About Me
We are a busy family with two school-aged children (6 and 8) looking for a warm, organised and proactive Household Manager who can help keep our home running smoothly. While daily meal preparation is an important part of the role, the position is much broader and centres on supporting the family’s day-to-day life — from organising schedules and travel, to managing appointments, helping with the children, and caring for our dogs.
We are looking for someone who is naturally organised, willing to learn, and happy to get involved in a wide variety of tasks. Previous admin experience isn’t necessary. The most important part of the role is becoming a trusted, positive presence in our home and someone the children genuinely enjoy having around.
