About Our Family

We're a family of five living in Atlanta - two professionals balancing demanding careers with the joys and chaos of raising three energetic kids. Between work responsibilities, school pickups, sports schedules, and the never-ending stream of permission slips and Venmo requests, we've reached a point where we want to be more present for what matters most: quality time with our children, our meaningful work, and taking care of ourselves.

We're looking for a trusted partner who enjoys bringing order to busy environments, takes pride in helping a household run smoothly, and finds satisfaction in checking things off a list. We value warmth, professionalism, flexibility, and a proactive mindset. Someone who notices what needs to be done and steps in without needing constant direction will thrive with our family.

We have an afternoon nanny we adore who focuses on childcare, and we're now ready to bring on a House Manager who can take ownership of the household operations that keep our home running smoothly. We're solution-oriented, appreciate proactive problem-solving, and deeply value someone who can create order without needing constant direction. If you thrive on completing tasks, bringing systems to life, and working independently with clear purpose, you'll feel right at home with us.

Who You Are / What We're Looking For

You're the kind of person who sees a messy playroom and immediately envisions how it could function better. You're calm under pressure, especially in the morning rush with three kids who move at their own pace. You're efficient and focused, not easily distracted, and you take pride in knocking tasks off a list and seeing tangible results at the end of your day.

You understand that working in a home with young children means adaptability - you read the room, adjust your energy to match the moment, and know when to engage warmly with the kids and when to stay quietly productive in the background. You don't need daily check-ins or constant feedback to feel confident in your work. You're the type who thrives with autonomy, appreciates clear expectations, and brings a professional yet approachable presence to the household.

Experience with children and managing morning routines is essential. You're organized by nature, you communicate clearly when needed, and you genuinely enjoy the satisfaction of a well-run home. Above all, you bring a steady, grounded energy that helps our household feel less chaotic and more intentional.
