House Manager (Evening & Meal Prep Support)
About The Position
We are a warm, close-knit, health-conscious family seeking thoughtful, long-term support to help create more ease, consistency, and calm within our home and evening routines. We deeply value kindness, integrity, communication, and intentional living, and we are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys supporting others and helping a household run smoothly behind the scenes. Like many busy modern families, we are balancing full schedules, responsibilities, and the day-to-day demands of family life, and are admittedly feeling a bit overextended in this season. With two working parents and a lively 4 yr old son, our hope is to create more breathing room and ease in our daily lives with someone mature, dependable, and highly attuned who can step in as a calming, supportive presence and help bring organization, follow-through, and consistency into our week. We are looking for someone interested in building a long-term relationship with our family and becoming a trusted, supportive presence within our home. A grounded, reliable, and emotionally intelligent professional who genuinely enjoys supportive work and helping others feel organized, cared for, and at ease. You are proactive, detail-oriented, adaptable, and able to operate independently while remaining collaborative and coachable. This role is ideal for someone who respects the privacy and trust required within a family home and enjoys thoughtful support work: including meal prep, household organization, errands, light administrative tasks, and helping maintain smooth evening routines. You naturally bring a calm, capable, low-ego energy into the spaces you support and enjoy creating systems, anticipating needs, and helping busy households function more smoothly behind the scenes. Openness to occasional organization or administrative projects during the workweek is appreciated. A strong commitment to the evening schedule and routine is essential. We are seeking someone dependable, discreet, and able to operate quietly and independently while supporting the evening flow of the home — including kitchen resets, meal prep, organization, and light administrative support. This position is best suited for someone who genuinely loves creating ease for others, lives nearby, and is looking for a meaningful long-term part-time commitment with a family. Serious inquiries only from candidates able to consistently commit to the schedule and take ownership of their responsibilities with professionalism and care. You value consistency, communicate clearly, and are comfortable committing long term to supporting evening household rhythms and routines.
