About Our Family

• We are a warm, active family of four in Littleton, Colorado, with two daughters, ages 7 and 9, and a playful young Goldendoodle. We've created a wonderful rhythm and routine that works well for our family, balancing school, activities, busy careers, and time together. We value healthy living, a welcoming and organized home, and being intentional about how we spend our days.
• With two working parents, and extended family nearby, our days are full in the best ways! One of us works primarily from home, making it a priority to be present for school drop-offs, pickups, and the everyday moments with our daughters, while the other manages a demanding professional schedule. We have great biweekly cleaning support and established household systems, but we're in a season where we'd welcome an extra set of hands to help carry the many little details that naturally add up throughout the week.
• We're excited to welcome a Household Manager who can step into our existing routines and make a meaningful difference in the everyday flow of our home. From keeping laundry and linens on track to preparing healthy meals, managing returns, running errands, and staying ahead of household needs, your support will help us spend less time managing to-do lists and more time enjoying family life. We value kindness, mutual respect, and open communication, and look forward to building a trusted, long-term partnership with someone who takes pride in their work and feels genuinely appreciated as part of our family's support team.

Who You Are / What We're Looking For

• We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys bringing order and ease to a busy family home. A natural self-starter with strong organizational instincts, an exceptional eye for detail, and the confidence to take ownership without constant direction. You'll take the time to learn our existing systems and preferences, thoughtfully build upon them, and approach each day with resourcefulness, accountability, and care.
• Personality and presence matter just as much as experience. High emotional intelligence, a warm, positive attitude, and the ability to read the room are essential. We appreciate someone who communicates thoughtfully, respects boundaries, and knows when to step in or give space. Being dependable, conscientious, tech-savvy, and focused allows you to move seamlessly between household priorities while maintaining a calm, professional presence.
• Above all, we'd love to welcome a trusted extra set of hands who shares our appreciation for wellness, intentional living, and a well-cared-for home. Someone who understands that reducing the mental load goes beyond completing tasks — it's about the mindset, energy, and thoughtful execution you bring to the role. Our hope is to build a lasting partnership that creates more freedom for us to enjoy what matters most: time together as a family.
