About Our Family

We are a multi-generational family of four, living with extended family and hosting frequent family gatherings (often 20-30 people). We have two boys-one in college and one in high school-and there are often multiple capable adults around the home at any given time.

While there's no shortage of people, daily life moves quickly and stays full. Things run best when there is someone who can quietly step in, notice what needs doing, and help keep everything running smoothly.

With one parent working full-time and the other wanting more time to pursue her career and passions, we are seeking an efficient, proactive, and organized House Manager & Family Assistant who can blend seamlessly into the flow of a multi-generational household-supporting where needed, taking initiative without disrupting the rhythm, and helping get things done with care and precision.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a busy, dynamic environment and enjoys balancing household tasks with meal prep, coordination, and thoughtful support.

What We're Looking For
  • Proactive & Self-Sufficient: You take initiative without needing constant direction and naturally anticipate needs.
  • Organized & Detail-Oriented: You take pride in doing things thoroughly and correctly and notice the small details that matter.
  • Flexible & Reliable: You work well within a dynamic, multi-generational household and understand the needs of a busy family.
  • Open to Feedback: You welcome constructive feedback and use it as a tool for growth.
  • Respectful of the Home: You value cleanliness and household standards (e.g., no shoes in the house), handle items with care, and understand the cultural importance of maintaining a well-kept space.
  • Positive & Grateful: You bring a glass-half-full mindset and approach your work with integrity and appreciation.
  • Strong Communication Skills: You provide clear updates and manage family needs smoothly and professionally.
  • Respectful & Empathetic: You live by the "platinum rule," treating others the way they wish to be treated.
  • Persistent & Problem-Solver: You thrive off of problem-solving, remain persistent in the face of challenges, and enjoy finding creative solutions to keep the household running smoothly.
  • Impact-Driven & Resourceful: You care about sustainability and the long-term impact of your work, and you find creative, resourceful solutions to everyday challenges.
