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

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a Household Manager and a Nanny/Household Manager?

Placement typically takes 2-4 weeks, depending on your specific requirements and schedule flexibility.

What is the screening process for Household Manager candidates?

All candidates undergo reference checks, a criminal background check, and an in-person interview before being presented to your family.

Do you offer a guarantee on Household Manager placements?

Yes — full-time placements include a full-year replacement guarantee, and part-time placements include a three-month replacement period.

What are the fees for a Household Manager placement?

There is a $300 consultation fee that includes a 45-minute Zoom call to go over details of the position.
