Household Manager – with Laundry & Organizational Support
About The Position
We are a lively family of six, with two young children and two teenagers who visit every other week. Our home is always buzzing with activity, balancing school runs, work commitments, and the many daily tasks that keep everything running smoothly. In the midst of our busy schedules, we strive to create a calm, organized space where everyone can thrive. We’re looking for someone who can seamlessly step in and help us manage both the everyday tasks and special needs that arise—whether it’s handling laundry, prepping snacks, organizing the kids' toys, or running errands. A big part of what we’re looking for is someone who can anticipate what’s needed and keep our home feeling welcoming and in order. We truly value reliability, a positive attitude, and professionalism, and we appreciate those who approach the work with care and attention, helping our family feel supported and at ease. The ideal candidate is a thoughtful, detail-oriented individual who takes genuine pride in making a home run smoothly. They have a natural ability to tune into the family’s needs and preferences, caring for their space with the same attention and respect they would. From organizing toys and folding laundry to maintaining an inviting, well-curated home, they understand the little details that make a big difference. An eye for design helps create a home that feels not only functional but also welcoming and harmonious. This role requires a background check.
