We are a busy family of four with a lively yellow Labrador, living in the heart of Washington, DC. Both parents work demanding professional schedules and we have two young children at home, an infant and a toddler who is starting pre-K this fall. We also have a wonderful live-in au pair who primarily cares for the baby during the day.

Our evenings are where the real action happens. Between pickups, dinner, bath time, and bedtime routines for two kids at very different stages, the 5:00-8:00 PM window can feel like a sprint. We've built good systems and have support in place, but we need a steady, capable person to tie it all together in the evenings and keep the household humming.

We are a warm, close-knit family who values calm, structure, and consistency - especially for our kids. We're looking for someone who wants to grow with us long-term, through au pair transitions and all the changes that come with young children. Our Lab is enthusiastically friendly and a big personality in his own right, so a love of dogs is a genuine must.

Our ideal candidate is calm, steady, and self-directed. You don't need to be told what needs doing once you've learned the household - you notice and act. You're nurturing with children and know how to hold a gentle but firm line with a strong-willed preschooler without escalating. You bring structure and quiet confidence into the evening routine rather than adding to the noise.

You're equally comfortable cooking a healthy dinner, managing a household supply list, and doing a quick reset of the common areas. You read the room well - you can have a warm, easy rapport with the family while also knowing when it's time to put your head down and get things done. Reliability is a non-negotiable for our family. You show up when you say you will, communicate proactively, and bring the kind of dependable presence that lets two working parents exhale. Overall, you are someone looking to build a lasting, meaningful relationship with a family, growing alongside their children and evolving with their household needs over the coming years. Experience working alongside other household staff is a plus, and a genuine love of dogs is a must.
