About Our Family

We are a warm, welcoming family led by two physicians with demanding careers and a deep commitment to both our work and our family. Our home is active and full of life, as we regularly balance busy professional schedules, frequent travel, and time spent with our five college age children. We also share our home with three beloved dogs who bring plenty of personality and an abundance of energy into the mix, and are truly cherished members of the family. While life moves at a fast pace, home is where we reconnect, recharge, and enjoy quality time together.

We're seeking an experienced House Manager who can bring thoughtful organization, consistency, and proactive oversight to our household. We're looking for someone who can create the daily rhythm that keeps everything running seamlessly. Coming home after a long day—or returning from travel—to a home that feels organized, welcoming, and beautifully cared for would make a tremendous difference in our lives.

This role is about much more than checking off a to-do list; it's about anticipating needs, creating reliable systems, and providing the kind of behind-the-scenes support that allows our family to focus on the moments that matter most. We value initiative, professionalism, and a genuine sense of ownership, and we're looking forward to building a long-term partnership with someone who takes pride in creating a calm, well-managed home where our family can simply enjoy being together.

Who You Are / What We're Looking For

You are the kind of person who walks into a room and instinctively sees what needs to happen. You are highly organized, detail-oriented, and genuinely take pride in bringing order to spaces. You genuinely enjoy caring for a busy home and are happiest when every detail has been thoughtfully handled.

Whether it's organizing a space, restocking household essentials, managing the day's priorities, or taking the dogs out before they're waiting by the door, you find satisfaction in anticipating needs and ensuring everything runs smoothly. As a true dog lover, you're comfortable around large, energetic breeds and embrace the joyful reality that comes with sharing a home with three active dogs.

You take pride in creating environments that are not only tidy and organized, but also welcoming, comfortable, and ready for whatever the day brings. Confident yet understated, you understand how to support a household with professionalism, discretion, and warmth, always respecting the family's routines and privacy while bringing a calm, capable presence to the home.

You're adaptable and resourceful, recognizing that no two days—or even two weeks—are exactly alike, and you thrive in an environment where priorities can shift. You communicate openly, take initiative without waiting for direction, and approach your work with a strong sense of ownership.

Above all, you find fulfillment in creating a home that feels effortlessly cared for, allowing the family to focus on their careers, their time together, and the things that matter most.
