About Our Family

We are a busy family of four with two young children and a friendly six-year-old pup. With full schedules and plenty of moving parts, we value a clean, organized, and well-maintained home that allows us to focus on what matters most: spending quality time together as a family.

We appreciate straightforward communication, consistency, and a practical, no-fuss approach to getting things done. As Mom prepares to return to work in the new year, we're looking for a dependable, proactive Family Assistant who can take ownership of daily household responsibilities, anticipate needs, and help keep things running smoothly. Our desire is to come home to a tidy, welcoming space and a prepared meal, allowing us to enjoy evenings and weekends together rather than catching up on household tasks.

Who You Are / What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate will:

• Keep the household running smoothly with warmth, efficiency, and minimal direction or check-ins.
• Enjoy cooking wholesome, home-style meals and follow recipes with confidence.
• Take pride in a well-organized kitchen, neatly folded laundry, and a home-cooked meal on the table by 6:00 PM.
• Work independently and comfortably in the background.
• Take ownership of tasks, return items to their proper places, and leave spaces better than you found them.
• Demonstrate reliability, trustworthiness, and professionalism while respecting the family's personal space.
• Engage young children with a sweet-natured, energetic approach when needed.
• Wear neat, practical attire appropriate for cooking and household work, and maintain a respectful, approachable demeanor, understanding the importance of professionalism in a private household setting.
• Communicate clearly, directly, and professionally, with strong interpersonal skills and the ability to adapt to the family's straightforward, no-fuss communication style.

Key Responsibilities

Meal Support

• Cook simple and healthy meals Monday through Thursday. Dinners will need to be ready by 6:00 PM each evening.
• Prepare weekly lunches for both adults (using dinner leftovers or a separate meal prep).
• Prepare and pack baby's solid foods for daycare as needed.
• Follow a weekly menu provided by the family, with the opportunity to take on more ownership as trust builds.
• Thoroughly clean the kitchen and dishes after dinner.

Household Organization & Maintenance

• Perform daily resets: dishes, surface tidying, sweeping and vacuuming high-traffic areas.
• Every other Wednesday, prepare the home for the Thursday cleaning service.
• Maintain and support existing household organization systems; suggestions for improvement are welcome.
• Occasional assistance with travel unpacking, and event or guest prep as needed.
• As-needed tasks such as changing batteries in household devices or light bulbs.
• Change air purifier filters throughout the home on a regular schedule.
• Occasional sweeping of the outdoor patio area.

Laundry & Linens

• Wash, fold, and put away all household laundry on a regular basis.
• Steam garments as needed.
• Rotate linens on weeks when the cleaning service is not scheduled.
• Keep the laundry area tidy and well-stocked.

Deep Cleaning & Special Projects

• Occasional deep cleans of the refrigerator, baseboards, grout, and similar areas not covered by the regular cleaning service.
• Occasional pantry, closet, cabinet and toy organization.

Inventory & Errands

• Assist with returns as needed.
• Additional inventory and errand support may be introduced as the relationship develops.

Family Support

• Open to providing backup childcare coverage when daycare is unexpectedly closed or unavailable.
• Available for occasional evening date night coverage.

This role requires a background check.
