Job Title:

Full-Time House Manager & Family Assistant

Location:

View Park, CA 90008

Employment Type:

Full-time (40 hours/week), W2

Proposed

Start Date:

ASAP

Compensation: $30–35/hour, based on experience

Proposed Scheduled:
Monday–Friday (Friday is typically a lighter day)

• Core coverage needed: mornings to support school‑day launch and household reset, plus midday/afternoon coverage for home operations and shifting pickups/activities.
• Flexibility required: plans can change quickly week to week (and sometimes day of), including occasional earlier starts, later coverage, and periodic evening/date‑night or overnight support by arrangement.
• Notes: The family travels at times; summer typically includes extended family travel, which can align well with PTO and lighter weeks.

We are a warm, fast‑moving, and dynamic family of five with three children ages 15, 13, and 7, along with two cats. Both parents primarily work from home, and our household blends family life with work‑from‑home schedules, occasional travel, and a steady flow of activities and visitors. We value a calm, pleasant home environment and operate best when the household runs on clear systems, strong communication, and shared responsibility.

Our kids are busy with school and after‑school commitments, and we’re a home where schedules can pivot quickly. We’re also a family that enjoys hosting, both for community gatherings and for friends, so comfort with people in and out of the home is important. We’re not religious, but we do observe and celebrate cultural holidays and prioritize family time and meaningful routines.

The role requires a person who is adaptable, proactive, systems‑driven, and able to handle various family tasks, from logistics to organizing, running errands, light child care, and supporting meal prep. We value someone who is comfortable with a fast‑paced, ever‑changing environment, can maintain clear communication, and remains flexible with shifting priorities.

You are the “connecting glue”—a highly organized, proactive House Manager who creates consistent systems and takes real mental load off the parents. You’re Type A in the best way: meticulous, detail‑driven, and motivated by running an efficient, well‑labeled, functional home (not just aesthetically organized). You’re socially confident, comfortable greeting guests, and skilled at navigating a home where work and family life overlap.

You communicate directly, take feedback well, and stay drama‑free and professional. You’re flexible when plans change, and you’re the kind of person who naturally builds checklists, SOPs, and simple routines that actually stick. You can also coordinate with outside support (sitters, cleaners, vendors) and manage handoffs so tasks get completed correctly.

Additional items that matter to our family: comfort with cats, alignment with a respectful and professional home environment (including discretion around sensitive topics).
