About Our Family

We're a friendly, busy family of five with three children—two daughters aged 10 and 7, and a son aged 6—who are new to the Bozeman area. Both parents work demanding jobs outside the home in a local office. Our home also includes two dogs: a sweet 14-year-old lab, and a six-month-old Bernese Mountain dog puppy who often goes to work with mom.

Our family values warmth, initiative, and proactive problem-solving. We're looking for someone who can bring order and ease to our household, helping us stay organized while ensuring afternoons at home feel calm, connected, and productive.

Who You Are / What We're Looking For

You are proactive, positive, and personable — the kind of person people enjoy being around. You have a bias toward action and confidence to take initiative without constant direction. You're organized, communicative, and detail-oriented, able to juggle household logistics while creating a welcoming atmosphere. You thrive in environments that prioritize execution, enjoy being part of a team, and can balance warmth with professionalism.
