About Our Family

We are a kind, calm family of four living in Hermosa Beach. Our home has a quiet, grounding energy — we value order, thoughtfulness, and the small details that make a home feel cared for. We both work, with one parent frequently traveling for business. We maintain two nearby properties (10 miles apart) and appreciate someone who can keep daily systems and routines flowing smoothly, especially during travel periods.

This position combines household management (about 60–70%) with family support (about 30–40%), with a particular focus on organization and meal preparation. Hours will begin at approximately 15 per week, with potential to increase to 20 as the role evolves.

Who You Are / What We're Looking For

You bring warmth, attentiveness, and quiet confidence into the home. You're organized but flexible, proactive yet calm — someone who helps things run smoothly without rushing the energy of the space.

Ideal qualities include:

• Highly organized and detail-minded — you notice the small things that make a big difference
• Thoughtful and attentive, able to anticipate needs and take initiative with care
• Clear, kind communicator who checks in and follows through
• Calm, grounded presence amid our changing schedules
• Reliable and adaptable with strong follow-through
