His mother was called Hatnofer and her name was only accompanied of the title "Lady of the house".

All evidences indicate that Thutmosis II named to Sen-en-Mut: "Administrative of the goods of the queen Hatshepsut"; "Administrative of the goods of the princess Neferu Ra".

Once he had reached its career in palace, he began to acquire additional responsibilities and more titles: Chief, Supervisor, Supervisor of Supervisors of all the works of the King; Superintendent of the Treasure; Superintendent of the Guns; Superintendent of the Castle of the Red Crown; Governor of the Royal Palace; Superintendent of the Private Rooms, etc...
