Our household runs at a high pace during the week, and we have worked hard to put good systems in place (weekly cleaning, daily dog walking, and outdoor maintenance are all handled). What we haven't been able to solve is the late afternoon pinch point: the scramble between wrapping up work, getting a healthy dinner on the table, and keeping up with the logistics that pile up during the day.We both work demanding professional schedules, often from home part of the week, and travel intermittently throughout the year. We have a big, lovable Bernedoodle who already has her own walker and groomer. We just need someone who loves dogs and is happy to pitch in when needed.Our home is warm, calm, and organized.
