About Our Family:

We are an active family of four with two working parents, one child away at college, a busy, sports-loving 8th grader, a calm senior dog, and a cat. While our household thrives on routine, we also need to remain flexible, especially during the school year when athletics fill our afternoons and evenings.

As two parents working full-time in the office with demanding careers, we are also balancing work travel, club baseball schedules, after-school sports, managing our home, and being present parents to our two children. We are lucky to have had a great house manager and nanny working alongside our family for several years. She is transitioning to her next venture, and we are excited to take this as an opportunity to reassess what we need as our school-aged son gets older and life continues to get more full.

We value clear communication, proactive thinking, and the ability to keep things running smoothly without constant direction. We appreciate support that allows us to focus on work and quality family time. We are ready to work with a candidate we can truly trust to step in seamlessly when competing priorities arise and proactively reduce the mental and logistical load.

Who We're Looking For

You are a proactive thinker who anticipates what needs to be done and takes initiative. You're comfortable managing a busy teenager's schedule, connecting with him naturally, and fostering a balance of support and independence. Organized, reliable, and communicative, you have the energy and personality to keep up with an active household. You bring a strong moral compass, a solutions-oriented mindset, and the flexibility to pivot quickly when plans change. You are equally confident coordinating with vendors, prepping meals, managing household logistics, and providing a steady, engaging presence in the home.

Please note: Success in this role means that the household runs smoothly, minimal direction is required, and includes proactive operations and seamless logistics. This role is NOT: a hands-on nanny role, childcare-focused or task-based.
