About Our Family

We're a busy, warm, and active household of 3 with a lot of heart and a lot going on. Both parents travel regularly for work and split time working from home when in town, so our schedule can shift week to week. We have a 3-year-old who keeps life fun and full of energy, two large, affectionate dogs, and two cats who are very much part of the family. Our home has a great indoor‑outdoor flow, with a gated pool and a large backyard the dogs love. We have house cleaners every Friday, so we're looking for someone to fill the gaps — the day‑to‑day rhythm, the childcare backup, and the proactive household support that keeps everything running smoothly when we're heads‑down in work or on the road.

We're looking for someone who becomes a trusted part of our home, not just someone checking boxes. Trust, warmth, and reliability matter greatly to us.

• Trustworthy & Dependable: You are reliable, punctual, and consistent. You take pride in being someone a family can count on and feel completely comfortable welcoming into their home.
• Warm, Nurturing & Great with Children: You have a natural connection with young children and bring a patient, playful, and caring approach to childcare. You can confidently manage routines, babysitting, and occasional overnight care.
• A Genuine Animal Lover: You adore dogs and cats and are comfortable caring for multiple pets, including large, enthusiastic dogs. You happily incorporate pet care into your daily routine.
• Flexible & Adaptable: You are comfortable shifting priorities, jumping into new tasks, and adjusting to the changing needs of a busy family. No two days need to look exactly alike!
• Calm, Capable & Resourceful: You maintain a cool, collected demeanor, even when things get busy. You're a natural problem‑solver who can confidently handle unexpected situations.
• Detail‑Oriented & Thorough: You notice the little things, from an empty fridge to a laundry basket that needs attention, and take pride in following tasks through to completion.
• Professional & Respectful: You bring a friendly, approachable presence while maintaining appropriate boundaries and respecting the family's privacy. You understand how to provide meaningful support while maintaining a light footprint in the home.
• A True Household Partner: You genuinely enjoy the variety of household management, from errands and laundry to meal prep, organization, and family support. You find satisfaction in making life easier for others and becoming a trusted, long‑term part of a family's routine.
