About Our Family:

We are a warm, busy family of three, soon to be four, living in Franklin, TN. Both parents work from home—mom is an entrepreneur who runs a successful online business and is looking for extra help to keep the household running smoothly as we prepare for the arrival of a new baby.

Our family values flexibility, trust, and a deep love for our home and the activities that fill it. Much of our day revolves around caring for our 3-year-old, with nap time often being the main window for getting things done around the house. While we're always balancing work and family life, we deeply value a well-organized, calm, and efficient home that helps us make the most of our time with both our kids and our work.

We're looking for a self-starter with a kind heart—someone who can handle a variety of household tasks and assist with light meal prep while helping keep the home running smoothly. A strong sense of honesty, reliability, and a positive, helpful spirit are important to us. As we prepare for our new addition, we hope to find someone who will become a trusted and valued part of our household—someone who can anticipate needs and offer thoughtful support with warmth and care. Working with our family means being part of a supportive environment where we truly appreciate the help and hope to build a lasting relationship with the right person.

Who You Are / What We're Looking For:

We're looking for a self-starting individual who can anticipate needs, read the room, and offer support with a proactive and efficient approach. Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, reliability, and a flexible mindset are important for this role. While there will be weekly priorities and routines, we value someone who can naturally identify where help is needed and jump in without much direction. We also appreciate someone who enjoys creating and implementing simple systems that help the home run smoothly.

Prior house management or similar household support experience is preferred, though we value personality, initiative, and a strong work ethic just as highly. You should be capable of handling light physical tasks such as laundry, cleaning, and organizing. We're also seeking someone who enjoys being around young children and can naturally engage with our toddler through play, reading, and everyday interaction.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who takes pride in helping maintain a calm, well-run home and being a dependable, proactive presence in the household.
