Some flexibility for additional coverage may be needed, particularly when the primary parent is traveling. **Compensation:** $30-$35 per hour **Start Date:** ASAP **Requirements** **About Our Family** We're a busy, warm household that runs on rhythm, routine, and a whole lot of heart. Both parents work full-time, and our days are shaped around school schedules, after-school activities, neighborhood play, and family dinners whenever we can enjoy them together. We have two school-age children who are active, social, and enjoy getting outside and spending time with friends. They’re independent in many ways, but we’re looking for someone who enjoys being around kids and can bring a fun, engaged, and responsible presence to their afternoons. On non-sport days, you might head to the park, play outside, organize a game, or help coordinate neighborhood play with friends. We’re looking for someone who can be a reliable point person while giving the kids the independence that comes naturally at their age. Our large, friendly dog is a beloved member of the family and an important part of our daily routine, so we’re looking for someone who truly loves dogs and enjoys getting outside with them. A daily 1–2 mile dog walk is a core part of the role. Most of all, we’re hoping to find someone who will feel at home in our family’s rhythm—someone who enjoys spending time with the kids, loves our dog, takes pride in helping things run smoothly, and genuinely enjoys being part of a warm and active household.**Who You Are / What We're Looking For** You’re warm, proactive, and confident, with a natural ability to notice what needs attention and take initiative without being asked. You’re comfortable in a busy household, enjoy being around kids, and would love having a big, friendly dog as part of your daily routine. You bring a calm, positive energy to the home and enjoy being an engaged presence during the after-school hours. We’re looking for someone who is punctual, dependable, and takes pride in keeping things running smoothly. You approach your work with kindness, respect, and professionalism, communicate clearly, and follow through on what you commit to. Most importantly, we are looking for someone who is trustworthy, thoughtful, and invested in becoming a positive part of our household. **Key Responsibilities** **Family Support & Child Assistance** **Laundry & Linens** **Pet Care** **Household Management and Organization** **Inventory & Errands** **Meal Planning and Prep** **Deep Cleaning & Special Projects** **How to Apply** Please submit a short intro letter telling us about yourself and why this role is a great fit, an updated resume, and 3 professional references with contact information.
