A Modern-Day Mary Poppins Role

This is a rare opportunity for an exceptional, hands-on professional who finds real purpose in running a household with excellence and heart.

Our client is a private, values-driven family seeking one trusted right-hand partner to steward the daily operations of their home while providing calm, confident care for school-aged children. This is not a traditional nanny role and not a light household coordination position. It’s a mission-critical role for someone who takes pride in follow-through, anticipates needs, and enjoys being fully “in the work.”

The right person brings structure, warmth, and steady leadership to the home—creating the kind of environment where children thrive and parents can be fully present when the day ends.

The Role at a Glance

This integrated position combines hands-on household management with school-aged childcare. You’ll be trusted to manage the rhythm of the home day-to-day, executing tasks personally while keeping everything running smoothly and proactively.

You’ll have autonomy, clear expectations, and the opportunity to build a long-term partnership with a family that values loyalty, excellence, discretion, and respect.

Key Responsibilities

Household Operations (Hands-On)

• Personally manage daily household operations with a high standard of care and organization
• Daily tidying, light cleaning, and proactive upkeep of living spaces
• Full laundry management (sorting, stain treatment, proper care, folding, and putting away)
• Grocery shopping, household inventory, and simple, wholesome meal prep (comfort following recipes)
• Household organization systems and regular resets
• Vendor coordination, service scheduling, and routine property needs
• Household calendars, appointments, travel prep, and online orders/returns
• Vehicle care coordination (cleaning, fueling, maintenance scheduling)

Childcare & Family Support

• Morning routines including breakfast, preparation, and school drop-off
• After-school support: snacks, homework, activities, and screen-time boundaries
• Transportation to sports and activities
• Care during sick days, school breaks, and schedule disruptions
• Support children in completing chores and building responsibility
• Serve as a warm, emotionally steady adult presence

Pets

• Daily care for the family’s dogs (feeding, cleanup, supply management)
• Administering medications and coordinating vet care as needed
• Supporting children in their pet responsibilities

Who Thrives in This Role

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Takes pride in tangible, hands-on work and visible results
• Is exceptionally reliable—things don’t fall through the cracks
• Is highly organized, systems-minded, and detail-oriented
• Anticipates needs and takes initiative without being asked
• Is calm, warm, and confident with school-aged children (ages 10–12)
• Genuinely enjoys dogs and is comfortable with daily pet care
• Is emotionally mature, discreet, and professional
• Values structure, routine, and high standards
• Is comfortable working in a Christian household where faith is part of daily language and routines, particularly with the children
• Is seeking a long-term role (5+ years), not a stepping stone

Common successful backgrounds include experienced household managers, senior executive assistants, career nannies with strong household skills, hospitality managers, educators, or mature professionals seeking meaningful work.

Compensation & Benefits

Compensation:

• Salaried equivalent of $20–$30 per hour, depending on experience and overall fit
• Paid on a salaried basis
• Annual bonus opportunity
• Flexibility for the right long-term hire

Benefits include:

• Full health insurance (medical, dental, vision)
• 401(k) participation
• Paid holidays and PTO
• Stable, professional, respectful work environment

Additional Notes

• Full-time, live-out position

• Confidentiality is essential; identifying details are shared later in the process
• A short personality assessment is part of the selection process

Bottom Line

This is a career-level household role for someone who wants their work to truly matter. If you’ve ever been described as the person who quietly makes everything run better—and you love caring for a home and children with excellence—this may be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

Applicants of all backgrounds are encouraged to apply. This role requires professionalism, discretion, and comfort supporting a family’s household culture and values.
