About The Position

We are a vibrant family with five young children under 10, seeking a Household Manager & Family Assistant to become a meaningful part of our support system. Our home is filled with love, creativity, laughter, and plenty of energy. We value presence, authenticity, emotional awareness, and the understanding that relationships are at the heart of a thriving home. This role is deeply personal, and we are looking for someone who can help create more ease, calm, and capacity within our home. We value people who bring their own strengths and personality to the role while understanding and supporting the goals of the household. Food is central to our family culture, and we love preparing nourishing meals from scratch using whole ingredients. While practical support with meal prep, laundry systems, dishes, organization, errands, and daily household resets is incredibly valuable, what matters most is the energy someone brings into our home. We are looking for a grounded, warm, emotionally intelligent person who values connection, communicates openly, and finds fulfillment in creating calm within the beautiful rhythm of family life. If you're someone who believes that meaningful work happens through relationships, who values presence as much as productivity, and who wants to help a family move from simply managing the day-to-day to truly flourishing, we'd love to meet you.
