About The Position

The House Manager & Family Assistant supports a family of five in Cypress, Texas, with meal preparation, child transportation, household management, errands, and administrative assistance. This is a part-time role for 15–20 hours per week, generally Monday through Thursday. The schedule includes one 4–5-hour half day for weekly meal preparation, typically Monday or Tuesday, and two afternoon shifts for school and daycare pickups and sports transportation, typically 2:00–6:00 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday. Remaining hours are used for household responsibilities, including time before pickups on sports days. Meal preparation is a central responsibility. The family requires all meals prepared in the home to be 100% gluten-free because all three children have celiac disease. The family will provide recipes and information about its food-handling requirements. The role includes preparing approximately four family dinners and three weekday lunches for adults each week, managing online grocery orders and curbside pickup, and maintaining the kitchen and food supplies. Other duties include transporting children to activities, maintaining household routines and organization, laundry and linens, household and business-hours errands, occasional pet care, calendar and appointment coordination, travel planning, vendor research, and occasional deep cleaning and organizational projects. The family values initiative, sound judgment, reliable follow-through, clear communication, and a warm, consistent approach with children. The position requires a background check.
