About Us
We are a vibrant, neurodiverse, homeschooling family with three amazing teenagers (ages 15 and 16) who are actively involved in enrichment programs and our family business. Our home is full of creativity, learning, and lots of LEGO bricks! We value community, kindness, and fun, and we’re looking for someone who shares those values. Our family has multiple intersections of diversity, and we welcome candidates who are culturally aware and affirming of diverse identities.
The most important thing to us is finding someone who is a great fit for our family and our kids. You must genuinely connect with neurodiverse teens, be patient, open-minded, and ready to build relationships. It is absolutely nonnegotiable that you must build rapport with our children. If genuine connection is not possible, we’ll all move on with gratitude and respect.

Energetic, compassionate, and genuinely enjoy working with neurodiverse teenagers
“Camp counselor energy”—upbeat, flexible, and ready to jump into new activities
Organized, proactive, and able to mentor or tutor teens with homework and life skills
Love LEGO, Marvel, and hands-on activities; not afraid to get a little messy in the garden or around water activities
Willing to take on the “unpaid labor of motherhood”—the household logistics, emotional labor, and invisible work that keeps a family thriving—for pay, so that mom can focus on mothering and show up as her best self for the children

How to Apply
We are looking for someone who can be a right-hand partner in our family’s day-to-day life—helping our teens build independence, managing the logistics of a busy household, and bringing warmth and understanding to our neurodiverse, multicultural family.
