About The Position

We are a busy and quietly intentional household in the north metro of the Twin Cities seeking a Part-Time House Manager / Family Assistant. Both adults work demanding careers outside the home, with schedules that can shift unexpectedly. We have two young children at home, including a toddler and a newborn. We value honesty, reliability, and kindness above everything else. Our household is calm and low-key. We have a weekly cleaner and a nanny focused on infant care, and we are looking for someone to fill in the operational gaps that make the biggest difference in our day-to-day. We are health-conscious and environmentally mindful. The right person will step into a household that already has good bones and help us maintain and grow the systems we have in place.
