About The Position

We are a close-knit, creative, and caring family re-locating to Newport, RI, with our energetic toddler. Both parents work remotely with flexible schedules and value warmth, empathy, and enthusiasm. Our home is wellness-oriented, focusing on healthy eating, a calming environment, and supportive daily rhythms. We are seeking a proactive and organized individual to manage household operations and provide family assistance, taking ownership of tasks without constant direction.
