PHILADELPHIA SUBURBS, PA – PART-TIME HOUSE MANAGER- A warm, private, and busy family in the Philadelphia suburbs is seeking an exceptional PART-TIME, LIVE-OUT HOUSE MANAGER to become an indispensable right hand to the mother and help ensure the household runs seamlessly. This is a highly hands-on role for someone who is equally comfortable developing systems and anticipating needs as they are rolling up their sleeves and tackling day-to-day household responsibilities. The family has one child remaining at home, a busy and active 14-year-old involved in competitive dance. Both parents work from home and highly value their privacy, making discretion, professionalism, and sound judgment absolutely essential. The schedule is flexible and will guarantee a minimum of 20 hours per week. Compensation is $40-50/hour gross via payroll and is commensurate with experience.
This position is ideal for a proactive, solutions-oriented professional who thrives on staying ten steps ahead. The family is looking for someone who naturally identifies needs before being asked, takes initiative, and approaches the role with an ownership mentality. The ideal candidate will not require hand-holding and will instead bring ideas, reminders, and solutions to the table. Whether it's proactively arranging seasonal tasks, preparing for upcoming holidays, managing household inventories, or coordinating projects, this person should constantly be thinking ahead and helping make life easier for the family.
Responsibilities will include household organization and maintenance, including managing linens, pantry organization, refrigerator organization, inventory management, making beds, fluffing pillows, folding and putting away laundry, overseeing household supplies, running errands, handling returns, coordinating donations, and ensuring the home remains organized and guest-ready at all times. The House Manager will also coordinate home improvement projects, communicate with contractors and vendors on behalf of the family, oversee scheduling and appointments, assist with event and party preparation and breakdown, and serve as a trusted liaison between the family and outside service providers.
The family employs housekeepers, so this is not a heavy cleaning role; however, the ideal candidate must be willing to jump in wherever needed and take pride in the details that keep a household running smoothly. From organizing storage spaces and putting away holiday décor to managing household projects large and small, no task should be considered beneath them. The family also has two small dogs, so the ideal candidate must genuinely enjoy being around animals and be comfortable coordinating veterinary appointments, meeting mobile groomers, and assisting with occasional pet-related needs. The ideal candidate is highly organized, technologically savvy, and an excellent communicator. They should be comfortable utilizing apps, shared calendars, email systems, household management software, and digital organizational tools. Strong follow-through, honesty, transparency, efficiency, and exceptional attention to detail are critical. A background in household management, executive assistance, family assistance, estate management, or a similarly demanding role is highly preferred.
Most importantly, the family is seeking someone intelligent, resourceful, trustworthy, and discreet; a polished professional who can seamlessly integrate into their lives, anticipate needs, solve problems before they arise, and become a valued long-term member of their household team.
