Title: Part-Time House Manager & Family Assistant (with Meal Prep Support) Location: Avon Lake, OH 44012 Employment Type: Part-time (10–15 hours/week) Proposed Start Date: ASAP Compensation: $25–30/hour, based on experience Requirements: Can maintain a smoke-free environment Must have reliable transportation (mileage reimbursement provided for errands completed during work hours) Comfortable working with a small dog in the home Proposed Schedule: 3 days per week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday): 4 hour shifts (9:00 AM - 4:00 PM) flexible on daytime hours. About the Family: We are a loving, lively family of three, along with a playful 4‑year‑old dog who brings plenty of joy and energy into our home. Both parents work full‑time — one primarily in the office and the other splitting time between home and office — and with occasional work travel a few times per quarter, our weeks tend to move quickly. We’ve recently moved into a new home and are focused on creating a space that feels calm, organized, and supportive of our busy schedules. Having thoughtful, consistent meal planning and preparation is the biggest way we’re looking to create more balance in our day‑to‑day lives, and this will be the primary focus of this role. Beyond meal prep, we’re hoping for light household support as time allows — things like staying on top of laundry, organization, errands, and daily resets — so that when we’re home, we can spend more quality time together. If you enjoy cooking, take pride in keeping a home running smoothly, and like supporting an active family in a warm, collaborative way, we’d love to hear from you!
