ABOUT OUR FAMILY
A brief, straightforward way to describe our family would be "crunchy conservative." Our home is peaceful, screen-light, and centered around family life and gentle daily rhythms. We prioritize time in nature, organic food, and non-toxic living. We value mindfulness and presence, open communication, and working through conflict calmly and compassionately. We are a more traditional family who believes in God and appreciates Christian values. We lean conservative, raise our children with a biological understanding of boys and girls, and do not introduce gender identity topics. Because this role works closely with our children and daily family life, we are seeking someone who is aligned with our family’s values, not just respectful of them, in order to be a cohesive, seamless fit.
