About The Position

We are a busy family of three—two full-time working parents, an 18-month-old son, and a friendly large labradoodle. We value quality time together and want to enjoy each other's company without being overwhelmed by household tasks. We believe in building systems that streamline and simplify our daily routines, allowing us to focus on what truly matters. We value organization, cleanliness, and efficiency, and we're seeking someone who can help maintain order in our home. Our ideal candidate is reliable, proactive, and able to create a smooth, harmonious home life—so we can spend less time on logistics and more time together as a family. You are energetic, detail-oriented, and proactive—someone who thrives when there's always something to do. You're comfortable juggling multiple responsibilities and love creating systems that keep everything running smoothly. You have a project manager mentality and can see tasks through from start to finish independently. With a positive attitude and strong intuition, you can read the room and understand what needs to be done without constant direction. You're a self-starter who handles daily household operations with ease and tackles special projects confidently. You bring excellent organizational skills, clear communication, and adaptability to meet the family's evolving needs. A long-term commitment is preferred, as we’re looking for someone who will grow with our family and provide lasting support. Your focus on maintaining an organized, efficient home helps our family spend less time on logistics and more time doing what matters most—being together.
