Schedule: Monday–Friday during the school year, with core availability from approximately 2:00–5:00 PM. Tuesdays require availability until approximately 6:30 PM.

We are an active family of four based in West Newton with two teenage daughters and a small, friendly Cavapoochon. Both parents have demanding professional careers that include frequent travel, and our daughters maintain full school and extracurricular schedules, particularly dance, where they spend most of their weekly free time training across multiple styles.
Our family embraces the New England seasons. During the school year, life revolves around school, dance, work, travel, and keeping everyone moving in the right direction. Weekends and holidays often take us to Vermont or the North Shore, while much of the summer is spent on the North Shore and traveling.
We're looking for someone who can become a reliable part of our family team and take ownership of the day-to-day details that create unnecessary mental noise. As our daughters are increasingly independent, the role is centered around transportation for our family activities, household management, meal support, errands, organization, and keeping family logistics moving smoothly.
We currently have professional cleaning weekly, so we're not looking for a housekeeper. Instead, we need someone who can see the bigger picture, keep the household moving forward between cleanings, and confidently own the afternoon rhythm.
Ultimately, success to us means trust and longevity: knowing the girls are where they need to be, the dog is cared for, food is ready, household details are handled, and we don't have to think twice about whether something has been taken care of. We are seeking a long term partner to be a supportive arm to our family.
You are the kind of person a busy family can truly rely on — capable, grounded, proactive, and comfortable taking ownership. You can walk into the home, look at the day ahead, identify what matters most, and get moving without waiting for a list of instructions. There may always be a backlog of things that could get done; you have the judgment to prioritize what will make the biggest difference that day.
You understand the rhythm of a high-functioning family with demanding careers, frequent travel, two busy teenagers, and a full calendar. You can keep up with the details without adding more mental load for the parents. You're flexible when plans shift, communicate when something needs attention, and know when to take initiative versus when to check in. You can read the room, work independently, and become an extra set of trusted eyes and ears for the household.
With the girls, you're warm, approachable, and supportive, but you also have a backbone. You aren't there to do everything for them or become an on-demand assistant. You can hold healthy boundaries, reinforce the parents' expectations, and help the girls become increasingly responsible for their own schedules, belongings, and commitments. High emotional intelligence and the ability to connect while still fostering independence will go a long way in this home.
A healthy, active lifestyle is also a natural fit. You enjoy fresh, whole foods and are comfortable preparing nourishing snacks and simple family meals. You appreciate a family culture centered around wellness, activity, positive relationships, and creating healthy habits at home.
Above all, you're looking for a role where you can become a genuine lifeline to a family — someone they trust to show up, follow through, and make everyday life noticeably easier.
Please submit a brief introduction telling us about yourself and why this opportunity feels like a great fit, along with your updated resume and three professional references with current contact information.
Please note that finalists will be required to complete a background check as part of the hiring process.
