- Overseeing maintenance, repairs, and home improvement projects (obtaining quotes, supervising workers, following up on completion and quality)
- Light bookkeeping: Tracking household expenses, reconciling credit card statements, and maintaining a simple budget spreadsheet
- Running house-related errands (dry cleaning, post office, returns, specialty shopping, etc.)
- Managing household calendars (appliance service renewals, filter changes, inspections, etc.)
- Occasional oversight of additional vendors or staff (cleaners, gardeners, etc.)
- Pet care support: Must be very comfortable with (and enjoy) dogs. We have one large-to-medium sized, friendly dog.

- Proven ability to manage multiple priorities with a calm, professional demeanor
- Excellent organizational and communication skills (both written and verbal)

Schedule & Benefits
Typical schedule is Monday–Friday with occasional weekend flexibility (advance notice given). Benefits include paid vacation (2 weeks to start), major holidays, and sick days.
If you are proactive, warm, and love creating an organized and comfortable home environment (and you’re a dog person!), we’d love to meet you.
