About Our Family:
We are a vibrant, hardworking family living on a 16-acre farm, balancing the demands of a growing business with the joys and challenges of raising five kids (ages 8-19) and a niece who lives with us. Our family is homeschooled, and the kids are highly independent in their schooling and their household responsibilities, but with their schedules comes the challenge of maintaining order in our busy household. While we manage our farm and home, our family also runs a thriving business, and lately, the demands of both have begun to outpace our ability to keep everything running as smoothly as we'd like.

Our home is filled with energy, movement, and the hum of our business, which operates out of our barn. As our business continues to grow, we are looking for extra support to help us manage the household tasks that keep us running. From laundry to meal prep, inventory management and organization, we need someone who can step in and help us maintain the structure and efficiency that our busy lives require.

We have a strong focus on maintaining independence within the household. Each of the kids has their responsibilities, and we want them to continue to manage their own tasks, but we're looking for someone to work with them and support their efforts. Our goal is to find a reliable, proactive individual who can help us stay organized, manage the day-to-day logistics, and ensure that our home remains a peaceful and functional space amidst the busyness. While we've always tackled things ourselves, we're realizing that we can't continue to do everything on our own. We're ready to hand over the reins to someone who can help keep everything running smoothly.

If you enjoy working in a dynamic environment and have an eye for detail, we'd love to have you join us. We're looking for a professional who can step in and get things done without needing constant direction, someone who thrives on being proactive, and someone who is ready to help us keep our home and business in harmony. We value open communication and are eager to find a partner who is organized, dependable, and excited to bring new ideas to our household. If this sounds like the kind of environment where you would thrive, we'd love to meet you.
