About Our Family: We are a busy, dual-working household with two young children (toddler and infant) and a dog. Both parents work primarily from home in demanding, high-focus careers and are deeply committed to both their work and their family life. With a recent return from maternity leave, the household is in a transition period where having strong operational support will make a meaningful difference in day-to-day quality of life. We value routine, structure, and creating a home environment that feels calm, functional, and supportive. We are looking for a partner who can step in, take ownership of key areas, and help create sustainable systems so our home runs smoothly even during busy work seasons or travel. We have full-time childcare in place, but we appreciate flexibility for occasional backup support or seasonal schedule adjustments when daycare hours shift. Who You Are / What We're Looking For: You are proactive, confident, and action-oriented. You see what needs to be done and take ownership without needing close direction. You are comfortable making decisions, building systems, and bringing structure to a home that is busy but deeply values organization and balance. You are a strong communicator who is comfortable asking questions, providing updates, and collaborating with two working parents without needing to be micromanaged. You bring a calm, competent presence and take pride in making life easier for the families you support. You likely thrive in roles where you can work independently, problem solve, and create long-term efficiencies - not just complete daily tasks. You are detail-oriented, reliable, and take initiative naturally. Key Responsibilities: Meal Planning & Preparation Plan and batch prepare approximately 2 family meals per week.
