House Manager & Family Assistant Employment Type: Part time, 15-20 hours per week Schedule: Monday through Friday; Flexible daytime hours between 9:00am-4:00pm. Occasional evening availability is appreciated.

Compensation: $30-$35 CAD per hour Start Date: ASAP Valid driver's license and reliable personal vehicle; Comfortable with dogs. Both parents work locally running a family business, and while the commute is short, our days are full. We're in and out of the office, in the community, and doing our best to give our two young children the focused, present evenings they deserve.

Mornings are a hustle of breakfast, drop-offs, and getting everyone out the door on time. Evenings are for dinner, kids' activities like soccer and swimming lessons, and, when we're lucky, a quiet moment on the couch. What we're missing is someone to bridge the gap between the morning chaos and the evening calm — to set us up for success so we're not scrambling when we walk in the door.

We already have a cleaner who comes weekly for the essentials, and our kids are in school and daycare full time. This role is less about childcare and more about keeping the home humming: laundry that's actually folded and put away, dinner components prepped and ready to assemble, surfaces reset, and the mental load lifted a little. She has a regular walker during the week, but we'd love someone who's comfortable with dogs and happy to help when needed.

We're not looking to add another person to manage. You're the kind of person who doesn't need a to-do list handed to you every morning. You're comfortable with dogs, at ease around children if they happen to be home,



and you operate with quiet professionalism.

Prior formal house manager experience isn't required — what matters most to us is good judgment, initiative, and the kind of dependability that lets a family breathe a little easier.
