We are a lively, easygoing family of four in Lake Oswego that loves being together, laughing often, and keeping a cozy, calm home base amid a busy life. We have two teens and two much-loved pets, and we spend a lot of time on the water and traveling, so our weeks can shift from relaxed routines at home to quick, well-orchestrated departures and returns. We value clear communication, curiosity, and kindness, and we aim to create a home where everyone feels respected, comfortable, and free to be themselves. We are looking for someone who can support the systems we have in place, help our home run smoothly when we are here, and provide thoughtful, attentive care for our pets when we are away.

You're warm, friendly, and a naturally social person who can think on your feet when plans change quickly. You take initiative and can confidently run household tasks, but you also know when to step back and follow the family's lead. You're flexible and easygoing, able to adapt to a dynamic schedule and shifting priorities. You're organized and detail-oriented, and you enjoy creating simple systems that keep a home running smoothly.

You communicate clearly (especially via text), and you're comfortable coordinating with others, including the family's work assistant, vendors, and guests when needed. Most importantly, you help create a home where everyone feels welcomed to be themselves, respected, and safe, and you bring a steady, supportive presence to the day-to-day.

Prior household management event planning and/or professional live-in pet care experience are a plus and would be a valuable asset in this role.
