Part-Time House Manager & Family Assistant (with Meal Support)
About The Position
We are a busy, warm, and active family of five with three children (ages 4, 6, and 9) and two gentle, older dogs. We are looking for a Part-Time House Manager & Family Assistant to help bring more ease to our household. This role involves thoughtful meal planning and preparation, keeping things organized and stocked, and helping the home run smoothly behind the scenes. We already have a regular house cleaner and part-time afternoon babysitter, but we’re looking for someone who can think a few steps ahead, notice what needs attention, and become a trusted partner within our family’s natural rhythms. The ideal candidate will bring warmth, initiative, and a genuine love for family life. This is a household that will take great care of the right person, and we’re excited to welcome someone who takes pride in their work and is looking for a long-term role where they can truly become part of our home.
