About Our Family

We are a warm and dynamic family of four living in Yorba Linda, CA. Both parents lead busy and demanding professional lives. Dad works away from home Monday through Friday, while Mom works from her nearby practice. We are a close-knit family with a deep respect for balance.

Our twin 12-year-old boys have distinct personalities that make them both unique and endearing. They enjoy a range of activities, from video games and golf to piano lessons. They are bright, independent, and transitioning into more responsibilities while still needing guidance and structure from a trusted adult figure.

With both parents working full-time, we often find it challenging to keep up with day-to-day tasks. One area where we feel the greatest need is in meal support. The mental load of dinner can be a challenge after a long day of work, so we are eager to have support in this area. We want someone who can help make that a reality by assisting with meal prep, grocery shopping, and kitchen organization. Our boys tend to be picky eaters, so their meals are fairly simple. For the adults, we occasionally use a meal service kit with easy-to-follow recipes. We're not looking for a five-star chef, but rather someone who enjoys being in the kitchen and is comfortable preparing home-cooked meals.

We appreciate order, cleanliness, and consistency, and we're seeking someone who can help us maintain that balance in a way that fits naturally into our family dynamic.

Who You Are

You are a stable, reliable, and detail-oriented individual who takes personal pride in creating a tidy, well-organized home. You are proactive and capable of anticipating needs, with a natural ability to take initiative. You understand how to set boundaries with kids while fostering a warm, respectful relationship. You have a solid grasp of all household tasks, with a high level of comfort in meal preparation, laundry, and daily upkeep of the home. We are looking for someone who truly enjoys being in the kitchen, can handle meal prep with ease, and you are comfortable following recipes. You are open to constructive feedback and thrive in a role where you can have a meaningful, positive impact on a family's daily life.

We are seeking a proactive, organized, and self-sufficient individual who values long-term relationships and is committed to becoming an integral part of our family. The ideal candidate will thrive in managing the home independently and will bring a genuine desire to contribute and grow with our family over time. We are intentional about finding the right fit for this lasting partnership.
