About Our Family

We’re a busy family of four living just south of Sarasota. Our two adolescent boys keep life active with school, activities, and the natural busyness that comes with raising growing kids. Both parents have demanding and often unpredictable work schedules, so the rhythm of our household can change from week to week. We’re looking for someone who can step into that flow with confidence, adapt as priorities shift, and bring a steady presence without needing constant direction.

Our home is full of everyday energy: kids coming and going, schedules changing, meals to prepare, and always a few things happening at once. The support we need most is someone who can help keep the household running smoothly through thoughtful meal preparation, laundry, organization, and the daily resets that make a busy home feel calm and manageable.

We’re a warm, easygoing family who values hard work, reliability, and a strong sense of ownership. We appreciate someone who takes pride in what they do, notices the small details, and follows through without needing to be asked. At the same time, we value collaboration and fresh perspectives. If you see a better way to organize something or have an idea that could make our home run more efficient, we want to hear it. We’re looking for a trustworthy partner who can bring calm, organization, and thoughtful momentum to the natural chaos of family life.

Who You Are / What We're Looking For

• A Natural Self-Starter: You notice what needs to happen before anyone has to ask — the paper towels running low, the laundry ready to rotate — and you just handle it. You take genuine pride in staying a step ahead.
• Detail-Oriented, Especially with Laundry: You know your way around delicates, sorting, and fabric care, and you treat the family's belongings with the same care you'd give your own.
• Warm and Easygoing, Especially with Kids: You're naturally good with adolescent boys and comfortable in a home where schedules shift, and activities keep things moving, and no two days look exactly the same.
• A Collaborative Communicator: When you see a better way to do something, you offer it as a suggestion rather than insisting it's the "right" way. You communicate clearly and openly, and you take initiative without waiting to be asked.
• Tech-Savvy and Resourceful: You're comfortable managing grocery orders, household supplies, and restock lists through apps like Instacart and Amazon, and you enjoy keeping a household stocked and running smoothly.
• A Thoughtful Meal Supporter: You're comfortable prepping family meals a few times a week, following recipes, and helping create consistent, easy dinner routines.
• Trustworthy and Dependable: You bring maturity, discretion, and good judgment to a private home, and the family can count on you without needing to remind you.
• In It for the Long Haul: You're looking for a part-time role you can settle into; it's a fit you're genuinely excited about.
