Location: Mill Valley, CA 94941
Employment Type: Full-time, 40 hours per week
Schedule: Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM. Occasional evenings, weekends, or overnights as needed.
Compensation: $43-48/hour, based on experience. Mileage reimbursed for on-the-job errands.
Start Date: ASAP
We are an active, outgoing family of four (soon to be five!) based in Mill Valley. Life with our kids is full of movement, laughter, outdoor adventures, activities, and creative play. Our children are spirited, affectionate, and fun-loving, and quality time together matters deeply to us. One parent works in a full-time, high-pressure role with occasional travel, and the other will be transitioning to full-time home care as we welcome our new baby. We are looking for more breathing room in the rhythm of our days: less scramble, more connection, and a calmer foundation for time together. We already have trusted vendors in place, including cleaners, landscapers, and other service providers. This role is about partnering with us long-term to coordinate those relationships, anticipate what needs attention, and keep daily operations moving with care and consistency. The right person will help create the structure that allows our family to be more present with one another, especially with our children.
You are energetic, warm, and genuinely love being around kids, with the judgment and emotional intelligence to integrate smoothly into a high-energy family environment. You walk into a space and immediately see what needs attention, taking initiative before anyone has to ask. You are self-directed, proactive, and detail-oriented — someone who anticipates needs, builds and improves systems, and takes pride in keeping a household running smoothly behind the scenes.
You are comfortable overseeing daily tasks independently while maintaining a calm, organized presence. You can read the room, step in when necessary, and handle responsibilities with steady energy, always keeping each family member’s needs in mind. You bring a grounded, personable presence and strong social awareness, knowing when to connect and when to keep the day moving. You communicate with clarity, confidence, and professionalism, offering concise updates and then moving seamlessly into execution.
You bring creativity and enthusiasm to time spent with children — whether suggesting an age-appropriate outing, keeping up with a high-energy eight-year-old, or making an afternoon feel intentional rather than improvised. You love kids for being kids and embrace the chaos, fun, and imagination that come from their worlds. You are experienced at integrating into a family rhythm without needing a lot of hand-holding — if anything, you come with tools and systems to create ease and efficiency. Both children are bilingual in Spanish, so Spanish fluency is required.
To be considered, please submit a short intro letter telling us a bit about yourself and why this role is a great fit, an updated resume, and 3 professional references with contact information. Please note: this role requires a background check.
