We are a dynamic, busy family of four, consisting of two parents and two sons, aged eight and one. Our lives are centered around our entrepreneurial spirit, as we own and operate multiple businesses. This keeps us on the move, often balancing time between work, family, and a full calendar of events, including business functions, corporate gatherings, and charity galas.
At home, we maintain a warm and inviting space where we prioritize efficiency and family connection, even amidst our hectic schedules. While we both work from home and travel frequently, we recognize the importance of structure, organization, and a serene atmosphere to support our day-to-day lives. Our family values are deeply rooted in our culture, and we seek to infuse that into our home life, creating an environment of warmth, tradition, and respect.
Our youngest son is cared for by a dedicated full-time nanny during the weekdays, and the Executive Assistant will not be responsible for primary childcare. However, light childcare assistance may occasionally be required for both children, particularly in the evenings or while the parents are occupied with work or business commitments. We value a candidate who is naturally warm and comfortable around children, as they will be an integral part of the family's daily routine.
We are looking for someone whose focus will be day-to-day management, organization, and family coordination. We are currently building a new home, and as we move into this new space, the Executive Assistant will play a pivotal role in organizing, setting up, and ensuring everything is in place to make the transition as smooth and seamless as possible.
The ideal candidate will possess an eye for detail and personal style and have experience managing a large household with multiple moving parts. Whether it's managing schedules, overseeing vendors, or handling logistics for events, you will be at the heart of maintaining order in what can feel like a whirlwind of activities. Above all, we are seeking someone who will become an essential part of our team — someone who is organized, adaptable, and able to anticipate our needs, both professionally and personally.

Proactive and capable of anticipating the family's needs before they arise
