We’re a blended family of four living in North Ballard, Seattle, withtwo working parents and two kids (10 & 12) who keep life full, fun, and wonderfully busy. We’ve been in our current home for about a year and a half and are still putting down roots, which means there is meaningful work to be done and thoughtful systems to build. We love our home and care deeply about how it looks, feels, and functions. Design, organization, and aesthetic sensibility are important to us, and we genuinely welcome someone who notices the details, brings ideas to the table, and can help us continue creating a home that feels intentional and well cared for.
Our household has a warm, open energy. We want our House Manager to feel genuinely at home here, we value kindness, humor, collaboration, and open communication, and we’re looking for someone who wants to build a real relationship with our family over time. With two dogs, a seasoned Husky-Aussie mix and a brand-new Cavapoo puppy still learning the ropes of crate training, there is plenty of personality, activity, and heart in our home.
Both parents work primarily from home, so our household is active throughout the day and the support we need is both real and consistent. With our kids with us most of the week, one of our biggest goals in adding this support is to create more presence and breathing room for our family — less time spent managing the endless details of the household and more time to be connected with each other.
Ultimately, we’re looking for someone who can grow and evolve with our family, both in what they take on today and in what the household may need in the future. We want to build a relationship with someone we can trust for the long term — someone who learns our rhythms, understands how our family works, brings ideas and solutions to the table, and gradually becomes an extension of our family rather than simply someone who works in our home.
We’re looking for someone who naturally takes ownership of a home and doesn’t need a to-do list handed to them to know what needs to happen. You’re proactive, observant, and self-directed — the kind of person who can walk into a busy household, take in the bigger picture, notice what needs attention, and simply get to work. You’re comfortable holding multiple moving pieces at once and have the judgment to prioritize what matters most without becoming overwhelmed when plans shift or something unexpected comes up.
You bring a calm, steady presence to the home along with genuine warmth and emotional intelligence. You’re naturally comfortable around children and pets and understand that being part of a family’s household requires both professionalism and relationship-building. You’re thoughtful about how you show up, grounded in your communication, and able to create a sense of ease even when the household is busy. You also have a strong eye for organization and design and appreciate the difference between a home that is simply functional and one that feels beautiful, intentional, and well cared for.
We’re looking for someone who communicates clearly and efficiently. You are naturally about to think through solutions and come prepared with ideas. You’re comfortable identifying decisions or potential roadblocks early, batching non-urgent questions, and keeping a shared project list or system that helps everyone stay aligned. You know when to take initiative independently and when something needs to be brought to the family, and you understand that good household support should create clarity rather than add more mental load.
Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who is excited to become a trusted extension of the family. As the children grow, schedules change, and household needs evolve, you’ll have the opportunity to grow your role alongside them and take on greater ownership as the relationship develops. If you take pride in a well-run household, genuinely enjoy making life easier for the people around you, and are looking for a family where you can build something meaningful over time, we’d love to get to know you.
