About Our Family

We are a busy and quietly intentional household in the north metro of the Twin Cities. Both adults work demanding careers outside the home, with schedules that can shift unexpectedly. We have two young children at home, including a toddler exploring the world and a newborn who keeps us happily on our toes. We are Type A in how we like our home to run — systems, order, and follow-through matter to us — and while life with small children has made it hard to stay ahead of everything, we are always working toward a calmer, more organized home.

We value honesty, reliability, and kindness above everything else. Our household is calm and low-key. We are not loud or high-energy people, and our kids thrive with steady, grounded adults around them. We have a weekly cleaner and a nanny focused on infant care, and we are looking for someone to fill in the operational gaps that make the biggest difference in our day-to-day.

We are health-conscious and environmentally mindful — we prefer glass food storage over single-use plastic, and we keep a well-stocked, intentionally run kitchen. The right person will step into a household that already has good bones and help us maintain and grow the systems we have in place.

Who You Are / What We're Looking For

You are someone who walks into a space, notices what needs to be done, and handles it without being asked twice. You are organized and detail-oriented, but never rigid — you understand that a household with young children requires flexibility and a calm presence when things shift.

Others describe you as quietly capable: you build trust through consistency and follow-through, not flash. You may be coming from a nanny background and are ready to step into a more household-focused role, or you may already have strong house management experience. Either way, experience with newborns or infants is a meaningful plus. You take ownership of your work, communicate proactively, and genuinely care about the families you support.
