About Our Family:

We are a busy, loving family of three living in Evansville, IN, led by one parent and powered by the energy of two young kids. Our daughter (7) and son (4) keep the house lively and full of fun. The youngest has food allergies and is on a treatment protocol. Allergy safe meal prep and managing scheduled allergy exposures have become a significant part of our daily routine.

As a family, we are looking for a trusted partner who can support us with daily tasks—specifically meal prep and managing the allergy exposure regimen—so that we can focus more on spending intentional (and fun!) time together as a family. While we've been managing things on our own, we are looking for someone who can bring a steady, organized presence to help us navigate the morning chaos and assist with household responsibilities.

Who You Are / What We're Looking For:

You are an organized, proactive, and warm individual who thrives in a dynamic environment. You understand the importance of maintaining a safe home for a child with food allergies and are capable of learning and following the necessary protocols to ensure his safety. You are also able to assess situations and know when to step in to help mom with the kids without being asked, and when to focus on household tasks to keep things running smoothly.

We value someone who:

• Takes food allergies seriously and is willing to learn the specific protocols for our son's treatment plan.
• Is detail-oriented and capable of handling daily prep for a food allergy treatment program.
• Has a warm, friendly demeanor, and is able to engage with the kids and help create a positive environment while keeping things running smoothly.
• Is calm under pressure and capable of handling chaotic mornings with a mix of kids' needs and food management.
• Can work independently, maintaining a system for managing groceries, food prep, laundry, and general household tidiness.
• Has a proactive mindset, willing to pitch in wherever necessary, whether that's in meal planning, childcare, or organizing daily tasks.
• Highly reliable—we are looking for someone who is consistent and dependable.

If this sounds like you, we would love for you to apply!
