Household Manager and Family Assistant
About The Position
We are a warm, welcoming family led by two physicians with demanding careers and a deep commitment to both our work and our family. Our home is active and full of life, as we regularly balance busy professional schedules, frequent travel, and time spent with our five college age children. We also share our home with three beloved dogs who bring plenty of personality and an abundance of energy into the mix, and are truly cherished members of the family. While life moves at a fast pace, home is where we reconnect, recharge, and enjoy quality time together. We're seeking an experienced House Manager who can bring thoughtful organization, consistency, and proactive oversight to our household. We're looking for someone who can create the daily rhythm that keeps everything running seamlessly. Coming home after a long day—or returning from travel—to a home that feels organized, welcoming, and beautifully cared for would make a tremendous difference in our lives. This role is about much more than checking off a to-do list; it's about anticipating needs, creating reliable systems, and providing the kind of behind-the-scenes support that allows our family to focus on the moments that matter most. We value initiative, professionalism, and a genuine sense of ownership, and we're looking forward to building a long-term partnership with someone who takes pride in creating a calm, well-managed home where our family can simply enjoy being together.
