About The Position

A busy Brooklyn couple is in search of a hands-on house manager to help with their daily life so they can focus on their work and enjoying life!

Manage vendors and ensure work is completed properly
Step in and handle tasks directly (like light tidying, simple maintenance, or errands) when it is more practical
