About Our Family

We're a busy, close-knit family of four based in Whitby, Ontario. Both parents work locally running a family business, and while the commute is short, our days are full. We're in and out of the office, in the community, and doing our best to give our two young children the focused, present evenings they deserve.

Our household runs on routines. Mornings are a hustle of breakfast, drop-offs, and getting everyone out the door on time. Evenings are for dinner, kids' activities like soccer and swimming lessons, and, when we're lucky, a quiet moment on the couch. What we're missing is someone to bridge the gap between the morning chaos and the evening calm to set us up for success so we're not scrambling when we walk in the door.

We already have a cleaner who comes weekly for the essentials, and our kids are in school and daycare full time. This role is less about childcare and more about keeping the home humming: laundry that's actually folded and put away, dinner components prepped and ready to assemble, surfaces reset, and the mental load lifted a little. We also have an 11-year-old Bernedoodle who is friendly, well-loved, and part of the family. She has a regular walker during the week, but we'd love someone who's comfortable with dogs and happy to help when needed.

We're not looking to add another person to manage. We want a trusted, capable presence in our home who notices what needs to be done and does it someone who takes pride in their work and genuinely enjoys bringing order and ease to a busy household.

Who You Are / What We're Looking For

You're the kind of person who doesn't need a to-do list handed to you every morning. You walk in, assess what's needed, and get to work. You're curious, motivated, and take pride in doing things well whether that's folding laundry, prepping dinner components, or organizing a toy room that's been meaning to get sorted for months. You're comfortable with dogs, at ease around children if they happen to be home, and you operate with quiet professionalism. Prior formal house manager experience isn't required what matters most to us is good judgment, initiative, and the kind of dependability that lets a family breathe a little easier. You're a problem-solver who brings your own ideas to the table and follows through without being reminded.
