1. Daily & Direct Childcare
Active Engagement: Providing hands-on care, supervision, and engagement for three girls (ages 9, 8, and 3).

2. Comprehensive Housekeeping (The Entire Home)
Daily Maintenance: Tidying up living areas, making beds, collecting clutter, wiping surfaces, and keeping high-traffic areas orderly.
Deep Cleaning: Thorough cleaning of the entire home on a rotating schedule—scrubbing bathrooms, deep-cleaning the kitchen, washing windows, wiping baseboards, dusting light fixtures, and moving furniture to clean underneath.
Floor Care: Sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping of all floor surfaces (taking extra care with dirt tracked in from outdoor activities and pets).
3. Laundry
Managing the family’s full laundry cycle: washing, drying, folding and putting away clothes for a family of 5.
Routine washing and changing of bed linens, towels, etc.
4. Kitchen & Meal Support
Daily dishwashing, loading/unloading dishwasher, and hand-washing delicate items.

Who You Are
Experienced with Children: You genuinely love working with young kids and possess the patience, stamina, and creativity to keep three young girls engaged.

Physically Fit & Efficient: You can handle a full day of manual house care, lifting, bending, and keeping up with a fast-paced lifestyle.
Ideally Trained: Current First Aid & CPR Certification is strongly preferred (or a willingness to obtain it before starting).
Trustworthy & Discrete: You respect family privacy and hold high standards for safety and cleanliness.
Sustainability & Preservation Focus: You value eco-conscious living and enjoy tending to nature—whether that means helping maintain our extensive garden, assisting with seasonal food harvesting and preservation, or keeping the household running efficiently and mindfully.
