Part-Time House Manager

Start Date: ASAP
Location: Scarsdale, NY
Compensation: $30–$35 per hour
Schedule: Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM–12:00 PM
Guaranteed Hours: 25 hours per week

A busy, warm Scarsdale family is seeking a part-time, live-out House Manager to bring structure, organization, and calm to their daily routine. The family has two children, ages 5 and 1, and one dog. Both parents work outside the home most days, and they are looking for a proactive self-starter who can step in, anticipate needs, and keep the household running smoothly without needing to be micromanaged.

Mornings start with helping the family get out the door: preparing lunches, walking the dog, and walking the 5-year-old to the bus stop while the parents handle daycare and school drop-off. The rest of the shift is spent on household organization, laundry, light tidying, grocery runs, meal prep, and errands. On days the children are home, the House Manager will also help with childcare. This role suits someone energetic, flexible, and highly organized who enjoys creating systems and taking ownership of a home. This is a long-term position.

Benefits: One week paid vacation, 2 sick days, 2 personal days, 3–6 paid holidays, legal payroll
