About Our Family:

We are a dynamic, growth-oriented family with two parents who are deeply committed to both our professional livelihoods and the intentional rhythm of our home life. We value building meaningful careers while also creating a grounded, well-run household where everyone feels supported.

Our family includes teen and college-age sons who move in and out of the home as their schedules allow. We are in a season of parenting that balances presence with independence. We believe in staying closely connected to our children while also giving them the autonomy appropriate for their stage of life. Open communication, mutual respect, accountability, and trust are foundational in our home.

We prioritize a healthy and active lifestyle, in how we eat, how we structure our days, and how we engage in extracurricular activities and community. We aim to create an environment that feels organized, aligned, and calm, while still allowing space for the natural movement of a busy household.

Overall, we value maturity, discretion, initiative, and a steady presence from those who support our home. We are looking for someone who understands the nuance of a family with older children, where structure and independence coexist, and who takes pride in helping maintain a home that runs smoothly and thoughtfully. We are a family built off of open communication and seeking a proactive approach to household management and are intentional about building a long term relationship for the right fit.
