'm looking for a highly capable, organized, trustworthy person to help me keep a busy household and family running smoothly.
This is not primarily a nanny position and not simply a housecleaning job. Think of it more as a combination of household manager, family assistant, and personal assistant.
I have three school-aged kids, and I'm looking for another competent adult who enjoys creating order, noticing what needs attention, and making life easier for a busy family.
Responsibilities will include a mix of:
- Weekly cleaning and household reset
- Grocery shopping, household inventory, and errands
- Meal planning and light meal prep
- Keeping our family calendar organized and current
- Tracking school events, sports, appointments, forms, and deadlines
- Scheduling appointments and handling occasional family administrative tasks
- Researching activities, camps, enrichment opportunities, mentors, services, etc.
- Helping organize household projects and coordinate outside service providers when needed
- Occasional transportation or supervision of middle- and high-school-aged kids
My kids have their own chores, so I'm not looking for someone to pick up after them all day. When interacting with them, I'm looking for responsible adult oversight and engagement rather than traditional full-time childcare.
The person who will thrive in this role is someone who naturally thinks:
“I noticed this needs to be handled, so I handled it.”
You should be dependable, organized, resourceful, comfortable with technology and shared calendars, good with older kids, willing to clean and run errands, and able to work independently without needing a detailed assignment every hour.
A background as a household manager, family assistant, executive/personal assistant, office manager, nanny, professional organizer, or experienced household manager would all translate well—but I'm more interested in judgment, initiative, reliability, and fit than a particular resume.
Requirements
- Valid driver's license and reliable vehicle
- Current auto insurance
- Ability to pass a background check
- Strong references
- Comfortable around pets
- Comfortable performing household cleaning and normal physical household tasks
Schedule: Approximately 8–10 hours/week to start, with some flexibility. Ideally, this would include one longer household-management day plus a shorter family-admin/support block.
There may occasionally be additional paid hours for projects, evening coverage, travel support, or potentially work with another local household if the person is interested in more hours.
Pay: $20–$30/hour depending on experience.
If this sounds like the kind of role you'd genuinely enjoy, please send me a short introduction that tells me:
- Why this particular kind of role interests you.
- Any experience you have that would make you good at it.
- Your general weekly availability.
- Your desired hourly rate.
- One example of something you've taken ownership of without needing someone else to manage you through it.
A traditional resume is welcome but not required for the initial conversation.
Pay: $20.00 - $30.00 per hour
Work Location: In person
