House Manager/ Family Assistant 20-25 hrs/week, San Luis Obispo (Great Fit for Experienced Moms)
Job Description
A San Luis Obsipo family with a toddler and newborn is looking for a house manager to take household operations off their plate so they can focus on their business and their kids. You'll own laundry, meal prep, grocery shopping, daily resets, and errands. This is not childcare (they have that covered). This is the role that keeps the house running smoothly in the background.
About This Role
Both parents co-own a manufacturing business and work split between their office and home. They have an au pair who provides full-time childcare for their 3.5-year-old during the week, but no one is handling the house. Laundry piles up. Dinner becomes a scramble. Restocking falls behind. Mail and errands stack. The mental load compounds.
This role exists to handle the household operations loop: daily resets, laundry from start to finish, meal planning and dinner prep, grocery shopping and restocking, mail sorting, vendor payments, errands, and keeping the cars tidy. The house has good organizational systems already in place (professionally organized kitchen, labeled bins, designated storage). Your job is to maintain those systems and keep everything flowing without letting tasks pile up or stop halfway.
This is not a corporate household manager position. It's a practical, hands-on role in a family that values momentum over perfection. You'll work during business hours on a flexible schedule. The family works from home often, so you'll be around them, but you'll operate independently.
Your Background
We welcome experienced parents re-entering the workforce. If you've been managing a household for years and are ready to get paid for the skills you've built, this role is for you. We also welcome candidates from hospitality, executive assistant, caregiving, or household management backgrounds. What matters is that you've demonstrated the ability to manage complexity, close loops, and operate autonomously.
Requirements:
Legally authorized to work in the U.S.
Reliable transportation and ability to commute to San Francisco
Clean background check and references
Commitment to not coming to work sick (newborn and toddler in home)
