House Manager

House Manager / Family Assistant

North Tustin, CA (about 10 minutes from the Orange Circle) 20-40 hours/week $25-32/hour (DOE)

We're a busy family looking for a House Manager to help keep our home running smoothly. This is a hands-on role for someone who likes variety, notices what needs doing, and takes care of it without being asked twice.

Our household includes 3 month old baby, one dog, and one cat. You'd become a trusted part of our day-to-day life, so we're looking for someone we can build a long-term relationship with.

What the role looks like

• Light housekeeping: tidying, laundry, dishes, keeping common areas reset
• Errands: groceries, returns, dry cleaning
• Some babysitting / date nights
• Pet care: walks & fetch
• Staying ahead of household needs: restocking supplies, scheduling appointments, ect.
• Occasional travel with the family if you're comfortable

Who we're looking for

• A great communicator. You keep us in the loop, ask when something isn't clear, and don't leave us guessing.
• Thoughtful. You pay attention to how our household actually works and adapt to it.
• Self-starting. You see what needs doing and do it, rather than waiting for a list.
• Strong common sense. You can make good judgment calls in the moment, especially with a baby and pets in the mix.
• A quick learner. You pick up our routines, preferences, and systems fast and get better at them over time.
• Genuinely good with kids and animals. Calm, warm, and safe around a baby, a dog, and a cat.

Requirements

• Reliable transportation, valid driver's license, and clean driving record
• Comfortable with a flexible schedule, including some evenings for date nights
• Current CPR certification (infant/child CPR preferred)
• Must pass a background check
• References from previous families or employers
• Prior experience in a similar role is a plus but not required if you're the right fit

Schedule and pay

• 20-40 hours per week, with flexibility on how those hours are structured
• $25-32/hour, depending on experience
• Looking to hire as soon as we find the right person, with some flexibility on your exact start date
• We're open to discussing a schedule that works well for both of us
