While our exact home location is still being finalized, we anticipate settling in or near Liberty / the 64157 area, north of the Missouri River.With a curious, energetic toddler and a new baby on the way, our days are full of movement. We both work asynchronous schedules, often from home, which means things can easily pile up or get pushed off. We're looking for steady support to help our household run smoothly as we settle into our new home and community.We're flexible and appreciate someone who can meet us where we are — we will do the same for you. What matters most to us is finding someone who's proactive, kind, and comfortable rolling with our rhythm. We want our evenings to feel calmer and more connected, and that starts with having the right support in the first part of our day.As we establish our new roots in Kansas City, the right person will truly become an important part of our village. We're looking for someone who genuinely loves children and brings reliability and care to every shift. We value a steady environment, and we're looking for someone who brings that same energy through the door.Who You Are / What We're Looking ForYou have a grounded presence, but also take initiative. You're warm and kind, especially with little ones, but you understand the professional nature of this role. You're self-directed, flexible, and detail-oriented. You communicate clearly, manage your time well, and approach each day with a proactive mindset. You take pride in leaving things better than you found them.You are comfortable with each day looking different: some days, you'll be focused more on childcare, while other days you'll be meal prepping, helping with laundry, or tackling an organizational project. You believe no task is too big or too small and are creative, organized, and dependable. As time passes, you may even preempt some needs, suggest new systems, or pave a better way forward in our home.Most of all, we are looking for someone we can genuinely trust and rely on for the long term — someone who becomes a consistent, valued part of how our household runs and who takes pride in the role they play in our family's day-to-day life. We are hoping to find someone who is highly adaptable and will grow with our family as our needs evolve.Key ResponsibilitiesFamily Support & Child AssistanceProvide dedicated supervision and engagement during scheduled childcare blocksPrep kid-friendly lunches during childcare hoursChild-related errands as neededMeal Planning & PrepWeekly batch cooking session: prepare 2–3 full meals designed to be reheated throughout the week, with a leftovers mindsetPrep snacks, including washing and cutting fresh fruits and vegetablesGrocery shopping for meal prep ingredientsFollow household dietary needs and preferences (gluten free)Kitchen cleanup and maintenance after prepLaundry & Linen CareWash, fold, and organize family laundry and linensSpecial garment care for items as neededRegular linen rotation: bed sheets, bathroom towelsMaintain a tidy, well-stocked laundry areaHousehold Management & OrganizationCreate and/or Maintain household organization systemsDaily resets and prep home for cleanersLight tidying (dishes, surfaces, vacuum high-traffic areas)Assistance with seasonal swaps as neededCoordinate donation drop-offsIndoor plant carePacking and unpacking support for travelOccasional event, holiday, or guest prepChange batteries, light bulbs, smoke detectors, etc.Deep Cleaning & Special ProjectsOccasional deep cleans: refrigerator, oven, baseboardsRefresh entry areasOrganizational projects as needed (pantry, toys)Maintain HVAC filters and air purifiers on a regular scheduleInventory & ErrandsContribute to a running household supply listRestocking pantry and refrigerator as neededAssist with household orders and subscriptions (Amazon, Costco, Target, etc.)Returns, dry cleaning, gift shopping, and other errands as neededMail and package handling including breaking down boxesVendor & Property OversightOversee cleaners, contractors, and repair technicians when on-siteLight outdoor space upkeepVehicle ManagementTrack family vehicle maintenance appointmentsAssist with fueling, cleaning, and organizing the family vehicleTrack registration and insurance renewal timelinesAdministrative & Personal Assistant SupportMaintain awareness of the family calendar and household schedulesTrack receipts and budget for expenses incurred in the house manager roleHow to ApplyPlease submit a short intro letter, an updated resume, and 3 professional references with contact information.
