For Your Family

A Place In Your Home

The Atelier is an invitation. Let’s show your family. Let’s discover what you need to help your family thrive.

Answer in your own words. Skip any of them. However you would say it out loud is exactly right.

1 of 7

What is hard right now?

The true answer rather than the tidy one. Bedtime, homework, mornings, the drive, the quiet one who has gone quiet.

2 of 7

What happens between three and six?

Walk us through it. That hour tells us more than a list of duties ever could.

3 of 7

What would you love handed back to you?

An evening. A Friday. A morning that stops being a race.

4 of 7

What would make your children light up?

Somebody who bakes. Somebody who plays. Somebody who listens properly.

5 of 7

When would you want her?

Days, hours, or just a feeling of it. All of it stays open.

6 of 7

What kind of person fits your house?

Calm, or noisy and warm, or somewhere between. Every Mima is her own woman, and one of them is yours.

And where are you?

Your suburb and postcode, so we know where to look.

What should she know about your children before she meets them?

What it would take her a month to work out on her own. What they love, what they find hard, who is shy and who is not.

2 of 7 · Your Understanding

What matters to you in how they are looked after?

Manners, screens, the tone of a house, how a hard moment gets handled. However you would say it out loud.

3 of 7 · Your Understanding

What would you love her to take off your hands?

The hours, the shape of it, and where you would like it to stop. Saying the edges kindly and clearly is the whole point of this.

4 of 7 · Your Understanding

What kind of family are you?

Whatever you would want somebody in your home to understand without having to ask for it.

5 of 7 · Your Understanding

What makes your house laugh?

The silly ones count most. Somebody new should know them on the first day.

6 of 7 · Your Understanding

If something went wrong, how would you want to be told?

You are going to get this wrong sometimes and so is she. Deciding it now, while everybody is calm, is the kindest thing on this page.

What would a really good week look like, with her in it?

Say it as though it had already happened.

That is all of it.

Your words are kept exactly as you wrote them. They arrive with a family exactly as you set them down.
