About Us

We are a warm, respectful, and busy professional couple working full-time from home, raising two young boys who attend school full-time. Our days are full of energy and joy, and we're looking for an extra set of capable, caring hands to help keep our household running smoothly and intentionally. We hope to find someone who is not only reliable and detail-oriented but who also feels like a natural extension of our family—someone kind, trustworthy, and team-minded who will take pride in supporting a well-organized and happy home.

About You

You are dependable, proactive, and love creating calm through organization. You take ownership of your work, adapt quickly to change, and bring a kind, can-do spirit to whatever the day brings.
