We are a family on the cusp of the empty nest stage, with our three daughters heading off to various colleges and beginning exciting new chapters of their lives. Our home is a blend of warmth, activity, travel, and transition, as both of us periodically work from home and enjoy occasional travel throughout the year.
We live in a historic home on Indianapolis' north side that is full of character, charm, and the thoughtful upkeep that naturally comes with an older property. Day-to-day life involves coordinating with trusted vendors, staying ahead of household maintenance and projects, and ensuring everything runs smoothly and calmly behind the scenes.
Our household also includes a friendly golden retriever and two cats, who are very much part of the family. Above all, we value privacy, discretion, positivity, and a peaceful home environment that feels organized, welcoming, and well cared for. We're hoping to find someone who is not only professional and detail-oriented, but also fun, friendly, upbeat, and genuinely enjoys becoming a positive presence within a family's daily rhythm.
