Mothers Helper

Modern-Day Mary Poppins — Mother’s Helper

We’re looking for our Modern-Day Mary Poppins — an exceptional, experienced household professional who brings warmth, organization, initiative, and a genuine “get it done” energy to a busy family home.

We’re a warm, active family with a young child and a full schedule. We care deeply about creating a home that feels calm, organized, healthy, and reset, while making sure our family has more time to be present and enjoy one another.

Our afternoons are particularly busy — dinner, cleaning, laundry, dishes, and all the little things that somehow need to happen at once. We’re looking for someone who genuinely enjoys stepping into that chaos and making it feel effortless.

Who You Are

You are a household manager, family assistant, nanny, or similar professional who is calm, polished, highly organized, and exceptionally proactive.

You don’t need to be told every little thing that needs to be done. You notice.

The yogurt is running low.

The laundry needs switching.

The living room needs a reset.

The car seats need vacuuming.

The kids need dinner.

And instead of waiting for direction, you naturally prioritize, jump in, and make it happen.

You have excellent judgment and emotional intelligence. You can read the room and understand when to step in, when to step back, and what should take priority—especially in a home with a young child.

You are warm and engaging, love children, and take genuine pride in supporting a family. You’re comfortable working independently while parents are home and appreciate a calm, respectful household environment.

You’re also someone who loves organization and systems and gets satisfaction from making a home run beautifully.

Why This Role Is Special

This isn’t a position where we expect you to simply follow a checklist.

We’re looking for someone who can become an extension of our family’s support system — someone who sees what needs to happen, takes ownership, and helps create a home that feels peaceful and organized even when life is busy.

If you’re the kind of person who gets genuine satisfaction from making other people’s lives easier, loves children, thrives on organization, and can walk into a busy household and calmly think, “I’ve got this,” we’d love to hear from you.

We’re looking for our Mary Poppins.
