We’re a busy, warm household based in Austin — a working couple with a young toddler, two dogs (a big, lovable lab and a spirited little Chihuahua), and a home that moves at a good pace. One of us works primarily in an office, while the other is fully remote and home most days, which means the house is lived in and active.

We’ve built out a great team to support our household — a full-time nanny, a personal chef, and a weekly deep cleaning crew — and now we’re looking to add the final, essential piece: a house manager who owns the day-to-day rhythm of the home.

Someone who enjoys creating simple routines, keeping track of the little details, and finding thoughtful ways to make everyday life easier and more organized, and making things not only function beautifully, but look great while doing it.

If you’re the kind of person who loves a beautifully organized space, gets a little satisfaction from labeling shelves, color-coding a closet, or turning a cluttered area into something calm and polished, you’ll probably feel right at home with us. More than anything, we’re hoping to find someone who will care for our home with pride and become a trusted, valued part of our household for years to come.
