About Our Family

We're a busy, active household based north of Atlanta — a working couple and a bright, independent teenager, living in a home that moves at a real pace. Life here is full: travel, commitments, projects, and the everyday rhythm of a household that runs on good systems, thoughtful coordination, and a team that takes pride in what they do.

We have existing support in place — a wonderful housekeeper who comes weekly, external landscapers and a pool team, and a dedicated assistant who handles the professional and logistical side of our lives — but we're looking for someone to be the heartbeat of the home itself. The person who keeps things running smoothly on the ground, who notices what needs attention before being asked, and who brings warmth and professionalism to every interaction.

We also have a second property in South Carolina, which has its own property manager, so coordination across both properties is occasionally part of the picture. And we're expecting a new four-legged family member before the end of the year — a Boston Terrier who will need some love and care worked into the routine.

This is an active, dynamic household. We travel, we host, we do big projects and small ones. We're looking for someone who is energized by variety, grounded in follow-through, and genuinely takes satisfaction in a home that feels organized, welcoming, and well cared for.

Who You Are / What We're Looking For

The right person for this role is someone who leads with professionalism — not rigidity, but a clear sense of self and standards. You understand that working inside someone's home is a privilege that comes with responsibility. You're warm, kind, and easy to be around, but you also read the room. You know when to engage and when to move quietly and efficiently through your work. You never have to be reminded to be discreet — that's simply who you are.

You think like a project manager. When given a task, you don't just complete it — you think it through. You consider the second-order implications. You ask the clarifying question upfront so you can deliver the right result the first time. You're the kind of person who, when asked to pick up apples, asks "Honeycrisp or Gala?" — not because you're over-thinking it, but because you care about doing it right.

You are proactive in the truest sense. You walk into a room and notice what's off. You spot the battery that needs changing, the supply that's running low, the errand that will be needed before anyone mentions it. You take initiative without overstepping, and you communicate clearly without being chatty. You are productive in a fast-paced environment — not because you rush, but because you're methodical and self-aware. You don't make mistakes from haste; you ask for clarity when you need it.

You hold yourself to a high personal standard, independent of whether anyone is watching. No task is beneath you and no challenge is too large.

You're also just a genuinely good person. Kind, civil, polite, and hospitable in the way that can't be trained — it's simply part of how you move through the world. Spanish language skills are a meaningful bonus, but not a requirement.
