Job Description

Location: Downtown Manhattan, NY

Schedule: Part-time, live-out (Monday-Friday), starting ASAP

Overview

A private family of three in Manhattan is seeking a professional, highly organized House Manager to oversee the day-to-day maintenance, organization, and smooth operation of their home. This role is ideal for a proactive self-starter who takes pride in creating order, maintaining household systems, and anticipating the family’s needs.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in home organization, household maintenance, and inventory management, with an eye for detail and consistency. Experience in food prep and light cooking is a plus, as is a background as a nanny or housekeeper, bringing a service-oriented mindset and strong culture fit. While this is a hands-on role, some managerial experience—such as coordinating vendors or overseeing household staff—is preferred.

This position requires someone who values discretion, communicates clearly, and enjoys being an integral part of a well-run household.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform daily organizational duties of an apartment, including tidying, and inventory management
• Wardrobe management: unpacking shopping, minor repairs, dry cleaning, inventorying, closet organization, and packing/unpacking for travel
• Light cooking and meal prep
• Package management (receive, open, process returns, etc)
• Overseeing vendors (as needed) and staff
• Occasional errand running as requested

Qualifications

• Minimum 5 years of experience in a similar role with a private family
• Fluent in English and excellent at taking directions
• Must be a team player and have a can-do attitude
• Strong references demonstrating excellence, reliability, and trustworthiness
• Detail-oriented with high standards for cleanliness and organization
• Experience working in a home with a school-aged child and flexible with daily needs
• Available to come in on occasional Saturdays as needed
