About The Position

We are a busy, close-knit family entering an exciting new chapter as we settle into our new home in Midlothian. With two parents managing demanding careers, a school-aged child, and an active household, we are looking for support that helps create more ease, organization, and balance in our day-to-day lives, and that helps us build the systems behind our home and our family’s rental properties. Our home also includes a lovable 60-lb Redbone Coonhound who is very much part of the family. We value a home that feels calm, welcoming, and thoughtfully cared for. We approach household management with intention, efficiency, and high standards, and we appreciate someone with a heart of service who takes pride in the details, from a well-stocked pantry to a well-run spreadsheet. Trust, discretion, and strong communication are incredibly important to our family, along with kindness and a sense of responsibility. This is a true partnership in helping our household run smoothly. You will operate as an extension of our family, running our household and supporting our rental property portfolio. We are looking for someone who is dependable, proactive and takes ownership of the details that make everyday life more manageable. This role will start with household management and property administration support and is expected to grow over time.
