House Manager & Family Assistant
About The Position
We are a busy family with two kids, a 9-year-old and a 6-year-old, both of whom are active in piano, dance, and other activities. They currently attend different schools but will be together at the same school starting next year. Our lifestyle is fast-paced, with both kids involved in various activities, and we strive to create more quality time for fun and connection. We are looking for someone who can help us make our home run smoothly while also focusing on providing healthier meals for the family. Our home requires consistent maintenance, especially being close to the ocean, and we take pride in keeping it clean and organized. Mom is actively involved in her kids' school, helping in the classroom each month. We value efficiency and want someone who can help us enjoy more time together as a family. We are seeking a proactive, organized, and reliable individual who has strong communication skills and a project management mindset. You should be able to manage multiple tasks independently and efficiently, with an eye for detail. This person will be self-directed, warm, and friendly, with a strong ability to anticipate needs without constant direction. You will thrive in a dynamic environment that values flexibility and adaptability, where you'll take on childcare responsibilities, manage school pick-ups and drop-offs, piano lessons, and provide backup care whenever needed. Additionally, you will help prep backpacks, clothing, or snacks for school. Experience with household management and maintenance is essential, and a background in safety and working with children is preferred.
