About Our Family:

We are an energetic family with two active young boys, aged 4 and 6. Our mornings start early and are full and require a solid, dependable routine to get the day started smoothly. Both parents have full-time careers that also start early, and our kids go to school. Our family values order, clear and consistent schedules and enjoying our weekends and quality family time. We love outdoor time—rain or shine—and we love nature, parks, and staying active together. Our oldest is starting to get into sports (soccer, basketball), while our younger one is all about cars, trucks, and Hot Wheels.

This is a full and dynamic season of life in our home and we are seeking more balance and support to reduce the mental and physical load of running a smooth household. We are looking for someone who can blend fun with structure, keeping the kids engaged and ensuring the household runs efficiently.

Who You Are:

You are a highly organized, self-managed individual with exceptional time management skills. In this role, the individual will be the backbone of our morning routine and household management, ensuring everything runs smoothly and the family’s needs are met. A natural with young, active children, this person has experience with childcare, especially with energetic boys, and can engage them creatively-whether that’s playing with trucks, coaching a game of soccer, or helping them wind down. The ability to be silly and fun while supporting structure and routine is key, helping guide the kids through their mornings.

Beyond childcare, this person brings a project manager mindset to the table. With a knack for organization and time management, they tackle tasks like meal prep, laundry, and errands with ease. Prioritizing core responsibilities-keeping the house tidy, leaving the house better than you found it, managing daily routines, and ensuring everything from grocery shopping to dry cleaning is handled seamlessly-is essential. Being tech-savvy and comfortable using tools like Notion, Instacart, and others to streamline tasks and make life easier for the family will be vital. The ability to work independently, take initiative, and maintain a positive, can-do attitude while being a reliable support for the family is important.
