Butler / House Manager / PA

Mahler Private Staffing•Palm Springs, CA

About The Position

This Palm Springs household supports a principal who runs on momentum. The principal splits their year between the coasts, landing in the desert from late October through May, and they need someone who can step into that pace without missing a beat. The principal moves quickly, so the right person brings calm, clarity, and initiative, making the busy feel effortless. The schedule is flexible by design: full-time, 30 hours a week year-round, or 8 months a year, whatever structure works best for you. Open to candidates who want a second chapter in the Desert or would relocate. Your friends and family would describe you as sharp and quick on the uptake, naturally calm under pressure, and endlessly patient. You are very organized, an immaculate homemaker, love animals, low key, discreet, an excellent host, have taste, and bring a pitch-in, hands-on approach to life. Because the principal keeps a full and fast-moving schedule, you read a room quickly, anticipate what's needed, and stay steady no matter what the day brings.
