While we embrace a bit of “organized chaos,” there are certain household routines and responsibilities that help keep us grounded and bring a sense of calm to our days. We value someone who can help maintain our rhythm and keep things running smoothly so that when the sports calendar arrives 24 hours before the start of the season, we’re able to take it all in stride.\nBoth parents work full-time with hybrid schedules, and we’re looking for someone who can be a steady, helpful presence in our home: keeping things running smoothly, maintaining the organized and tidy environment we value, and taking real ownership of the behind-the-scenes details that make family life feel manageable. From activity pickup/drop-off and supporting meal planning to staying ahead of household inventory and routines, we’d love a partner who helps reduce the mental load and brings calm to the day-to-day shuffle.\nOpen communication, flexibility, and a sense of humor go a long way in our home. We especially appreciate someone who is observant and attentive, naturally stepping in where needed-whether that’s helping tackle a task, tidying up a space, or simply keeping things moving along. If you like a home where there’s structure behind the scenes but a laid-back, flexible energy day to day, you’ll feel right at home here.\nWho You Are / What We’re Looking For\nYou’re organized, proactive, and detail-oriented, with a natural ability to anticipate what needs to happen next-without waiting to be asked. You take pride in maintaining clean, orderly spaces and enjoy creating and maintaining systems that make our home feel calm and functional. You’re a strong problem-solver who can work independently, make thoughtful decisions, and stay one step ahead of the week’s needs (school schedules, activities, meals, supplies, and everything in between). You’re also comfortable with technology-especially family calendars and basic organizational tools-so staying aligned and communicating clearly feels easy.\nYou bring positive energy, communicate openly, and understand how much the small details matter in a home-whether that’s prepping simple meals, planning ahead for the week, or noticing we’re running low on essentials before it becomes a scramble. Most importantly, you care about your work the way we care about our home. You take ownership, build genuine rapport with our family, and help our household feel supported, steady, and well cared for.\nKey Responsibilities\nHousehold Management & Organization\nCreate and maintain household organization systems\nDaily resets and prep the home for cleaners (bi-weekly)\nLight tidying (dishes, surfaces, vacuum high-traffic areas)\nSeasonal clothing swaps as needed\nEvent, holiday, and guest prep\nPacking and unpacking for family travel\nFamily Support & Child Assistance\nAfter-school pickups and drop-offs to activities\nLight supervision and backup childcare (as needed)\nPrepare backpacks, clothing, and snacks for school\nHandle kid-related errands (spirit day items, school supplies, etc.)\nOccasional date-night coverage\nMeal Planning & Prep\nPrepare 3 dinners per week (flexible approach: some fully cooked meals, some prepped ingredients)\nPrepare school lunches 2-3 times per week\nFollow family dietary restrictions and preferences\nGrocery shopping\nWash and prep foods for snacks\nKitchen cleanup and maintenance\nInventory & Errands\nRestock pantry/fridge/household supplies\nManage running household supply lists\nManage household orders and subscriptions (Amazon/Costco/Target/etc.)\nReturns, dry cleaning, gift shopping\nMail and package handling\nBreakdown boxes\nDeep Cleaning & Special Projects\nOccasional deep cleans (fridge, oven, baseboards)\nRefresh garage/mudroom/entryway\nClean humidifiers/air purifiers - in kids rooms\nOrganizational projects (toys, gear, pantry, closets, etc.)\nLaundry & Linen Care\nWash, fold, and organize family laundry\nWeekly linen rotation\nOccasional ironing and steaming for special garments\nMaintain tidy and well-stocked laundry area\nAdministrative & Personal Assistant Support\nContribute to and maintain awareness of Skylight family calendar\nInput sports schedules, activity schedules, etc.\nTrack receipts and expenses incurred in the role\nOccasionally assist with event coordination (birthday parties, hosting, etc.)\nPet Care\nMaintaining the puppy's daily schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and walks as needed.\nArranging and transporting the puppy for grooming as needed.\nManaging inventory of pet-related supplies.\nCoordinating with pet sitters, dog walkers, or other pet care providers as needed.\nVehicle Management\nOccasionally fuel, clean, and organize family vehicle\nVendor & Property Oversight\nOccasional seasonal & outdoor maintenance\nHow to Apply\nPlease submit a short introduction letter explaining why you'd be a great fit for this role, your updated resume, and contact information for three professional references.
