About Our Family

We're a busy, active family in a season of growth raising two energetic young boys and getting ready to welcome a new baby this summer. Our days are full, our calendar moves quickly, and there's usually a lot happening at once. Both parents run their own businesses: one is frequently in and out of the office and travels for work, while the other is largely home-based. Mornings in particular can feel like organized chaos school drop-offs, lunches packed, backpacks accounted for, and everyone getting where they need to be.

We've already built a strong foundation at home with a weekly housekeeper and trusted vendors, so this isn't a role where someone needs to create everything from scratch. What we're missing is the person who connects the dots someone who notices what needs attention before it becomes urgent, keeps the household moving behind the scenes, and creates systems that make everyday life feel easier and calmer. We love someone who doesn't wait for direction or need hand-holding; someone who can confidently say, Here's what I'm seeing, and here's how I'd handle it. We're looking for someone who takes ownership, anticipates needs, and helps dictate the rhythm of the household rather than waiting to be told what to do.

Personality-wise, we're warm, low-key, and easy to get along with. We value people who are highly organized, proactive, trustworthy, discreet, and warm without being overly familiar. This role is household-first, but because our kids are a big part of daily life, we appreciate someone who enjoys the energy of a young family and understands how thoughtful household support creates more ease, calm, and connection at home. We appreciate someone who can step into the flow of family life when needed while staying focused on keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes.

The best fit for our family is someone who communicates clearly, brings calm confidence to a busy household, and is comfortable making decisions without constant direction. We value initiative, reliability, and someone who is easy to be around not overly chatty, not transactional, just steady, capable, and invested in helping our home function at its best. We're not looking for a friendship dynamic we're looking for a trusted, capable partner who helps create more breathing room so we can show up as our best selves as parents and as a family.

• Thrives in a household-first role You understand that your primary responsibility is keeping the home running smoothly, while comfortably stepping into family life when appropriate.
• Enjoys being around young children without seeking a nanny dynamic You don't mind the energy, noise, or unpredictability that comes with two active boys and a growing family, but your focus remains household support and operations.
