About the role

  • Start time may shift earlier on heavier weeks to allow time for meal prep and household reset before the 6:00 PM daycare pickup.
  • Both parents hold demanding full-time jobs and commute into the city most weekdays, which means mornings are fast-moving and afternoons are a sprint to the finish.
  • Our toddler is full of personality, curiosity, and energy, and thrives in an imaginative, screen-free environment.

Responsibilities

  • Family Support & Child Assistance
  • Occasional drop-off support as needed
  • Build and maintain household organization systems from the ground up - full creative latitude, nothing is off-limits
  • Meal prep support for parents 1-2 times per week: prep vegetables, marinate fish, portion snacks (not full meal execution; recipes provided)
  • Maintain a tidy and well-stocked laundry area
  • Manage a running household supply list; restock pantry, fridge, and household supplies as needed
  • Maintain a smoke-free environment
  • The late afternoon and evening window is where our household most needs support, and we're looking for someone who can step in and make that stretch feel manageable instead of chaotic.
  • Having moved into our home not long ago, we're open-minded, collaborative, and ready to hand over the reins to someone who genuinely cares about building a well-functioning home with us.
  • You approach a new home the way a project manager approaches a new assignment - you make a plan and execute it, and you get genuinely excited about building systems and documenting where things live.

Requirements

  • Must be authorized to work in the United States
  • Reliable personal transportation required
  • You are warm, kind, and energetic, with a genuine love for this type of work and the enthusiasm to engage an emotive, imaginative toddler.
  • You are comfortable enforcing gentle boundaries with young children and understand the value of imagination-first, screen-free play.
  • You are efficient, reliable, and trustworthy, with a low tolerance for wasted time and a high standard for follow-through.
  • You are a self-starter who reads the room and knows when to take initiative and when to check in.

Nice to have

  • Handle incoming mail and packages
  • break down and dispose of boxes
  • Feed cats and refill water daily
  • Litter box maintenance (preferred)
  • Administer medication
  • Cat sitting as needed when parents travel (separate rate)
  • Organizational projects throughout the home (closets, pantry, toys, gear)
  • Oversee periodic deep cleaning efforts (fridge, oven, baseboards) in coordination with cleaning vendor

Compensation

  • $35-$40 per hour, commensurate with experience

Benefits

  • Flexibility for occasional cat sitting or weekend childcare is a bonus!
  • Date night coverage 1-2 times per month
  • Reliable personal transportation required; mileage reimbursement provided (family will supply a car seat)
  • You're the right person for this role if you walk into a room, take stock, and know what needs to happen next without being asked.
