House Manager & Family Assistant
About The Position
We are a warm and close-knit family with four young children (ages 8, 6, 3, and 3 months). Our family values connection, intentional time spent together, and a sense of calm amidst our busy lives. Our household is full of energy and love. With so many moving pieces, including doctor's appointments, school activities, extracurriculars, and maintaining our property, each day brings something new. We are looking for someone who can help organize and support the logistics of our daily life. The role will involve both household management and support with childcare, requiring flexibility to handle the demands of each. You will support our children with school pick-ups as needed, light supervision, and playtime, as well as manage household operations, including vendor coordination, scheduling, and keeping everything running smoothly at home. We have some regular household staff, including a chef who prepares meals twice a week and a cleaning service that helps with laundry and cleaning. But we need someone who can tie everything together – someone who can manage the household, supervise vendors, and coordinate schedules, allowing us to focus on spending quality time together as a family. Our values are important to us, and we believe in maintaining a respectful and professional relationship with the person who helps us manage our home. Our goal is to work with someone who is reliable, communicative, and who can bring a sense of calm and organization to our home, enabling us to enjoy the moments that matter most.
