About the Household:
The household is a small, tight-knit one located in San Antonio, TX. The homeowner has two cats that are an important part of the family. The homeowner works remotely most days and has occasional travel for work. With a busy schedule, the household is seeking a dependable partner to help manage day-to-day tasks. The ideal candidate will thrive in an environment where organization, flexibility, and independent problem-solving are key. The goal is to cultivate a home that feels intentional, calm, and well-maintained, with someone who takes pride in keeping things in order and freeing up space for more meaningful time.
Who You Are / What We’re Looking For:
You are a seasoned household professional who is naturally drawn to the details of running a home well. You notice what needs attention, take initiative, and follow tasks through to completion without requiring step-by-step direction. This is not a learn-as-you-go position. You bring established judgment, practical household experience, and the ability to work independently from the start.
You understand that true support begins with learning how the homeowner wants things done. You ask thoughtful questions, retain preferences, and carry them forward consistently rather than substituting your own methods. If a problem arises, you take ownership of resolving it without shifting the burden back to the homeowner.
You are also systems-minded and can help build and document recurring household routines, including weekly, quarterly, and annual tasks. You communicate clearly, flag decisions that genuinely require input, and otherwise keep things moving behind the scenes. Because this is a focused 10 to 15-hour-per-week role, strong prioritization and efficient execution are essential.
Ideally, you have substantial experience with meal planning and preparation, household organization, vendor coordination, and general home upkeep. You must also be tech-savvy, reliable, responsive to feedback, and comfortable around cats. Above all, your work should consistently reduce the homeowner’s mental load and create more time for him to enjoy his home.
