About Our Family

We are a busy, creative family of four, including two very active young daughters, ages 2 and 1, and a gentle 11-year-old Irish Doodle who enjoys occasional walks and lots of chin scratches. Our household blends work-from-home, professional schedules, and nurturing young children, so we value someone who can help create structure, maintain calm, and keep our home running smoothly. Mom works from home and values quiet focus time for her creative work, while Dad works largely outside of the home on a typical professional schedule.

Our home reflects our original style, with an art loft and spaces designed to feel warm and welcoming. We love hosting friends and family, ensuring everything is organized and inviting. Weekends are set aside for rest, family, and reflection. We believe in protecting margin in our lives so we can say yes to opportunities, help others, and avoid being overscheduled.

We are a values-driven family that places a strong emphasis on kindness, integrity, gratitude, and respect. We strive to create a home environment centered on meaningful connections, personal responsibility, and treating others with compassion. We’re looking for someone who can take the mental load off meal planning, laundry, and household systems so we can focus on what matters most: our family, our work, and our well-being.

Who You Are

You’re highly organized, proactive, and comfortable making independent decisions without needing constant direction. You see what needs to be done and take initiative to solve problems resourcefully. You thrive on creating and maintaining systems, and you communicate openly when plans change. You’re respectful, kind, and comfortable working in a home where innovation and flexibility are valued. You also enjoy creative personalities and humor. You work well with others, especially our full-time nanny, and appreciate a household that runs smoothly but warmly. You’re a dog lover, somewhat tech savvy, and you understand that taking the mental load off a family means anticipating needs, not just responding to requests.

While our full-time nanny provides the primary childcare, this role focuses on household management, meal preparation, organization, and supporting the overall functioning of the home. We are looking for someone who truly enjoys being in the kitchen and takes pride in creating nutritious, delicious meals for a busy family. Cooking and meal preparation will be a primary focus of this position, so we're seeking someone who can confidently plan, prep, and execute meals with ease. The ideal candidate is comfortable following recipes, enjoys trying new dishes, and can keep the kitchen organized and running smoothly. From preparing daily family meals to stocking ingredients, managing meal prep, and accommodating dietary needs, this person will play an important role in supporting the family's day-to-day life through thoughtful and consistent meal preparation.

Beyond the kitchen, you will make a meaningful contribution by keeping the household running efficiently, maintaining organizational systems that support family life, and helping create more time and mental space for creativity, connection, and the opportunities that matter most.
