House Manager & Family Assistant

8d•$65,000 - $75,000•Onsite

About The Position

A family in Duluth, Georgia, is seeking a full-time House Manager & Family Assistant to manage household operations and provide occasional family support. The role is 35–40 hours per week, Monday through Friday, from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Occasional evening or weekend support may be requested with advance notice, with scheduling and additional hours discussed in advance. Compensation is $65,000–$75,000 per year, commensurate with experience. The start date is ASAP. The first few months will focus on an intensive household reset, including unpacking, organizing, and building systems. The role will then shift toward ongoing maintenance and broader responsibilities. The family already uses a cleaning crew twice monthly and has landscaping and pool vendors. This is a house management role, not a nanny position; childcare is limited to very occasional pickups, light supervision, and backup babysitting, with the possibility of more babysitting over time. No overnight stays are required when checking on the home during family travel. The successful candidate is self-motivated, organized, responsive, flexible when plans change, and comfortable managing vendors and household projects independently. The role includes household organization and daily resets, vendor oversight, meal planning and grocery shopping, light meal preparation, laundry, errands, vehicle care, calendar management, travel logistics, and event support. Reliable transportation is required, and mileage reimbursement is provided for use of a personal vehicle. CPR and First Aid certification is required or must be obtained before starting. The role requires navigating multiple flights of stairs throughout the day and maintaining a smoke-free environment and a fragrance-free presence in the home. Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States.
