Role OverviewWe are a warm, busy family of five in the greater Des Moines area seeking a Household Manager to take genuine ownership of the home, create practical systems, and ensure details are handled. This is a household management role first, not a childcare position, though being a warm presence when school-aged children are home is helpful.
What You Will Do
Responsibilities include creating and maintaining household organization systems, completing daily resets, preparing the home for biweekly cleaner visits, handling light tidying, laundry, meal planning and prep (2-3 family dinners weekly), running errands, managing inventory, coordinating vendors, and occasional deep-cleaning projects.
Why It Might Be a Fit
We are looking for a proactive, dependable professional who takes ownership and works independently without a rigid task list. The role offers meaningful flexibility in scheduling (15-20 hours/week, Thursday required), compensation of $25-30 per hour, and the opportunity to make a noticeable difference in a family's daily life.
Requirements
- Must be authorized to work in the United States
- Able to maintain a smoke-free environment
- Reliable personal transportation and valid driver's license required
- Preference for candidates to be up to date on recommended vaccinations in line with American Academy of Pediatrics and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines (including COVID-19 and influenza), subject to applicable legal accommodations
Benefits
- Mileage reimbursement provided
- Meaningful flexibility in schedule
