About the Role
This is a high-trust Household Manager role for a busy family with four children ages 1, 3, 6, and 8. The children are homeschooled and are in the house throughout the day. The role combines household operations, childcare support, daily checklists, laundry, resets, inventory, simple food preparation, car and diaper bag readiness, mail/packages, travel support, and careful communication inside a systems-based private household.
This is not a nanny-only role, a housekeeper-only role, or a role for someone who wants to direct how the family should operate. The right candidate must be genuinely comfortable with children and also able to keep household work moving while children are present.
**IMPORTANT NOTE FOR RELOCATION CANDIDATES - The family is looking to fill this role ASAP, so the perfect candidate will need flexibility to travel for a trial in the next two weeks, start training ASAP, and then plan to be relocated and start full-time by October 10. For non-relocation candidates, the start date would be sooner.**
What Makes This Household Different - Invisible structure, not rigid routine: The family has built operational structure behind the scenes: checklists, procedures, inventory standards, and source documents. The family does not want rigid routine imposed on the children or on the feel of the home. The home is lively, playful, flexible, and not museum-like. Candidates who need a quiet, polished, highly scheduled household to feel successful will not be a fit.
Children are home during the day. Because the children are homeschooled, there are very few truly uninterrupted windows while they are awake. The Household Manager must keep work moving around normal family life.
Parent-led standards. The role supports the principals parenting style; it does not replace it with a candidate's discipline philosophy.
Service-minded communication. Success requires communication that reduces decisions rather than adding commentary. The right candidate fixes what can be fixed, asks when the issue is sensitive or unclear, and avoids unsolicited advice.
Hands-on execution. Laundry, resets, stocking, trash, errands, food prep, car readiness, and routine household work are central to the role.
Systems-based work. The household uses written procedures, checklists, inventory trackers, and ChatGPT inside a household operations Project for routine operational support.

Not a Fit If...

· You view laundry, resets, stocking, errands, or food prep as beneath you.
· You need constant verbal direction instead of following procedures and checklists.
