait to be told what needs restocking, scheduling, or organizing - you notice it and handle it. You're the kind of person who sees a task all the way through from start to finish without needing to be followed up with. You're a skilled executive functioner who takes mental load off the people around you rather than adding to it.

You're also health minded. You understand the value of a well-stocked fridge, a nourishing meal ready to go, and a kitchen that functions as the heart of a healthy household. Cooking and meal prep aren't just tasks to you - they're something you approach with care and intention and enjoy creating and iterating.

Comfort around an energetic toddler is a must, even though formal childcare is not part of this role. Occasional flexibility for evenings or weekend coverage is a plus.
