House Manager & Family Assistant

• Maintain a smoke-free environment.
• Pass background check.
• Valid driver’s license & reliable transportation (mileage reimbursement for errands).
• Comfortable around pets (two dogs and a parakeet).
• Comfortable working in a busy household with children present.

We are a warm, energetic, and dynamic family of five with three children (ages 7, 5, and 3) and a joyful, busy household. We also have beloved pets, two large dogs and a parakeet. Our older children attend school full-time, and our youngest attends preschool part-time.

Both parents run businesses and work a mix of from-home and outside-the-home schedules. We have reliable childcare support, but we are looking for a proactive teammate who can support home operations, bring calm structure to our days, and help us stay ahead — especially with laundry, organization, meal support, and routines.

We value kindness, efficiency, and great communication — and we love someone who brings joy, warmth, and a can-do attitude into the home.

You are patient, organized, and efficient — someone who communicates clearly, follows through, and works independently.
