We’re a professional, active household with two school‑aged children. We value a calm, discreet presence who keeps the home running smoothly so that family time can stay the priority.

Our ideal candidate is independent, dependable, and takes initiative — someone who can anticipate needs, follow through on details, and keep things running smoothly without requiring close supervision. You’ll work primarily in partnership with Mom and coordinate tasks to help the household stay organized and efficient.

  • Daily resets of kitchen and common areas; prep home for cleaning services.
  • Oversee household schedules/calendars and conduct seasonal swaps (clothing, décor, bedding).
  • Prepare for family events, holidays, and guest stays; coordinate donation drop‑offs/pickups.
  • Coordinate/supervise service providers and vendors (e.g., cleaners, handymen, gardeners).
  • Light plant care; load/unload dishwasher, wipe surfaces, and vacuum high‑traffic areas.
• Family Support:
  
  • Assist with school/activity pickups or drop‑offs when needed (family car available).
  • Light supervision/play and backup childcare on occasion; prep backpacks/snacks/clothing.
  • Open to occasional evening babysitting.
• Errands & Household Tasks:
  
  • Track and restock pantry, fridge, toiletries, and household supplies.
  • Manage running supply lists and household orders (Amazon, Costco, Target, etc.).
  • Run errands: groceries, returns, dry cleaning, gift shopping.
  • Handle mail/packages and deliveries.
  • Schedule and track vehicle maintenance, inspections, and regular detailing.
  • Keep vehicles fueled, tidy, and organized for family use.
• Laundry & Ironing:
  
  • Wash, dry, fold, and organize household laundry (clothing, bedding, towels).
  • Rotate bedding and refresh towels; restock laundry supplies.
  • Steam/iron as needed; coordinate dry‑cleaning drop‑off/pick‑up.
• Deep Cleaning & Maintenance:
  
  • Occasional deep cleaning of the fridge, freezer, and oven.
  • Shampoo rugs and other specific cleaning tasks.
  • Ensure humidifiers are cleaned and refilled regularly.
  • Help schedule window cleaning, garden maintenance and any on‑going house maintenance needed.

What We’re Looking For

• Independent and proactive—can see what needs doing and take ownership.
• Reliable and trustworthy with strong follow‑through.
• Warm and personable, but comfortable working autonomously.
• Tech‑savvy (comfortable using shared apps)
• Strong communicator—clear, respectful, and organized
