We are an active, and adventure-loving family with 11-year-old boy-girl twins entering middle school and two college -age sons who are home during the summers. Our twins are heavily involved in all of the sports:competitive soccer, softball, baseball, flag football, and basketball, and our daughter also loves theater, singing, and dance. We also have a new six-month-old Bernadoodle puppy named Bodie who keeps everyone on their toes and adds plenty of energy to our home.

As a family, we prioritize experiences and quality time together. We love adventure travel and have created memories of dog sledding under the Northern Lights in Finland, zip-lining in Costa Rica, and hiking through some of our favorite destinations. At home, you'll often find us enjoying pool time, family movie nights, and hosting friends and family, especially during the holidays.

We are both executives with demanding schedules, and this stage of life can feel wonderfully full and fast-paced. With long workdays and a full household calendar, we're looking to intentionally create more space to be present with our children during these important years. Our goal is to build a support system that allows us to focus on what matters most: meaningful family time, being engaged parents, and creating a well-run home without carrying every task ourselves. We value warmth, connection, responsibility, and teamwork, and we're looking for someone who can become a trusted partner in helping our household thrive.

You are an engaging, organized, and highly proactive professional who thrives in a fast-paced household and enjoys bringing order, consistency, and calm to our dynamic family life. You are self-motivated and able to take ownership of responsibilities, executing tasks with minimal direction. You naturally anticipate needs, take initiative, and enjoy creating systems that help a household run smoothly.

Building genuine relationships with children comes naturally to you. You understand the balance between being warm and approachable while maintaining healthy boundaries and professionalism. Rather than doing everything for the kids, you enjoy coaching and encouraging independence, helping them develop strong executive functioning skills, responsibility, and confidence as they navigate the transition into middle school. Gamifying chores is a bonus! You approach each day with a positive, professional, and energetic attitude, modeling engagement and presence at all times. During working hours, you remain focused on the children and family's needs, limiting personal screen time to emergencies or work-related tasks and errands only.

You are tech-savvy, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing household systems, schedules, inventories, and projects. You're adaptable, patient, and reliable, with the ability to pivot as priorities change. An active lifestyle is a plusyou'll be supporting a sports-focused family, so being able to keep up with a busy calendar of practices, games, and activities is important. Experience with or enthusiasm for sports, theater, or youth activities is welcomed. You're a safe and dependable driver, comfortable around pets, able to swim for pool safety, and committed to maintaining a healthy, screen-free presence while working. Most importantly, you enjoy creating environments where families can be fully present and connected.
