We work from home and appreciate a space that feels calm, organized, and welcoming.Our household includes two dogs (a mellow, affectionate goldendoodle and a younger, more cautious boxer) and a steady rhythm of projects, travel, and entertaining.

We travel frequently and like knowing the home is in good hands while we're away. We take real pride in keeping our home comfortable and well cared for, inside and out.We're looking for someone who understands how a home like ours operates and can take the wheel confidently without being asked twice. The right person will make us wonder how we ever managed without them.Who You Are / What We're Looking ForYou're a seasoned household professional who brings equal parts warmth and efficiency to your work. You have a light footprint — you get things done without creating noise or distraction — and you genuinely enjoy the craft of keeping a home running beautifully.

You're highly detail-oriented, naturally proactive, and comfortable pivoting when the day's priorities shift.You read the room well. You know when to chat and when to stay heads-down and focused. You work independently without needing constant direction, and you take ownership of your responsibilities with pride. You're equally comfortable with hands-on household tasks and administrative support, and you don't treat either as beneath you.

You're warm, professional, and trustworthy, bringing a calm, capable energy to the home.Experience working in a private household is strongly preferred, and comfort around dogs is a must.Key ResponsibilitiesHousehold Management & OrganizationCreate and/or maintain household organization systemsDaily resets and prep the home for cleanersLight tidying (dishes, surfaces, vacuum high-traffic areas)Seasonal décor swapsPrepare and coordinate donation drop-offsEvent/holiday/guest prepAssist with packing and unpacking for travelPlant careChange batteries, light bulbs, smoke detectors, etc.Deep Cleaning & Special ProjectsOccasional deep cleans (fridge, oven, baseboards)Clean humidifiers/air purifiersOrganizational projects (closets, pantry, gear)Inventory & ErrandsRestock pantry, fridge, and household suppliesManage a running household supply listManage household orders and subscriptions (Amazon, Costco, Target)Returns, dry cleaning, and gift shoppingMail and package handling, including breaking down boxesMeal Planning & PrepDietary needs or restrictions: gluten-freeComfortable slotting in prep, batch cooking, etc. as neededDinner support, 3-4x per weekPrep healthy snacks; wash and chop produceGrocery shoppingFollow household dietary needs and preferencesKitchen clean-up and maintenanceLaundry & Linen CareWash, fold, and organize laundry — towels and sheetsLight ironing/prep for events as neededCoordinate duvet dry cleaningMaintain a tidy and well-stocked laundry areaPet CareFeeding, walking, and letting pets outVet and grooming scheduling — monthly grooming for the goldendoodleAdminister medications as needed (e.g., ear drops for the goldendoodle after swimming)Maintain pet suppliesVehicle ManagementSchedule vehicle maintenance — potential to transport for serviceVendor & Property OversightOversee cleaners, contractors, and other vendors; manage scheduling and follow-upResearch and coordinate repairs and quotesRefresh outdoor spacesAdministrative & Personal Assistant SupportTravel planning and logisticsCalendar management, including household schedulesReceipt and budget trackingEvent and appointment coordinationHow to ApplyTo 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.
