House Manager & Family Assistant
About The Position
We are a warm, active family with three children ages 5, 7, and 9, looking for a reliable partner who can help bring more ease, organization, and breathing room to our weekly routines. Starting this fall, all three children will be attending the same elementary school, while our afternoons and evenings will be filled with a variety of activities, including year-round competitive swimming, gymnastics, soccer, and flag football. One parent works primarily from home but will begin spending 2–3 days per week in the office this fall, while the other works outside the home full-time. As our family calendar becomes increasingly full and our professional responsibilities continue to grow, we are seeking someone who can step in during the busiest parts of our week and help keep both the household and after-school hours running smoothly. Our goal is simple: spend less time managing logistics and more time enjoying family life. We hope to spend more time exploring local museums, enjoying the outdoors, going on bike rides, and creating meaningful family memories, rather than feeling consumed by household tasks and the constant rush between activities. We value kindness, gratitude, teamwork, and open communication, and we appreciate people who take initiative and genuinely enjoy helping families thrive.
