About the Company

We are a busy family of six living in Manhattan, with a weekend property just outside the city where we spend much of the summer.
With four kids at three different schools, a full calendar of activities, two working parents, and regular travel, life in our home moves quickly.
We have a wonderful full-time nanny and cleaning team in place.
We’re warm, direct, energetic, and decidedly not formal.
There is no hierarchy in our home.
We’re all on the same team.
We’re loyal to the people who work with us, treat people well, have a good sense of humor, and are always open to finding a better way to do things.
We’re hoping to find someone who wants to become a trusted, long-term part of our family’s rhythm and help us create a little more breathing room to enjoy the things that matter most.
