About Our Family

We are a warm, dynamic Brooklyn family of seven with five children, ages 1 to 10, entering an exciting new chapter as we transition into a larger multi-story townhouse. Our children attend French immersion schools, and we have an established household team including au pair support, babysitters, regular housekeeping, and private chef services.

Amid busy careers, professional travel, school, extracurricular activities, and full social calendars, we're at a stage where we want to create more simplicity, presence, and meaningful time together. We're seeking an exceptional Executive Household Manager who can reduce the day-to-day mental load, bring thoughtful structure to the many moving pieces, and work seamlessly alongside our existing team.

• Exceptionally organized, detail-oriented, and precise
• High agency with the ability to anticipate needs and operate independently
• High EQ and an intuitive ability to read the room
• Calm and solutions-oriented under pressure
• Reliable with exceptional follow-through and accountability
• Systems-minded, efficient, and resourceful
• Able to provide high-touch support with a light footprint
• Warm and comfortable around children while maintaining professional boundaries
• Collaborative with existing household staff and vendors
• Adaptable and comfortable shifting priorities
• Receptive to direction and attentive to a principal's preferences
• Deeply respectful of family privacy
• Interested in becoming a trusted, long-term partner to the household

• Take ownership of day-to-day household operations and recurring priorities
• Learn the family's preferences and…
