About the Role
We are a busy, high-energy household with three school-age children and a large, lovable dog. Both parents work full-time in demanding professional roles, with one parent traveling frequently. Our home is active, organized, and always moving, and we take pride in creating a well-run environment where everyone can thrive. We have a strong foundation of household support in place and we are looking for someone who can become a trusted part of our team and help elevate the way our household operates. We are direct, driven, and professional, while also valuing warmth, flexibility, and a team-oriented approach. The right person will be a true partner in managing the many moving parts of our home and family life; someone who takes ownership, anticipates needs, and confidently steps in to keep things running smoothly.
