Compensation: $75,000-$80,000 plus medical benefits and other perks including use of family vehicle for job related duties, all meals during work hours, all expenses covered when traveling to other properties and annual bonus eligible.

About Our Family

We're a warm, welcoming blended family based in Las Vegas. Our household is made up of two busy working professionals and our 11-year-old daughter (she splits her time between homes), plus our sweet 6-year-old Cocker Spaniel who's very much part of the crew.

Life with us is comfortable, upbeat, and a little spontaneous - we split our time between Las Vegas, West Palm Beach, and upstate New York, so things stay interesting and we're often on the move. We truly value long-term, loyal relationships and treat the people who support our home like family. Our previous household managers were both with us for 10+ years, and we'd love to find someone who wants to build that same kind of lasting partnership as our daughter grows up.

Day to day we keep things fairly casual, but we care a lot about having a well-run home that feels calm, cared for, and welcoming - especially around dinnertime, when our daughter is home and we love sitting down together for a good, well-rounded meal.

Who You Are / What We're Looking For

You're a flexible, go-with-the-flow person who thrives on variety and doesn't get flustered by last-minute changes. You genuinely enjoy cooking and take pride in keeping a home running smoothly. You're proactive and organized, able to anticipate needs over time without constant direction. You're comfortable traveling frequently (once monthly to Florida, quarterly to New York) and value being part of a family-oriented household where you're included and appreciated. Most importantly, you're looking for a long-term commitment with a family that treats you like one of their own.
