About Our Family

We are a busy family of four, with two young children who keep our days filled with energy and laughter. The kitchen is truly the center of our home, a gathering space for homemade meals, lively (and sometimes LOUD) conversations, and family moments. We love sharing home-cooked meals and are looking for someone who enjoys being part of that heart-of-the-home energy.

Both parents are actively involved in our children's daily routines. Our home is full of life, yet we value creating a sense of calm and order behind the scenes. While we manage many aspects of the household ourselves, including overseeing the children's needs, we're looking for someone who can work alongside us to keep the home running smoothly. We need a Household Assistant who is adaptable, proactive, and comfortable taking initiative, while collaborating as part of the team. This person will play an important role in maintaining the flow of daily life, helping us focus on what truly matters: spending quality time together as a family.

Who You Are / What We're Looking For

Organized & Detail-Oriented: Naturally maintain order in a busy home, whether preparing meals, keeping the pantry stocked and beautifully organized, managing art supplies, creating order for toys, or readying the house for the weekly cleaning service
Proactive & Initiative-Driven: Identify what needs to be done and take action independently to ensure the household runs smoothly
Strong Time Management Skills: Excellent at juggling multiple tasks efficiently, keeping the household running seamlessly
Passionate Cook & Baker: Deep love for food and a strong proficiency in the kitchen, with a solid understanding of ingredients and proper care for specialized tools such as cast-iron skillets, knives, and glassware; enjoy cooking and baking for the family, sometimes alongside them, and skilled at following recipes
Collaborative & Flexible: Warm, approachable, and enjoy working alongside the family; comfortable sharing responsibilities, communicating openly, and adapting to changing schedules while respecting established routines
Effective Communicator: Foster trust and build strong relationships through honest, thoughtful feedback
Family-Oriented: Thrive in a dynamic, family-focused environment that values warmth, trust, and humor; excited to join a long-term partnership where you contribute to household flow and family activities

Key Responsibilities:

Household Management & Organization

Maintain household organization systems (closets, storage, pantry, toys, seasonal decor)
Reset and tidy rooms daily; maintain overall neatness and cleanliness, ensure home is prepped for deep cleaning services (1x weekly)
Conduct seasonal swaps (clothing, décor, bedding, etc.)
Prepare for family events, holidays, and guest stays
Support packing/unpacking for travel or seasonal transitions
Supervise or coordinate with service providers/vendors (e.g., handymen, cleaners, landscapers)
Load/unload dishwasher, wipe surfaces, vacuum high traffic areas
Maintain indoor plants

Meal Planning & Preparation

Plan and prep healthy meals/snacks for kids and parents
Prepare items for future school lunches (bake muffins, freezer snacks, etc.)
Shop for groceries and meal-related items
Follow dietary needs and family preferences (organic)
Clean kitchen post-prep and manage kitchen tidiness

Inventory Management & Errands

Track and restock pantry, fridge, toiletries, household supplies
Create and manage running household supply lists
Run errands: grocery shopping, returns, dry cleaning, gift shopping

Deep Cleaning & Special Projects

Tackle occasional deep cleans (fridge, oven, baseboards, etc.)
Maintain and refresh specific zones (entryways, garage, mudroom, pantry)
Organize special projects: toy storage, seasonal decorations, gear rotation

Laundry & Linen Care

Wash, dry, fold, and organize family laundry (e.g., clothing, bedding, towels, for entire household, not just children)
Manage linens: rotate bedding, refresh towels, restock essentials
Keep laundry areas tidy and well-stocked with supplies

Occasional Family Support & Child Assistance

Prep backpacks, clothing, or snacks for school
Light supervision, playtime, or back-up childcare as needed
Occasional help with child-related laundry or errands
