House Manager & Family Assistant (with Meal Prep Support)

Job Title: House Manager & Family Assistant (with Meal Prep Support) Location: San Carlos, CA 94070 Employment Type: Part‑time (15‑20 hours/week, flexible) Proposed Schedule: 3‑5 days per week, flexible between Monday‑Friday, 4‑6 hour shifts Flexible hours between 8:30 AM - 3:00 PM Compensation: $30–35/hour (based on experience) Start Date: ASAP About Our Family: We are a warm, lively family of five, excited to settle into our recently remodeled home after a year‑long adventure of living in various short‑term rentals! With three energetic boys (ages 10, 8, and 5), our daily rhythm revolves around school schedules and a variety of activities. The oldest leaves at 7:50 AM to walk to school, and the younger two head out around 8:00 AM for their school day. Both parents work—one works outside of the home, and the other works from home 2‑3 days per week. We also have a tortoise as a pet and love spending quality time together as a family. We value a partner who can take on household tasks with enthusiasm and initiative, allowing us to enjoy more family time without the stress of catching up on weekends and evenings. Who You Are: You are the type of person who takes initiative and effortlessly steps in to help without needing to be asked. With your proactive, self‑motivated nature, you thrive in a fast‑paced environment, keeping everything running smoothly while working independently. You bring a positive, can‑do attitude and great energy, helping to create an uplifting atmosphere in the home. Your reliability and commitment are essential to us—you’re someone we can count on day in and day out. We’re looking for someone who will be a long‑term partner for our family, someone who can grow with us as our needs evolve. Your primary focus will be supporting our daily household reset while the family is out. This includes tasks like laundry, morning cleanup, and keeping the home organized. You’ll be comfortable working independently with minimal family interaction, but we’d also love someone who is open to providing backup childcare when needed. Efficiency, attention to detail, and the ability to complete tasks without constant supervision are vital in this role. We value your great judgment and trust that you will know when to step in and when to let things unfold naturally, making life easier for everyone in the household.
