We love good food, we host often, and our home is a place where people gather.We have a weekly cleaning service and wonderful family nearby, but what we're missing is consistent, professional weekday support from someone who wants to make our household run better. With three kids and two full schedules, our days move fast, and the home works best when someone is thoughtfully staying ahead of things in the background — keeping up with laundry, resetting the spaces that collect clutter, and making sure meals are covered without it becoming one more thing on our plate.We're looking for someone who walks in the door and gets it — who notices what needs attention, follows through without being asked twice, and brings a steady, capable presence to our home and our kids.Who You Are / What We're Looking ForThe right person for this role is proactive, warm, and deeply reliable. You don't wait to be told what needs to be done — you notice, you act, and you follow through. Three things matter most in this role: staying on top of meal prep so the family always has something good to eat, keeping laundry from piling up, and handling genuine daily resets that keep the home feeling calm instead of cluttered.You're the kind of person who sees a disorganized drawer and quietly fixes it, who checks the fridge before grocery shopping without being reminded, and who shows up every day ready to carry your share of the mental load. You have a genuine rapport with kids — you're warm and fun, but you're also comfortable being the authority in the room when needed. Our kids are sweet but sharp-witted, and they need someone who can hold the line with a smile.You read the room well, knowing when to be present and engaged and when to give the family space. You think like a project manager: you take in the situation, identify what's needed, and execute. Ideally, you love to cook and can fully own a meal from start to finish. You're organized, systems-minded, and confident enough to suggest a better way of doing things when you see one.Key ResponsibilitiesLaundry & Linen CareFull laundry management for the family, including washing, folding, and organizingSpecial garment careWeekly rotation of hand towels and bathroom linensLinen rotation as needed in coordination with the cleaning serviceMaintain a tidy and well-stocked laundry areaMeal Planning & PrepCook dinner 2–3 times per weekPack school lunches for kids approximately 3 times per weekPrep healthy snacksGrocery shopping with attention to dietary needs (gluten free, healthy)Kitchen cleanup and maintenance after cookingHousehold Management & OrganizationCreate and maintain household organization systems throughout the homeDaily resets and prep the home in advance of the weekly cleaning serviceLight tidying: dishes, surfaces, vacuuming high-traffic areasSeasonal clothing, decor, and bedding swapsCoordinate donation drop-offsEvent, holiday, and guest prepPacking and unpacking for kids as neededOrganizational projects throughout the home including kids' closets, playroom, mudroom, pantry, and shared spacesFamily Support & Child AssistanceSchool pickups and drop-offs; transportation to extracurricular activitiesLight supervision and backup childcare during afternoon hoursHomework support as neededKid-related errandsWeekly date night coverageInventory & ErrandsRestock pantry, fridge, and household supplies; manage running shopping listsManage household orders and subscriptions (Amazon, Costco, Target, etc.)Returns, dry cleaning, gift shopping, mail and package handling, and breaking down boxesVehicle ManagementCoordinate periodic cleaning of family vehiclesDeep Cleaning & Special ProjectsOccasional tidying and cleaning of the guest suite above the garageVendor & Property OversightBe the point of contact for cleaners, contractors, and landscapers while on-siteResearch and coordinate repairs and service quotes using a provided vendor listServe as the point of contact for lawn care, pest control, and other outdoor service crewsLight outdoor furniture maintenanceAdministrative & Personal Assistant SupportMaintain awareness of the family calendar; provide proactive reminders for upcoming eventsReceipt and budget tracking for household expensesEvent coordination as neededHow to ApplyPlease submit a short intro letter telling us about yourself and why this role is a great fit, an updated resume, and three professional references with current contact information.
