About the Company
- We are a warm, busy, and easygoing family of six with four children ranging from preschool through high school, plus a beloved family dog.
- Our home is active and full of life, with kids involved in school, sports, and plenty of day-to-day activities.
- Both parents work from home part-time while managing their business, so our household is often in motion.
- We have a casual, open communication style and are looking for someone who can become a trusted, natural part of our home rather than simply working around the edges of it.
- Our days are fluid - what's planned on Sunday may look completely different by Wednesday, and we're looking for someone who can embrace that flexibility with us.
- We have a biweekly cleaning crew, but there’s plenty of ongoing household management happening every day to keep everything running smoothly.
- Above all, we're looking for a dependable, proactive person who will bring warmth, good judgment, and a genuine team mentality to our household.
