About Our Family

We’re a busy, warm, and motivated household of three — two working parents and a bright, energetic preschool-aged son — based in the Cypress area. We’ve built a really full life here over the past several years, and we take a lot of pride in our home, our community, and the routines that help our family feel grounded. With our demanding jobs, our days start early and run late, and we’re ready for a little more ease and breathing room in the day-to-day. We’ve leaned a bit too hard on convenience food and delivery lately, and we’re excited to get back to home-cooked meals, a tidier and organized home, and more mental space to actually enjoy our downtime. Beyond the day-to-day, we're a family with lots of ideas, projects, events, and plans. We love hosting, organizing community events, tackling creative projects, improving our home, and dreaming up new ways to make life more fun and meaningful. We also have plans to grow our family so we expect life to get a lot busier! So we’re also looking for someone who is excited to grow with us as our household needs evolve.

You are capable of jumping into a game, helping with a learning activity, or supporting school-day routines when needed.You are the kind of person who can engage a preschooler in a counting game while also managing a grocery list and planning a dinner menu in your head.
