Requirements
We are a warm, mindful, and hands-on family of three (one 10-month-old child), living in Palo Alto. Both parents work primarily from home and share childcare responsibilities. We are looking for someone to integrate into our rhythms and support the household with presence, reliability, and care.
Our home values calm energy, connection, and thoughtfulness. We are grounded, growth-minded people who value biological and responsive parenting, health, integrity, growth, honesty, excellence, and eco-consciousness. The right candidate will feel like a trusted partner - someone attuned, organized, and professional who can move at our family's pace, anticipate needs, and bring a sense of flow to the week. We also value someone who is familiar with or open to responsive caregiving approaches and who respects the family's routines and philosophy.
Who You Are / What We're Looking For
You are grounded, self-sufficient, highly organized, and emotionally intelligent - a thoughtful professional who takes initiative, delights in lightening others' mental load, and brings beauty and order into daily life. You're equally comfortable taking direction and executing independently, can move intentionally and attuned around an infant, and maintain a calm, capable presence in a dynamic home.
Our ideal candidate:
