• About Our Family

• We are a busy, high-functioning household rooted in faith, strong values, and a deep appreciation for a well-run home. Our environment is warm, casual, and active, shared by two professionals with demanding and dynamic schedules. One partner works long hours with a highly structured workload, while the other maintains a flexible, fast-moving calendar that often requires real-time adjustments—so we’re looking for someone who is comfortable with shifting priorities and can adapt smoothly as the day evolves.

• We take great pride in how our home runs and value consistency, order, and thoughtful support that helps everything function seamlessly behind the scenes. A beloved 90 lb St. Bernard/German Shepherd service dog is a central part of daily life and requires weekly homemade meal preparation.

• Above all, we are looking for someone who understands the importance of being a steady, trusted presence in a private home environment. Trust, discretion, and long-term alignment are not just preferences for us—they are foundational to how we build working relationships. This is not a transactional or short-term support role; we are seeking someone who genuinely enjoys being part of a household team, takes pride in their work, and wants to grow into a deeply reliable, long-term point of support within the home.

• Who You Are / What We're Looking For

• Genuinely upbeat and warm, someone who brings positive energy into the home and enjoys the work they do

• Highly reliable and punctual; lateness and last-minute cancellations are absolute dealbreakers

• Flexible and adaptable, able to shift priorities mid-day without frustration when the schedule changes

• Relationship-oriented and present, not a background presence; you want to actually connect with the people you work for

• Discreet and trustworthy, someone who understands that access to a private home is a privilege and acts accordingly

• Proactive and self-directed, capable of seeing what needs to be done and doing it without constant direction

• Comfortable working independently in a large home during the week, while also collaborating closely with the family on bigger projects

• Comfortable working in a home where firearms are legally owned and responsibly maintained

• A genuine love of animals is a big plus; our dog is a constant presence and central to daily routines
