We have two teens and two much-loved pets, and we spend a lot of time on the water and traveling, so our weeks can shift from relaxed routines at home to quick, well-orchestrated departures and returns. We value clear communication, curiosity, and kindness, and we aim to create a home where everyone feels respected, comfortable, and free to be themselves. We are looking for someone who can support the systems we have in place, help our home run smoothly when we are here, and provide thoughtful, attentive care for our pets when we are away.
