What are the responsibilities and job description for the House Manager & Family Assistant (Brookline) position at Sittercity.com?
Our household includes a high schooler with a demanding extracurricular schedule, two adults managing day-to-day responsibilities, and a property in Florida that we also keep up with. One of us is blind, which adds a unique element to our routine, but we’ve built systems that work for us and help everything run smoothly. Our family has a calm, laid-back energy, and everyone is easygoing and flexible, which makes for a warm and welcoming home environment. Our daughter is enrolled in an intensive dance program in Brighton and spends up to 4-5 afternoons and evenings per week at her dance studio, while also volunteering several hours per month at a nonprofit in the East Fenway/Northeastern University neighborhood of Boston.
With so much going on, the day-to-day responsibilities—driving our daughter to and from dance classes, rehearsals, competitions and volunteer hours, managing household tasks, supporting extended family, and organizing everything—are typically handled mostly by one parent while the other works full-time. We’re hoping to find someone who can step in and help with some of these tasks, especially the driving and household responsibilities. The goal is to ease the mental load and help create more space for us to focus on what matters most, while making sure we get to spend more quality time together. We’re looking for someone who can help make our busy lives a little easier while blending into our warm, family-oriented dynamic.
