About Our Family

We are a vibrant and close-knit family of four, with two young children who fill our home with joy and energy. Our household is often lively, with friends and extended family coming and going, as we love to entertain and make sure our home feels like a welcoming place for everyone. We truly value our time together, especially around the dinner table, where we make it a point to gather every evening for a family meal. It’s our chance to catch up, share stories, and enjoy each other’s company after our busy days.

Life here is full of love, laughter, and a shared commitment to making every day meaningful. We thrive on a balance of routine and spontaneity, always finding time for outdoor adventures, creative projects, and, of course, family time. Mom is deeply passionate about horses and her personal and professional goals, while also being fully dedicated to supporting the flow of the family life. As the kids transition to preschool in the fall, we’re looking for someone who can not only assist with meal prep and household tasks but also provide personal support to manage the day-to-day flow of the family.

You bring a tech-savvy mindset, are comfortable navigating technology for tasks, driving, and managing family expectations in order to ensure the household runs smoothly through technology.

With strong attention to detail, you take pride in supporting home organization and performing daily resets to ensure the household remains tidy and welcoming. You’re highly organized and intuitive, able to anticipate the family’s needs and adapt to their ever-changing schedules. You are comfortable with the responsibility of managing routines and staying on top of daily tasks, especially as the children transition to school. You will collaborate closely with the mom and provide personal assistance where needed, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
