Part-Time House Manager & Family Assistant
About The Position
We are a warm, active family of four (soon to be five!). Our home is lively and full of energy, with two young children currently in preschool programs during the week and another little one arriving soon. We also love to travel when we can, especially during the summer months, and enjoy bringing the kids along for new experiences and adventures. One parent works full-time with a schedule that can occasionally includes evening and weekend commitments, while the other manages the day-to-day rhythm of the household. Our home runs best when things are organized, systems are in place, and everyone is working together to keep things moving smoothly. We value kindness, good communication, and a positive atmosphere. While life can feel busy and sometimes a bit chaotic, our home is always centered around family time, learning, and creating meaningful experiences together. As our family expands, we are hoping to find someone who can grow (and sometimes travel) with us — a trusted, positive presence who enjoys helping a household run smoothly while being part of a supportive family environment.
