About The Position

We are a busy, warm, and deeply connected household in Canton, Michigan, seeking a Part-Time House Manager with Meal Prep Support.

Our home is full of life with two young children, two cats, and a fast-paced rhythm. Our older child has high support needs and has a dedicated nanny. Our younger child attends daycare. A possible third child is anticipated, so this household is growing. We have put a lot of thought and love into our home and are committed to building a strong, well-run household.
