About Us:
We are a family of four with two active boys, aged 7 and 10 (1st and 4th grade), who are full of energy and creativity. Both children thrive with structured leadership and support, and participate in numerous activities and sports that often take them to opposite sides of the city, so time management and coordination are key.
Both parents work full-time: Mom works outside the home three days a week, while Dad works from home, but his schedule can be unpredictable. We’ve had a nanny since 2021, but with the aging of our boys and growing demands of our family, we need someone to help with the overall management of the home.
What We’re Looking For:
We need a proactive, highly organized, and capable House Manager & Family Assistant who is comfortable balancing the needs of an active household. The ideal candidate will be nurturing, energetic, patient, discrete, and a confident leader who can manage both child-related tasks and household responsibilities with precision. A positive, can-do attitude and attention to detail are essential, as well as the ability to adapt to a changing schedule.
This role requires someone who will anticipate needs, maintain order, and offer flexible support when necessary. If you enjoy creating systems, staying organized, and helping a family thrive, you might be the perfect fit for us.
