House Manager & Family Assistant with Meal Prep Support
About The Position
We are a busy, ambitious family built on structure, teamwork, and a deep commitment to one another. As two attorneys who own and operate our law firm together, our professional lives are demanding and fast-paced. We are also settling into a new home and establishing routines that help our household run smoothly, making organization, initiative, and reliability especially important. At the heart of our family is our daughter: a bright, curious, and engaging 10-year-old who thrives when surrounded by consistency, patience, and encouragement. She loves science, creative arts, learning new things, and spending quality time with the people around her. As an only child we would love having someone who can actively engage with her, support her interests, and help create a fun, structured environment. We also share our home with two energetic Siberian Huskies puppies who are very much part of the family. They keep us active, entertained, and on our toes. With the right support, we hope to reclaim more quality time together as a family, whether that means helping our daughter explore her interests, enjoying family dinners, making it to the gym, or simply having the flexibility for an occasional date night. We are looking for a proactive, organized, and warm professional who enjoys being part of a dynamic household and finds fulfillment in helping a family thrive.
