Household Manager & Family Assistant

OVERVIEWA working mother who runs several businesses is looking for a trusted, capable person to help her household run smoothly. The role has three priorities: keep a large home consistently clean and in excellent order, cook wholesome meals for a family of four, and provide reliable childcare and household support so the mother can focus on her work and her family.

This is a hands-on, doer role. We are not looking for someone to manage vendors or delegate tasks. We are looking for someone who takes pride in doing the work well and takes ownership of the home as if it were their own.
