Description:
Role Overview:
We are a busy, dual-career family seeking a highly organized and proactive Household Manager / Family Assistant to anchor our home. Our primary goal is to maximize quality time with our children. By partnering with a dependable professional who can seamlessly manage day-to-day logistics behind the scenes, we can transition from the workday to family time without the stress of competing chores.
A love of cooking and the ability to plan and prepare meals that the whole family — kids included — will enjoy is essential to success in this role. This role works alongside an existing household team, so a collaborative approach is a must. If you genuinely love cooking nourishing and delicious food, creating orderly systems, helping a household thrive, and operating with a high level of autonomy, we would love to meet you.
Primary Responsibilities:
Cooking & Meal Prep:
Since you won’t be with us daily, batch cooking is important. The kids food is just as central to this role as cooking for the family — we encourage our children to eat what we eat, and we love a good leftover.
- Family Dinners: Prepare 2–3 family dinners per week that everyone at the table will enjoy.
- Family Lunches: Prepare 1–2 family lunches to have on hand during the week.
- Kids' Snacks: Keep the kids stocked with wholesome, approachable snacks throughout the week.
- Meal Planning: Coordinate weekly meal planning with the family, but take ownership of it and sending over a grocery list.
- Kitchen Upkeep: Keep the kitchen tidy as you go throughout the day.
- Family Laundry: Manage the full laundry cycle — washing, drying, folding, and putting away.
- Bedding: Change bed sheets/duvets on a regular rotation.
Household Organization & Light Housekeeping:
With two young kids, things can spiral fast — toys migrate, drawers stop closing, and surfaces disappear. We need someone with a genuine eye for order who can stay ahead of the chaos proactively, not just reactively.
- Kids' Spaces: Keep children's rooms, closets, and dressers consistently tidy, organized, and functional.
- Systems Maintenance: Create and maintain organizational systems so things have a place — and actually get back to it.
- Toy Rotation: Rotate and organize kids' toys so spaces stay manageable.
- Common Areas: Tidy shared living spaces between our weekly deep clean.
- Seasonal Transitions: Manage wardrobe rotations as the kids grow.
Light Routine Maintenance:
- Appliances: Clean the dishwasher filter, laundry machine seals and dispensers, and wipe down the inside of the fridge on a regular cadence.
- Kid Gear: Maintain car seats (straps, buckles, trays, removable inserts), wipe down strollers, and spot-clean toys and play equipment as needed.
What Success Looks Like in Our Home:
The ideal candidate will take ownership of the household's rhythm without needing to be asked. You will know you are thriving in this role when:
- Meals are planned and prepped so weeknight evenings feel manageable rather than chaotic.
- The kids have food and snacks ready to go throughout the week.
- Laundry is consistently done and put away.
- Main living spaces and kids' spaces feel calm and organized, even with two toddlers doing their best to undo all of it.
- We can be fully present with our children without mentally running through a to-do list.
Requirements & Qualifications:
Experience: Proven background in professional household management, executive family assisting, or high-level nanny roles.
Cooking: A genuine enjoyment of cooking and comfort preparing a variety of cuisines — this is the heart of the role. Comfortable cooking for young children and invested in making food they'll actually eat. No formal culinary training required, but real cooking ability is a must.
Organization: Genuinely organized — not just tidy, but someone who naturally creates systems and maintains them over time.
Mindset: Highly proactive and self-directed with a natural "see a need, fill a need" work ethic; comfortable spotting disorder before it snowballs and taking ownership without being micromanaged.
Skills: Strong multitasking abilities with the intuition to learn and anticipate a household's natural daily rhythm.
Reliability: Trustworthy and dependable. Must possess a reliable vehicle and a clean background check

A Note From Us:
We're a family that genuinely loves good food, a tidy home, and being present with our kids — and right now, we're stretched too thin to do all three well. We're not looking for someone to execute a checklist. We're looking for someone who takes quiet pride in a well-stocked fridge, a dinner the kids actually ask for seconds of, and a playroom that somehow stays functional. If that kind of work genuinely lights you up, we think you'll love it here.
Compensation: $28.00 per hour
