About Our Family

We’re a warm, creative, and high-energy family of five with three strong, curious, and lively kids all attending the same school for the first time. Our children are bright, independent thinkers who thrive when guided by calm consistency, structure, and humor.

Our oldest is artistic and tech-minded. Our middle child is high energy and loves sports. Our youngest keeps everyone laughing and on their toes. One child is vegetarian, and we aim to support their dietary needs without making food an overwhelming focus.

Mom prioritizes family time while also working on a number of projects outside the home as well as slowly returning to more creative work. Dad often has long, unpredictable hours when on projects. We also share our home with three beloved dogs — a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy, a Great Pyrenees/Doberman rescue, and a senior Cocker Spaniel — and a few guinea pigs that our oldest cares for.

Who You Are / What We’re Looking For

We’re a busy, energetic family who thrives on routine but appreciates a little flexibility. With both parents in busy roles, we’re looking for someone proactive and organized who can help manage the household, run errands, and handle house projects. Ideally, we’d love someone who can also lend a hand with driving one of the kids once a week and be open to occasional babysitting when needed.

Our family dynamic is fast-paced, but we make sure there’s plenty of room for laughter and connection. We appreciate clear communication, a strong sense of initiative, and someone who can stay calm and steady when the day doesn’t go as planned. You’ll fit right in if you’re comfortable with a bit of unpredictability and enjoy a lively, sometimes unconventional environment.

We value honesty, good boundaries, and kindness, and we’re looking for someone who brings both to the table. If you love dogs, enjoy spending time with kids, and can help support the kids' Spanish language practice, you’ll be a great fit for our family!
