We're Julia and Brielle : a mother–daughter duo who do our best to move through life with joy, kindness, and curiosity. Our home is warm, playful, and intentionally gentle.

Brielle is a spirited, sensitive, deeply caring 3-year-old who loves to dance, go to story time, play with her beloved "hoppies," and explore anywhere life takes her. She's soft, affectionate, expressive, and wise beyond her years. She is the kind of child who brings light and sweetness into every room.

Julia is a single working mom who values harmony, clear communication, and a home environment that feels calm and grounded. Because of her full schedule, she's looking for live-in help from someone who is self-motivated, dependable, and comfortable taking initiative without needing constant direction.
