Student Jobs

Flexible - we will determine with you. 

Busy household, good people, busy baby, cute dog— we need a trusted extra set of hands 2–4 flexible hours/week to help keep things orderly and occasionally tackle a bigger reset project. We’re organized-aspiring, appreciative, and hoping to find someone who enjoys making life easier for a hardworking family.

This is not a traditional housekeeping job and not a childcare role.
Instead, it’s a flexible household support position focused on maintaining order, completing small projects, and tackling deeper reset tasks when needed.

We’re hoping to find someone who enjoys creating pretty, functional spaces and helping a busy household stay manageable.

Schedule

• 2–4 hours per week

• Flexible weekday daytime hours

• Located near UW-Madison campus

• Long-term preferred

What the Work Looks Like

We’ll collaborate each week to choose priorities depending on what would help most.

Organization & home systems

• Resetting high-use areas (kitchen, entryway, toy zones, closets)

• Rotating baby clothes and storing outgrown items

• Pantry/fridge organization and simple upkeep

• Managing donation items or returns piles

• Light household admin or sorting tasks

Household upkeep

• Laundry folding and putting away

• Changing bed linens

• Loading/unloading dishwasher

• Surface resets (counters, tables, high-traffic areas)

• Potentially some outdoor light yardwork tasks as Spring comes

Occasional deeper reset tasks
Some weeks we may use the time for a larger catch-up task, such as:

• Cleaning out a refrigerator or cabinet

• Organizing a closet

• Wiping shelves/drawers before reorganizing

• Tackling a neglected area that needs a one-time refresh

(We do not expect heavy scrubbing every week — the goal is keeping the home functional and preventing overwhelm.)

About You

• Detail-oriented and reliable

• Comfortable working in a home (usually we would not be home and baby would be at daycare)

• Comfortable around a small (old) French Bulldog

• Enjoy organizing and maintaining systems

• Self-directed but collaborative

Helpful but not required:

• Experience in organizing, household management, or similar roles

• Someone with flexible daytime availability
