About Our Family:

We’re a family of five in Bellevue, WA, looking for a dedicated and proactive household manager to help keep our home running smoothly. Our household includes two parents and three children: one in college, one heading there this fall, and one in high school. We don't have pets. With kids at different stages and activities, life here has plenty of energy — though weekdays while they're at school tend to be quiet, giving you focused time to get things done.

We value organization, clear communication, and a clutter-free home. While we appreciate warmth and connection, we equally value professionalism and the ability to work independently. The right person will step in and take ownership of the day-to-day — meal prep, laundry, organizing, vendor coordination — without needing constant direction. This is a non-residential position with flexible hours. We're open to discussing a schedule that works for both sides, as long as the core needs of the household are covered. As employers, we believe in mutual respect and creating a supportive environment for the people who work with us. We're hoping to build a long-term partnership with someone who will take pride in our home the way we do, and who helps make it a place where the whole family can relax and recharge.

Who You Are / What We're Looking For:

You’re an experienced household professional with a strong track record in well-run homes. You're skilled across the core areas: meal prep, laundry, organizing, vendor coordination, and comfortable owning the full scope of household operations. You thrive in busy family environments that reward initiative over waiting for direction.You're proactive, intuitive, highly organized and detail-oriented, with sound judgment about when to make a decision yourself and when to check in. You balance a warm, friendly presence with clear professional boundaries, and you're the kind of dependable proactive team player who keeps things running so the rest of the household can focus on what matters most to them.
