Our household is busy and full of chaos. I am looking for someone who can come in and help bring calm- keeping the kids happy and engaged, keeping the dog calm, keeping the house clean and tidy, anticipating our needs. I have been juggling a very busy career, including frequent travel, with two active boys, a dog, a cat, and a recent divorce. I am looking for someone who can be my right hand person- helping with any and all areas of life. There is opportunity for growth for the right person- whether that is into a more corporate role or into a professional organizing, styling or cooking role. For now, I want someone who can jump in and help- I want my children and household cared for in the same way I do. I have very high expectations and don't have time to hand hold. We love to have fun and joke around and are always up for trying new things. I work from home, but generally need quiet so I can manage calls and meetings. I love open and honest communication and someone who can understand and anticipate what we need.
