About Our Family:

We are a warm and welcoming family with two energetic toddlers, ages 4 and 2, who are both in full time daycare. Our family dynamic involves both parents working outside the home—one parent works full-time in an office, while the other works from home on Mondays and Fridays. We're a close-knit family that values our time together, and we're looking for a reliable partner who can help us keep our home organized and running smoothly, so we can focus on enjoying each other's company without getting bogged down by household tasks.

Who We're Looking For

We truly appreciate open dialogue, flexibility, and someone who takes initiative. The right candidate will be comfortable working independently and managing household systems while respecting our space, especially during busy workdays. We're seeking someone who can make an immediate impact—helping with household chores, organizing clutter, and ensuring that everything is in place when we return home. Most importantly, we need someone who can help us save time, reduce stress, and contribute to a calm, organized environment where we can all thrive. If you're a self-starter who is comfortable with a variety of tasks, values clear communication, and you're looking for a role where you can truly make a difference, we would love to hear from you!

Ideal Traits & Skills:

- Warm, approachable, and professional with excellent communication skills
- Highly organized with the ability to maintain household systems and anticipate needs
- Self-starter with a proactive attitude and strong attention to detail
- Calm and focused,



able to handle tasks independently and ensure everything runs smoothly
- Experience with household management and systems
- Comfortable with occasional communication through text, call, and email
- Ability to adapt to the family's evolving needs, especially as the children grow
- Familiarity with managing meal prep and organizing household supplies is a plus

Key Responsibilities:

This role focuses on keeping the household running smoothly day to day, with a few core priorities that anchor the work. Other responsibilities support the overall flow of the home and are handled as time allows or on an as-needed basis. We care more about the right things getting done – not checking all the boxes.

Weekly Priorities:

- Reset and tidy rooms daily (e.g. Load/unload dishwasher, wipe surfaces, vacuum high traffic areas, maintain overall neatness)
- Track and restock pantry, fridge, toiletries, household supplies
- Create and manage running household supply lists (especially the fridge)
- Prepare a nightly meal for the family that is ready ~5pm
- Clean kitchen post-prep and manage kitchen tidiness
- Do one load of laundry daily, rotating through family clothing and towels/bedding

Those core daily and weekly responsibilities come first, but once handled, we welcome support in other areas based on time, energy, and household needs that week, including:

Household Management & Organization

- Create and maintain household organization systems (closets, storage, pantry, toys)
- Conduct seasonal swaps (as kids size out of clothing)

Deep Cleaning & Special Projects

- Tackle occasional deep cleans (fridge, oven, baseboards, etc.)
- Maintain and refresh specific zones (e.g. kitchen, main floor)
- Organize special projects: toy storage, gear rotation

Administrative & Personal Assistant Support
