About Our Family
We are a busy, active household in the Wash Park West neighborhood of Denver. The parent in the home is a practicing surgeon with a demanding and often unpredictable schedule, making dependable household support essential to keeping everything running smoothly. The household includes one young child (shared custody) and two beloved rescue dogs who bring a lot of heart and energy to the space. The child's co-parent lives just down the street, and together we share a nanny between both homes for routine childcare. Our primary home is a charming Victorian rental. We also share a mountain property that we use frequently, especially in summer.
When not working, spending quality time with family and the dogs is the priority. We travel often, both domestically and internationally. Between outdoor pursuits like rock climbing, skiing, snowkiting, and kiteboarding, there is always gear to manage, trips to prepare for, and logistics in motion.
As a nontraditional household, we value openness, inclusivity, mutual respect, and trust above all. We strive to create a home where every person feels welcomed, and we're looking for someone who genuinely shares those values. The right person will not just work for us, they will work alongside us as a calm, capable, and trusted partner who helps the household run seamlessly.
Who You Are / What We're Looking For
You are the kind of person who walks into a room and immediately sees what needs to happen and then handles it. You are exceptionally organized, self-directed, and operate several steps ahead. You do not need a to-do list handed to you; you create the to-do list and execute it. You are calm under pressure, low-ego, and genuinely service-oriented. You understand that the value you bring is not just in completing tasks, it is in removing the mental load so that the people you support can focus on what matters most to them.
You are comfortable and genuinely at ease working in a diverse, inclusive, and nontraditional household where respect for every individual is a foundational value. You approach different identities, family structures, parenting approaches, communication styles, and neurodiversity with professionalism and an open mind. You help create an environment where everyone feels supported, respected, and able to thrive. You understand what it means to serve as an ADHD accountability partner - not in a clinical sense, but in a grounded, organized, and consistent way. Personal or professional experience with neurodiverse individuals is a plus. You do not get frustrated when priorities shift or when things feel like they are "all over the place." You help anchor. You are happy to manage things like gear sorting, snow removal coordination, and occasional property walkthroughs. You enjoy being in a home with friendly dogs and small children.
You are reliable, resourceful, and genuinely enjoy bringing order and care to a home.
