House Manager and Family Assistant
About The Position
We are a warm, down-to-earth, dual-career family based in Shoreline, WA with two young children, ages 3.5 and 1.5. Mom and Dad both work full time with demanding schedules and occasional travel, and as our children transition into daycare and school, we are looking to create a more sustainable, well-supported flow for our home and family life. While our schedules are full, we deeply value connection, quality family time, and creating a home environment that feels calm, efficient, and thoughtfully cared for. We are seeking a proactive, grounded, and highly dependable House Manager who can help bring consistency, organization, and ease to the day-to-day, particularly during the busy after-school, afternoon, and evening hours. We’re hoping to find someone who genuinely enjoys supporting families and can step in as an extra set of hands: helping the home run smoothly, anticipating needs, supporting the children while parents are working, and creating efficient systems and flow throughout the household. The right person will help reduce mental load, keep things moving seamlessly behind the scenes, and allow our family to be more present and connected during evenings and weekends.
