About Our Family:

We are a busy family with four young children (ages 4 months, 2, 4 and 5 years) who are homeschooled while both parents run companies from home. Our household is fast-paced, and we rely on a well-oiled system to keep everything running smoothly. The day-to-day tasks of the home are paramount to ensuring a balanced rhythm.

We are looking for someone who can work seamlessly behind the scenes, managing tasks efficiently and independently without needing constant direction. We value an absolute taskmaster—someone who thrives on staying organized, takes direction well and is always on top of things, with a hands-on approach to keeping the home in order.

The ideal candidate will have a calm demeanor to match the energy of our home, creating a steady, supportive presence. This role requires someone who is proactive, detail-oriented, and able to handle multiple responsibilities with minimal supervision, all while maintaining the tranquility that allows our family to thrive.

Who We're Looking For

We are seeking a highly organized, task-focused, and self-sufficient individual who can seamlessly integrate into our home. In this role, you are:

• Task-Oriented & Proactive: Able to manage day-to-day tasks independently and efficiently.
• Calm & Professional: A grounded individual with a steady presence who can navigate the unique needs of a busy household.
• Detail-Oriented: Ensure the home stays neat and organized, with a strong focus on maintaining cleanliness and order, especially in areas like the kitchen and laundry.
• Adaptable: Comfortable adjusting to the evolving needs of the family and the household rhythm, especially with young children on the autism spectrum.
• A Fanatic About Cleaning & Organization: A passion for maintaining cleanliness and organizing spaces.

This role is a great fit if you:

• Enjoy taking on a task-heavy role where your efficiency and attention to detail can make a significant impact.
• Are comfortable with a behind-the-scenes position, offering support where needed while being a calming presence.
• Have experience with housekeeping or similar roles, and enjoy the satisfaction of a well-organized and tidy home.

Key Responsibilities:

This role focuses on keeping the household running smoothly day to day, with a few core priorities that anchor the work. Other responsibilities support the overall flow of the home and are handled as time allows or on an as-needed basis. We care more about the right things getting done – not checking all the boxes.

Weekly Priorities:

• Room Resetting & Laundry
  • Perform two daily home resets: after lunch and after dinner, with focus on kitchen and downstairs bathroom.
  • Family laundry: wash, dry, fold, organize, and put away.
  • Bedding and towel rotation: primary bed twice weekly, main bathroom daily, other bathrooms weekly.
• Meal Preparation
  • Monthly prep of kids' supplements.
  • Prepare simple adult meals (protein with vegetables and basic sides).
  • Prepare and start grill for daily steak grilling (clean grill weekly).
• Household Organization & Cleaning
  • Unpack and put away items, break down cardboard, and handle disposal.
  • General organization and decluttering, including quarterly seasonal cleanouts.
  • Grocery shopping every two weeks.
  • Weekly maintenance of cold plunge and sauna.
  • Weekly wipe down of garage gym.
  • Friday backyard reset: sweep patio, clean table, wipe furniture.
• Family Support
  • Provide backup support to nanny with children from 5:00–6:00 PM on weekdays and all day potential support alongside another nanny on weekends.
