About The Position

We are a busy and dynamic family of five, including two teenagers and a newborn, along with two large dogs and two cats. Our household is always buzzing with activity—whether it’s school drop-offs, work-from-home setups, or managing the daily logistics of a family on the go. One parent works outside the home and often travels for business (about one week a month), so we’re looking for someone who can step in and keep everything running smoothly all the time, but especially during their absence. The other parent is transitioning from running a naturopathic practice to starting a virtual clinic, returning to work (from home) after maternity leave in March. While building this new business, support is needed with managing the household and family logistics. We value a calm, organized, and positive energy in our home. Our ideal candidate is someone who can take initiative, be proactive, and help us manage the ever-evolving schedules and responsibilities that come with raising teenagers, caring for a newborn, and keeping a household running smoothly. We want someone who can juggle tasks, anticipate needs, and provide the necessary support in both the daily routines and the bigger picture. In addition to supporting the household, we’re looking for someone who will become a trusted partner in our family dynamic—someone who is dependable, warm, and capable of building positive relationships with all of us. You’ll play a key role in helping us maintain an organized home, plan healthy meals, and ensure the children and pets are well taken care of.
