The Family:
This loving, professional family of four is looking for their next long-term Household Manager. Their current Household Manager has been part of their lives for many years, and they hope to build another positive, long-term relationship with someone who becomes an important and trusted part of their family's support system.
The family deeply values trust, initiative, humor, clear communication and mutual respect. The father is a Founder and CEO and travels around 50% of the time, and the mother participates in the business and also does independent consulting. The children (a 14 year old boy and a 11 year old girl) stay busy with sports and activities outside of school. The family has a sweet, hypoallergenic Cavapoo dog.
The Role
The family is seeking a proactive, hands-on Household Manager who enjoys creating an organized, well-cared-for home and anticipating what the household will need next. The primary focus is the day-to-day running of their family home, including meals, groceries, laundry, household organization and coordination of vendors, and routine home maintenance. The role also includes some support for their children and dog, plus occasional family-assistance projects. Their neighboring guest residence requires only limited support—primarily occasional maintenance coordination or preparation for guests—and is expected to represent less than 10% of the role.
What You’ll Do Every Week
● Keep their primary family home running smoothly through regular tidying, kitchen resets, laundry, linens, household organization, indoor plant care, errands and restocking of everyday supplies.
● Plan and prepare approximately 3–5 healthy family meals each week; prepare or pack breakfasts, lunches and snacks; manage groceries; and accommodate the family's dietary preferences.
● Run family’s morning routing - support kids breakfast, safe transport to school/bus and make parents morning tea and juice.
● Maintain a simple schedule for recurring home maintenance and seasonal needs.
● Coordinate trusted household vendors and service providers, including scheduling appointments, providing access, gathering quotes when needed and following up on repairs or projects, and being onsite for quality control
● Notice and communicate household maintenance or supply needs before they become urgent.
● Support occasional household projects such as closet or pantry organization, holiday preparation and decor, the summer garden and event setup.
Children & Dog
● Support morning logistics and provide safe, attentive, and distraction-free transportation in the family vehicle—driving their son to his bus stop and their daughter to school each weekday (both 3–5 minutes from our house), along with occasional agreed-upon school or activity transportation and schedule coverage.
● Provide limited support with meals, snacks or homework as needed; both children are school-aged and do not require full-time childcare.
● Provide basic daytime care for their dog, including potty breaks, feeding, short walks or outdoor time and reinforcement of family training routines.
Important schedule requirement: The Household Manager must be able to arrive reliably no later than 6:50 a.m. each weekday to support family morning logistics and drive their son to his bus stop.
Occasional Support
As needed and in partnership with the family, the Household Manager may also help with:
● Provide occasional basic oversight of their neighboring guest residence, such as coordinating maintenance access, light upkeep or preparing and resetting the space for guests; this is expected to represent less than 10% of the role.
● Light online research or coordination for travel, gifts and select family purchases.
● Occasional logistical support related to an aging parent, such as researching providers or coordinating an appointment; this is not a caregiving role.
How the Family and Household Manager Work Together
● Begin each week with aligned priorities, meal plan and maintain a shared task list. Communicate proactively through text and email, including concise updates, emerging concerns and decisions needed from the family. Bi-weekly in-person meetings to review priorities, discuss needs, and problem solve any issues.
● House manager must be open to direct feedback and inputs from parents and hearing preferences from children (i.e. preferred foods) especially while onboarding in the first several weeks of the role.
● Use good judgment about what to handle independently and when to ask for input or approval. Close the loop by confirming that tasks, repairs, purchases and follow-ups are fully complete—not merely initiated.
● Work comfortably with both parents, with the mother serving as the primary manager; adjust as family priorities evolve and close the loop on agreed-upon tasks.
● Maintain discretion, professional boundaries and respect.

The Family:
This loving family of four is seeking a fantastic, part time nanny to join their team. The parents are warm, thoughtful employers who already have a full time nanny during the week, but they need some additional care.
Their daughter is a sweet, cheerful baby who is curious to explore the world around her. They would like to partner with a nanny who will engage with her, and nurture her inquisitive mind, and who can accompany them and be an extra set of hands during outings.
There are no pets in the home.
The Job Description:
The nanny will be responsible for ensuring a safe, nurturing and loving environment for their baby. Job duties will include:
Nanny Attributes/Qualifications/Requirements:
Their ideal nanny has a minimum of 5 years of relevant infant care experience, and 8 years of childcare nanny experience. They should be proactive, nurturing, patient, and a good communicator. The nanny should be genuinely interested in helping to support their child in play, learning, language development, tummy time, reading books, and supporting developmental milestones. It’s important to the family that the nanny be comfortable accompanying them on outings during the weekends. The nanny must be able to bathe the child independently.

The nanny should be current with their CPR/First Aid Certification (or be willing to update asap).
The Family:
This warm Mercer Island family of four is seeking a steady, trustworthy caregiver who can become a long-term member of their family's support system. The family has lived in the Seattle area for more than 10 years and has had only two nannies during that time — they value excellent relationships with their care providers.
Both parents have demanding professional careers, so reliability and the ability to help keep the household running smoothly are especially important. Their two boys, ages 10 and 7, are sweet, well-behaved kids. The family also has an 11-year-old Goldendoodle in the home.
The Job Description:
This is a combined nanny/family assistant role involving significant driving and some daytime household support. The boys attend school in Seattle's Ravenna neighborhood. A typical day includes helping the boys get ready in the morning, driving them to school, assisting with household tasks while they are in school (approximately 6–8 hours per week), and then handling school pickup and transportation to after-school activities, primarily in Kirkland and Bellevue.
There is a period of downtime while the boys are at school — typically between drop-off (around 9:00–9:15am) and pickup (around 2:20pm) — once the day's family-assistant duties are complete. The family asks that the nanny remain available on-call during this window, which is reflected in the $25/hr on-call rate. The family also needs flexibility on days the children are home for scheduled school closures or sick days (as agreed upon). They have professional house cleaners every other week, so this is not a deep-cleaning position.
Typical Job Duties:
Nanny Attributes/Qualifications/Requirements:
The ideal candidate is dependable, flexible, proactive, and comfortable balancing childcare with family-assistant responsibilities. Because driving is a major part of the role, an excellent driving history is essential. The family is looking for someone who genuinely wants a long-term position and is comfortable stepping in where needed as the family's schedule changes.
