About the Job
We're looking for a full house manager to help with keeping the house clean and organized, meal prep, and some errands (infrequent). Please only apply to this if you have experience with meal preparation and full cleaning (deep and maintenance). We are looking for someone for 10-15 hours a week, flexible days/times on weekdays only. Preferably min 3 days a week since we are dependent on meal prep assistance, but are willing to be flexible with someone who can help us make daily meal prep work!
About us: We have two kids, 4. 5 and 2, and one small very sweet dog named Bowie. We are constrained by busy schedules and want to ensure all of our free time is focused family time so we are looking for additional help. We had a temporary house manager for the last 3 months so we have a good baseline of resources/processes to help support.
