House Manager

**Job Title:** House Manager **Location:** Arlington, VA 22207 **Employment Type:** Part-time, 16–20 hours per week **Schedule:** Monday through Friday, 2:00–6:00 PM (4 days per week acceptable); additional hours possible for candidates open to occasional childcare **Compensation:** $30–$35 per hour **Start Date:** December 1, 2026; flexible for slightly before or after for the right candidate **Requirements** **About Our Family** We are a busy, welcoming household with two working parents, a young child, and two beloved pets. Both parents have demanding careers, and a household that runs best when someone reliable and proactive is keeping things humming behind the scenes. We have a lot going on, and we’re looking for someone who can help bring a little more ease and organization to the everyday details of running our home. We already have some wonderful support in place, including some great systems put in place by our current house manager, who is relocating out of the area. We’re looking for someone who can continue those systems and take ownership of what happens in between. We've learned that the right support isn't just about getting tasks done — it's about having someone in our corner who genuinely enjoys creating order, anticipates what's needed before being asked, and takes real ownership of the household. We value people who are dependable, thoughtful, and willing to take initiative. The right person will become a trusted part of our household and someone we can rely on to notice what needs to be done and follow through. **Who You Are / What We're Looking For** You are the kind of person who walks into a home and immediately starts noticing what needs attention — not because you were told to, but because that's just how you operate. You're “Type-A” — organized, grounded, and professional, with a natural instinct for creating systems and maintaining them. You take satisfaction in managing your responsibilities independently, keeping track of the details, and following through with tasks to completion. You bring warmth and compassion to your work without blurring the lines between personal and professional — knowing when to be conversational and engaged, and when the situation requires more discretion. You're experienced enough that you don't need hand-holding — you know the questions to ask, you read the household, and you take initiative. You’re comfortable around young children and pets, able to prepare well-balanced meals, capable of coordinating vendors and running errands, and are happy to provide childcare when needed. You fully understand what comes with a household management role and can see what needs attention, take ownership of it, and find your rhythm in our home. **Key Responsibilities** **Meal Support** **Household Organization & Maintenance** **Laundry & Linens** **Inventory & Errands** **Vendor & Property Oversight** **Vehicle Upkeep** **Pet Care** **Family Support** **How to Apply** Please submit a short intro letter, an updated resume, and three professional references with contact information.
