About the Company

We’re a busy, active family of four with two young girls and a much-loved mini Bernedoodle.
Both parents are entrepreneurs with full professional schedules, and our family life is equally dynamic, with school, activities, travel, hosting, and plenty of moving pieces.
Our home is warm, lively, and frequently on the go with near weekly travel.
We value someone who brings a calm, organized presence and can comfortably adapt as schedules and priorities shift.
We’re excited to find a long-term partner who takes genuine pride in creating an organized, welcoming home and making everyday family life run more smoothly.
We have an au pair who primarily supports the children, as well as a regular cleaning team.
