About Our Family

We are a warm and intentional family, balancing the demands of a fast-paced lifestyle based in Tacoma, Washington. Our family includes two young daughters, one toddler and one newborn, and life right now is full, layered, and a beautiful juggle. One parent runs a business from a home office on the property, while the other works demanding hours and travels frequently. We have high expectations of ourselves and others and are deeply committed to building a home environment that feels calm and grounded, even on the busiest days.

We approach parenting with intentionality. We follow Montessori principles, keep screens out of our children's daily routine, and prioritize emotional attunement, child-led exploration, and gentle, consistent boundaries. Our household runs on rhythm, communication, and mutual respect. We value trust above all else, and we understand that trust is built over time through consistency and integrity.

We are direct communicators and value transparency. Mom is looking for a right hand, someone who can help ease the mental load of running the household, keeping everything running smoothly from meal prep to laundry, errands, and everything in between. This role is essential in maintaining harmony and order in our home, allowing us to spend more quality time together as a family.

We are looking to bring someone into our home who understands what it means to be a professional in a private household setting — someone who shows up, understands healthy boundaries, sees what needs to be done, and does it without being asked.

Who You Are / What We're Looking For

We are looking for a dedicated, highly organized, and proactive House Manager who thrives in a dynamic, family-oriented environment. You are someone who understands the importance of creating structure and managing logistics in a busy household. You approach tasks with a solution-oriented mindset and have a knack for anticipating needs before they arise.

The ideal candidate is warm, grounded, and proactive. You carry yourself with calm confidence and know how to move through a home with care and intention. You are the kind of person who notices when the toilet paper is running low, anticipates what the afternoon will look like before it arrives, and communicates proactively without being prompted.

Your warmth and patience make you great with children, and your ability to stay calm under pressure helps you juggle the various responsibilities that come with managing a busy household. You are experienced with young children — particularly infants and toddlers — and you bring a Montessori-informed approach to childcare.

You understand emotional co-regulation, redirection, and child-led exploration. You do not rush a child through their process, and you do not transfer stress into the room. You are coachable and receive direct feedback with openness rather than defensiveness. You understand that clarity is kindness. You bring your own standards to the role and hold yourself accountable to them without needing to be reminded.

You're trustworthy, reliable, and understand the value of being an integral part of the family's daily routine. Most importantly, you're looking for a long-term partnership where your contributions are valued and appreciated, and you'll be a key part of making the home a well-organized, peaceful environment.

Key Qualities:
