About The Position

We are a busy, close-knit family of four living in a warm and welcoming home in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia. We recently moved into our home and are still in the process of setting up systems and getting organized. One of us works from home, while the other focuses on home life as we raise our toddler and newborn. We enjoy engaging in developmental activities with our toddler, and we embrace a Montessori-style approach to learning at home. As a family, we prioritize spending quality time together and enjoy creating a peaceful, organized environment. We are focused on settling into our new space and establishing a calm, nurturing home. As we navigate the busy months ahead, we are looking for someone to help balance childcare and household responsibilities. We value proactive support, professionalism, and maintaining a calm, organized environment where everyone works together as a team. We want someone who can bring a sense of calm and order to our home, helping us create more time for what truly matters—family time.
