About Our Family:

We are a warm, busy family living in Niwot, CO. We have three young children aged 4.5, 2, and 3 months. Our oldest will start kindergarten in the fall while our middle will begin attending preschool. Both parents have demanding yet fulfilling careers. We're hoping to find someone who can help take the load off, allowing us to focus more on enjoying quality family time together. Our goal is to have someone who can assist with meal prep, light childcare, household tasks, and organization so we can spend more time playing with the kids and less time worrying about the day-to-day logistics. We value a proactive, calm, and supportive presence in our home—someone who can help keep things running smoothly while we enjoy the precious moments with our children.

Our household includes a 13-year-old Shiba Inu dog, who is very low-maintenance.

We have a wonderful nanny, currently recovering from an injury and we're hoping to find someone who can step in and help with both the children and the household responsibilities while she recovers and focus on the house management with back-up support when she returns.

Who You Are / What We're Looking For:

We're looking for a calm, patient, and highly organized person who is proactive and can handle a busy, fast-paced environment. You are independent, have a direct communication style, and are comfortable managing multiple tasks. You will be able to help with household tasks, meal preparation, and childcare support as needed. Ideally, you have experience managing meal prep and household organization and enjoy spending time with young children. You're someone who can anticipate our needs and work autonomously to keep things running smoothly. We value long-term commitment and someone who can grow with our family over time. If you're tech-savvy and comfortable with social media, that's a bonus, as one parent is exploring increasing their social media presence for work.
