About the Company

• We are a busy family settled into a historic home with a lot of character, and plenty of life happening in every corner. With young children, two small dogs, a flock of backyard chickens, and a new baby on the way, our days are full and our home is always in motion.
• Mom is home full-time and deeply hands-on with the kids. Dad keeps long hours on weekdays.

• We have active mornings, a rotation of extracurricular activities, and a household that benefits from thoughtful systems and someone who can help us stay ahead of things. We love learning, doing, and figuring things out together. We value calm energy, follow-through, and someone who genuinely wants to be part of making our home run smoothly.
• This is a household where initiative is welcomed when paired with good communication, and where the right person will feel like an essential part of the team.
