• Coordinate appointments and communicate with household service providers when needed
• Help schedule repairs, maintenance, deliveries, and other household services
• Complete general household reset tasks to keep the home running smoothly
• Anticipate household needs and proactively address them

• Dependable, trustworthy, discreet, and respectful of the family’s privacy
• Comfortable working in a home with young children and a dog
• Able to manage multiple priorities and follow tasks through to completion
• Strong communication skills
• Valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and willingness to run local errands
• Ability to lift and move ordinary household items, groceries, packages, and storage containers as needed
• Professional references from prior employers or families

Schedule

• Part-time
• Weekdays
• Consistent weekly availability preferred
• Exact days and hours will be discussed based on the candidate’s availability and the needs of the household
• Occasional schedule flexibility may be requested with advance notice

What Success Looks Like

The ideal candidate will become a trusted and dependable part of our household. Over time, this person will understand how our home operates, anticipate recurring needs, maintain organized systems, and help prevent everyday household responsibilities from becoming overwhelming.

We value someone who takes pride in their work, communicates clearly, respects privacy, and genuinely enjoys creating a calm, organized, and efficient home environment.
