About The Position

We are an active family of three (four if you count our dog!) seeking a Household Manager to bring structure, support, and calm to our home. We value proactivity, reliability, and attention to detail, aiming to transfer household responsibilities so we can focus on careers and family time. We need someone who can proactively create a harmonious home environment, managing schedules, running errands, preparing meals, and assisting with laundry and organizing. Our 8.5-year-old daughter is busy with after-school sports, and weekends are spent outdoors. Grandma also helps a few days a week. We are looking for an organized, self-sufficient individual who takes initiative and thrives in a dynamic environment. The ideal candidate will be warm, approachable, reliable, and adaptable, comfortable working independently and as part of a team. Excellent communication skills are essential, along with the ability to manage competing priorities and take ownership of tasks. While detail-oriented, flexibility is also crucial. This role involves becoming a trusted member of our household, blending professionalism with warmth, and providing support for day-to-day tasks, child-related errands, meal prep, and travel packing. The ultimate goal is to free up our time to focus on personal and professional lives while ensuring the home runs smoothly and efficiently.
