**Job Title:** Household Manager **Location:** Chicago, IL **Employment Type:** Part-Time | 20 hours per week **Schedule:** 3 days per week, with Friday as a consistent priority and the remaining two days flexible based on candidate preference. Start times can fall anywhere between 8:30 AM and 12:00 PM to accommodate the right candidate’s schedule. **Compensation:** $35–$45 per hour **Start Date:** ASAP **Requirements** **About Our Family** We are a warm, busy family of five with an active household and a full schedule. Our days move at a fast pace, with early mornings, full days, and evenings that vary from week to week. Our home is already well-organized with established systems and routines in place. This role is not about creating structure from scratch, but rather about maintaining, refining, and elevating the systems we have already built. We have a housekeeping team that comes twice a week and manages all deep cleaning in addition to a landscaping team that maintains the exterior of the property. What we are looking for is someone to take ownership of the day-to-day details in between — managing laundry, groceries, errands, household resets, and the many small tasks that keep everything running seamlessly when our attention is pulled in multiple directions. We value trust, reliability, and initiative. We appreciate someone who is confident working independently and does not require constant oversight. We are looking for a professional who takes genuine ownership of the home, anticipates what needs to be done, and is comfortable using good judgment to find solutions and keep things moving smoothly.**Who You Are / What We're Looking For** The ideal candidate is proactive, self-directed, and reliable, comfortable working independently and taking ownership without needing a detailed checklist each day. You naturally recognize what needs to be done, prioritize effectively, and follow through with minimal direction. Clear, proactive communication is important to you, and you take pride in staying aligned with the family and ensuring the household runs smoothly. We are looking for someone who can take ownership of the day-to-day details that keep a busy household running smoothly, with laundry and linens serving as a key focus of the role. This person will help maintain household inventory, keep routines on track, anticipate and manage evolving priorities, and ensure the family is fully prepared for the weekend — including making sure the vehicle is fueled and weekly groceries are purchased, stocked, and put away by Friday. The right candidate will bring strong judgment, reliability, resourcefulness, and genuine pride in their work. **Key Responsibilities** **Laundry & Linens** **Inventory & Errands** **Household Management and Organization** **Family Support** **Meal Support** **Vehicle Management** **Special Projects** **Administrative & Personal Assistant Support** **How to Apply** Please submit a short intro letter telling us about yourself and why this role is a great fit, an updated resume, and 3 professional references with contact information.
