House Manager

** (1) Workers supervised: the family's nanny/nannies. The family currently employs one (1) nanny assigned to the children. Supervision includes setting the nanny's schedule and hours; assigning and directing childcare-related tasks; relaying the parents' instructions and standards; acting as point of contact between parents and nanny; and monitoring performance. (2) Home maintenance/repair: the Manager arranges, schedules, supervises, and verifies work by outside contractors and does not perform repairs. Tasks: identifying needs (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, house cleaning, electrical maintenance, appliance repair, landscaping, handyman); selecting contractors; comparing quotes; scheduling site access around family/staff schedules; approving payment; recordkeeping; and warranty follow-up. Authority: may select, engage, and pay routine/recurring contractors (ex. House cleaners) without prior approval within a parent-set per-project budget, and direct vendors on scope, location, and timing; non-routine or higher-cost projects above that threshold go to the parents for final approval with the Manager's recommendation. Supervisory duties: monitoring on-site progress; inspecting work for scope and quality; . These contractors are independent vendors, not household employees. Tools: computer/laptop, smartphone, email, scheduling apps, spreadsheets and digital records, and payment methods (online bill-pay, household cards, or check); contractors supply their own tools and materials.
