About The Position

The House Manager & Family Assistant supports an active family in Duluth, Georgia, by managing household operations, organization, vendors, errands, meals, laundry, vehicles, and administrative needs. The position is full-time, 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; scheduling and additional hours will be discussed in advance.
