About Our Family:

We're a busy, animal loving family of four in Alexandria, VA, looking for a dedicated and proactive household manager to help keep our home running smoothly. Our family thrives when our home is in order, and having top-notch organization helps keep everyone regulated and stress free. Both parents work from home and we have energetic 3.5-year-old twins.

We have a very active household, with both parents managing long days and demanding careers, making it difficult to keep up with daily tasks. We need someone who can help us get caught up initially and then maintain a sustainable rhythm going forward so we can actually enjoy our downtime and spend quality time together as a family. We're creating a comprehensive household manual so the right person can step in and take ownership of the day-to-day - meal prep, laundry, organizing - without needing constant direction. We are hoping to build a long-term partnership with someone who feels comfortable in our space and can develop a warm, professional relationship with our family over time.

Who You Are / What We're Looking For:

You're proactive and anticipatory, able to learn our family's rhythms and foresee what's coming next without being asked. You're organized, tech-savvy, and comfortable using tools like Notion to follow household systems. You bring a strong work ethic, reliability, and take genuine satisfaction in helping a busy household feel organized, supported, and at ease.

You're a team player who communicates openly and directly, and you're willing to do things the way we prefer them done, respecting our established systems around cleaning products, laundry care, and household organization. You are someone who will respect and follow our family's detailed systems rather than substituting your own methods. While our childcare needs are covered, you are someone who is comfortable around young children and a variety of animals (we have a puppy, two cats, birds, a fish and frog). While we don't need our House Manager to help out with our pets currently, you may need to help with the dog in the future once his puppy training is completed.

You are someone who will bring a professional but warm presence to our home. You're looking for a long-term position where you can grow with a family over the years, and grow your responsibilities over time. Above all, you're someone who can help restore a sense of calm and order to our household so we can focus on being present with our kids and help us find more balance as a family.
