A home manager, or household manager, takes on the duties that are required for a large household to operate efficiently. Job duties often vary from each employment contract but typically include cleaning, serving, directing other household staff members, and managing daily errands. Home managers make careers out of helping people who find themselves too busy or otherwise unable to handle day-to-day domestic tasks in a large residence. Most home managers end up living in a staffed home where they can train and oversee employees and contractors. This job requires proven supervision, maintenance, and planning skills. Qualifications often call for years of experience in cooking, party-hosting, personal shopping, and more.
