About The Home / Work Environment :

I'm a busy executive who works in a fast-paced environment and travels frequently for work. When home, my days are jam packed with most days being in back to back meetings. At home, I share my life with my beloved, 75 lb English Lab. I deeply value work-life balance along with empathetic, kind interactions in my household. I'm looking for someone who can help manage the daily responsibilities, provide pet care for my well-trained dog, assist with light meal prep, and offer general household support with both efficiency and reliability to ensure the household runs seamlessly.

This role is ideal for someone who is comfortable around large dogs, tech-savvy, and appreciates clear communication. I need someone who is proactive, dependable and doesn't miss a detail who can strike a balance between organization and flexibility, helping keep things running smoothly while also respecting personal space and time.

  • Assist with occasional grocery shopping and meal-related items
  • Follow dietary needs and preferences (balanced meals with protein, grains, vegetables, etc.)
  • Maintain kitchen cleanliness and tidiness.
  • Laundry & Linen Care

  • Wash, dry, fold, and organize laundry (clothing, bedding, towels)
  • Iron, steam, and prepare outfits as needed
