About The Position

We are a warm, busy family of three living in a townhome in Brooklyn, with our 7-year-old and our adorable new 8-week-old puppy. Both parents work full-time with hybrid schedules, balancing time between the office and home. We want to make more time for each other and focus on the important moments, and we’re looking for an extra set of hands to help keep our home running smoothly so we can focus on family time and enjoy the little moments together. Our days are full, and we’d love support with the day-to-day tasks that help create a calm, organized home—things like errands, light pet care, tidying and organization, and helping everything stay on track in between visits from our bi-weekly cleaning service. We’re looking for someone who is proactive, dependable, and kind—someone who enjoys creating order, takes initiative, and truly loves helping a family feel supported.
