Do you get an unreasonable amount of satisfaction from organizing a closet, creating systems that make life easier, crossing items off a to-do list, and leaving a room better than you found it?
We're a busy family looking for a dependable, detail-oriented Household Manager to help keep our household running smoothly. If you're the type of person who notices when a picture frame is crooked, enjoys creating order from chaos, and can balance perfectionism with practicality, we'd love to talk.
We're looking for someone who can become a trusted extra set of hands and eyes for our household—helping with organization, maintenance, projects, and the countless little things that keep a home functioning well.
Must be available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings.
Typical hours will be approximately 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM, with flexibility for occasional additional hours as projects arise.
Please do not apply if you cannot consistently work Mondays and Wednesdays.
Mom and Dad both travel frequently for work, so occasional schedule adjustments may be requested. Rare Sunday assistance may be needed during travel periods or special events.
