About Our Family
We are a close-knit, joyful family of five with three young children (ages 7, almost 5, and nearly 3), a friendly 1.5-year-old Labrador, and a lively, activity-filled household. Our home sits on a golf course and is full of movement, projects, and a touch of joyful chaos. One parent works from home in a high-level, tech-focused role and frequently travels on short notice, while the other is a stay-at-home parent with a background in early childhood care.
We’re looking for a skilled, self-driven house manager/family assistant to bring structure, support, and calm consistency to our days. This person will play a key role in keeping our household running smoothly and supporting both parents and kids in the rhythm of daily life.
While this is not a nanny role, we value someone who genuinely enjoys children and can step in for light childcare support when needed - such as backup supervision, transitions, or family travel prep.
Above all, we want someone who feels like part of the extended family: someone who helps us build a home that feels good, flows well, and allows us to create more space for connection and quality time.
Who You Are
You are calm, steady, and solutions-oriented - someone who thrives in dynamic environments and stays a few steps ahead. You notice what needs to be done without being asked and bring thoughtful, grounded energy to the home.
You’re:
-Discreet, professional, and respectful of boundaries
-Warm and attuned to children (especially verbal, emotionally sensitive kids)
-Experienced in managing households and supporting busy families
-Efficient and organized, able to complete tasks in a timely, practical way
-Hospitality-minded, making spaces feel welcoming and well-ordered
-Comfortable managing a backlog of tasks, prioritizing daily needs while keeping longer-term projects on track
-Tech-literate (Notion, Google Workspace, Android programs) and open to learning new systems
-Fragrance-free (due to household sensitivities)
-Comfortable with dogs — walking, training reinforcement, and even supervising pool swims
-Respectful of religious and cultural values
-College-educated, articulate, and mature
-Adaptable and cheerful, with a consistently positive attitude
-Bonus: Experience as a project manager, executive assistant, or in a tech-adjacent field is highly valued.
