About Our Family

We are a busy, high-energy household in Plymouth, MN with three kids in elementary school and a full and fast-moving rhythm to our days. Our home is also a place of work: one parent runs a business and regularly works from the house, which means the home needs to run like a well-oiled machine even when the workday is happening right alongside it. The other parent is a professional athlete with a travel-heavy schedule, which means our primary parent is frequently managing everything solo and at full speed.

We are active, organized by nature, faith-oriented, and we keep a respectful, health-forward home. Our kids are involved in sports most evenings and weekends. We host regularly, travel for work and family, and move through seasons, schedules, and logistics quickly. We are looking for someone to own the home: to see what needs doing, handle it, and keep everything running smoothly so we can be fully present with our family when it matters most.

Who You Are / What We're Looking For

You are highly organized, proactive, and self-directed. You do not wait for a to-do list. You see the laundry pile and start it. You notice the pantry is getting low and handle it. You bring ideas instead of questions. You are fast-moving and high-energy, comfortable working in a home that has a lot happening at once, and you communicate clearly and efficiently without needing a lot of hand-holding.

You respect the values of the household, keep things professional, and understand that discretion matters here. You ask smart questions when you need to, but you figure things out independently and come back with solutions. You are warm, reliable, and genuinely invested in making this family's life run better. If you've got experience in household management or as a nanny with strong organizational instincts, we'd love to meet you.
