• Maintain a fragrance-free environment
• Reliable transportation required; candidate may use a family vehicle or their own vehicle with mileage reimbursement provided

We are a calm, private household of two adults in Weston, Massachusetts. We recently relocated from Greenwich, Connecticut and have a clear vision for how we want our home to run. Our children are older and away at school during the week, returning on weekends and holidays, which keeps the household rhythm steady and predictable.

We have always valued our household team deeply and treat those who work with us as true extensions of our family. At the same time, we hold high standards: we expect reliability, follow-through, and the kind of quiet professionalism that allows everyone to move through their day without interruption. We have had wonderful, long-tenured household staff in the past, and we are looking to build that same kind of lasting, trusting relationship here in our new home.

We already have a regular home cleaner in place who handles deep cleaning. What we are looking for is someone to take genuine ownership of the day-to-day management of the home. The goal is simple: we should not have to figure out what needs to be done each day. We want the mental load lifted, the house to simply run, and the confidence that comes from knowing it is all being handled.

You are the kind of person who walks into a space, clocks what needs attention, and handles it without being asked twice. You are self-directed, professional, and take genuine pride in a well-run home. You do not require constant check-ins, reminders, or hand-holding. Discretion is not just appreciated in this role but essential. Drama is not in your vocabulary. You communicate clearly and concisely when needed, and otherwise you get things done.

You bring a project manager's mindset to everything from vendor coordination to weekly meal planning, and you are organized enough to juggle multiple moving parts without losing sight of the details. You are comfortable in the kitchen, particularly with simple, health-forward preparations using meal delivery services, and you follow dietary preferences carefully and consistently. Tech-savvy and resourceful, you manage subscriptions, online orders, and household logistics with ease. Above all, you understand that the highest compliment in this role is when the household runs so smoothly it seems effortless.
