House Manager & Family Assistant (with Expertise in Gujarati Cuisine & Meal Prep)
About The Position
We are a multi-generational family of four, living with extended family and hosting frequent family gatherings (often 20–30 people). We have two boys—one in college and one in high school—and there are often multiple capable adults around the home at any given time. While there’s no shortage of people, daily life moves quickly and stays full. Things run best when there is someone who can quietly step in, notice what needs doing, and help keep everything running smoothly. With one parent working full-time and the other wanting more time to pursue her career and passions, we are seeking an efficient, proactive, and organized House Manager & Family Assistant who can blend seamlessly into the flow of a multi-generational household—supporting where needed, taking initiative without disrupting the rhythm, and helping get things done with care and precision. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a busy, dynamic environment and enjoys balancing household tasks with meal prep, coordination, and thoughtful support.
