Nanny/Household Manager & Family Assistant Placements.

One Professional. Total Home Support

As children grow into their tween and teen years, families often need a different kind of support. While hands-on childcare decreases, household logistics and scheduling demands increase.

We offer placement of experienced Household Managers who specialize in supporting families with older children. These professionals blend after-school oversight with executive-level home support — managing schedules, coordinating activities, overseeing vendors, assisting with travel planning, and ensuring the home runs seamlessly.

This role is ideal for busy, dual-career families who need structure, organization, and proactive support — without traditional full-time nanny care.

Ideal For Families Who:

  • Have school-aged or tween children

  • Need someone proactive, not just supervisory

  • Want one point person managing home flow

  • Have two working parents

  • Travel frequently

  • Prefer a long-term, high-level household professional
