A warm, organized family is seeking an Experienced House Manager & Nanny to serve as the operational lead of their home while providing thoughtful support to the children. This is a true leadership role within the household, responsible for ensuring the home runs seamlessly, remains fully stocked and organized, and maintains a calm, structured environment throughout the week.
With the youngest child in preschool, the position leans heavily into home management, meal preparation, vendor coordination, and overall household logistics, while also providing meaningful support during key parts of the children’s day. This role requires someone who can confidently take ownership of the home, collaborate with additional staff, and anticipate needs before they arise.
The ideal candidate is proactive, emotionally intelligent, and highly organized — someone who takes pride in creating systems, maintaining high standards, and elevating the overall function and feel of the household.
About the Children
This is a lively, loving family with five children ranging from toddler through college age. While the primary focus of this role will be supporting the younger children still living at home, the household is energetic, engaged, and full of personality.
Toddler / Preschooler
A bright, chatty little spark who keeps everyone on their toes. She attends a Montessori preschool three full days per week (8:00 AM–2:45 PM) and will likely transition to five days per week in the fall. She still naps (for now!).
She thrives outdoors and loves swimming, trampoline time, park adventures, gymnastics, dancing, singing, ball play, and arts and crafts — all the joyful, busy rhythms of early childhood. She is friendly and warms up quickly once she feels comfortable. As the youngest in the family, she is full of personality and confidence and benefits from gentle guidance, consistency, and patient redirection as she continues learning about sharing and cooperation.
Pre-Teen
Friendly, kind, and incredibly helpful. Active and curious, with interests that include team sports, horseback riding, scouting activities, robotics, science, the outdoors, and cooking. Musical and creative, enjoys playing guitar and singing. Responds well to inclusion, encouragement, and steady mentorship.
Teen (High School Student)
Social, athletic, and driven. Involved in varsity-level sports and travel athletics during portions of the year. When not practicing or competing, enjoys concerts, time with friends, and creative outlets like art and music. Brings independence and strong energy to the household dynamic.
High School Senior
Thoughtful and bright, with strong interests in technology, theater production, and sports. More reserved in temperament but warm and engaging, especially when discussing areas of interest. Preparing for college transition in the near future.
College Student
Currently away at college but home during school breaks and summer months. Independent and musically inclined, with minimal day-to-day support needed, though present as part of the family dynamic during school holidays.
The family has a pool with an automatic safety cover (kept covered when not in use). The youngest child especially enjoys swimming, and attentive water supervision is essential.
