Part-Time Household Manager
North Tampa / Carrollwood area
Approximately 10–15 hours per week, with 10 guaranteed hours
$30–$35/hour depending on experience
Long-term position
About Us
We are a busy and active middle-aged empty-nest couple with a large primary residence, a smaller secondary home, and multiple rental properties in the Tampa Bay area. We love to travel and have two cats.
We are looking for a highly dependable, organized and proactive Part-Time Household Manager to help keep our household and properties running smoothly and take many of the small but time-consuming details of managing them off our plates.
We already have a weekly housekeeper, so this is not primarily a cleaning position. Instead, we're looking for someone who can take ownership of household projects, maintenance, logistics and occasional personal-assistant needs.
Responsibilities May Include
- Coordinating household repairs and maintenance
- Researching vendors, obtaining quotes and presenting options
- Scheduling contractors and meeting them at our home or other properties
- Following up with landscapers, maintenance companies and other vendors to ensure work is completed properly
- Handling minor household maintenance such as changing light bulbs, HVAC filters and batteries
- Organizing closets, cabinets, storage areas and other household spaces
- Periodic household projects such as emptying and deep-cleaning the refrigerator
- Light housekeeping and household support when needed, such as helping straighten and prepare the house before guests or a party, wiping down outdoor furniture, or handling other small cleaning tasks
- Running occasional household errands
- Proactively noticing household or maintenance issues that need attention and helping resolve them
- Occasionally coordinating projects at our secondary home or rental properties
- Helping with travel logistics and pre-trip preparations
- Occasional airport drop-offs or pickups
- Checking on our home and caring for our two cats while we travel; travel weeks may occasionally require brief Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday visits
- Providing occasional personal-assistant support, including helping coordinate personal projects, appointments, reservations, events and other logistics. For example, we have an upcoming wedding with a professional wedding coordinator, but there may be personal details and tasks where an extra set of capable hands would be helpful.
- Other household, property and personal projects as they arise
Schedule
This position will generally be approximately 10–15 hours per week, with 10 hours guaranteed each week.
We envision Tuesday as a regular anchor day, with the remaining hours scheduled flexibly based on household needs, vendor appointments and projects.
Weekday daytime availability is essential. This is not a position designed primarily as evening work around a full-time daytime job. Most communication and work will take place during weekday daytime hours.
Occasional Saturday home/cat check-ins may be needed while we are traveling.
Who We're Looking For
Someone who is:
- Extremely reliable and trustworthy
- Fluent in English and an excellent communicator
- Proactive and comfortable working independently
- Organized and detail-oriented
- Good at figuring out how to solve everyday household problems without requiring detailed instructions
- Comfortable communicating with contractors and service providers
- Able to research options, obtain quotes and follow projects through to completion
- Comfortable performing occasional light housekeeping and hands-on household tasks
- Someone who genuinely likes cats
- Comfortable using text, email, photos and basic online research
- In possession of reliable transportation and a valid driver's license
- Able to travel occasionally to other properties in the Tampa Bay area
- Available during weekday daytime hours
Previous experience in household management, personal assistance, property management or a similar role is helpful, but it is not required. We care more about finding someone with excellent judgment, initiative, reliability and the right personality fit.
Compensation
$30–$35/hour depending on experience, with 10 guaranteed paid hours per week and approximately 10–15 hours of work depending on household needs.
Additional hours may occasionally be available.
Mileage for work-related driving between properties and for household errands will be reimbursed. Normal commuting to and from our primary residence is not reimbursed.
To Apply
Please send us a brief introduction. We'd like to get a sense of who you are as a person as well as your work experience, so please answer each of the following:
- Imagine we tell you: “There's a tree at one of our rental properties that needs to come down. Can you take care of it?” Walk us through what you would do from that point until the issue was resolved.
- Tell us about a time you were given a household, work or personal project without detailed instructions and had to figure out how to get it done. What did you do?
- What does your normal weekday daytime availability look like?
- Are you comfortable with the occasional hands-on/light housekeeping tasks described above, in addition to household management and coordination?
- What do you typically do on a day when you have completely free time? Please be detailed and tell us your full day from waking up to end. We'd genuinely like to learn something about you from your answer-what you enjoy, how you spend your time and what interests you. Because this is a long-term position working closely with us in our homes, we're interested in finding someone who is a good fit for us personally as well as professionally.
Pay: $30.00 - $35.00 per hour
Work Location: In person
