How Can a MHM Household Manager Help?

The primary responsibility of a household manager is to create order, establish protocols, and ensure the smooth operation of a household.  A household manager can provide a wide range of services, depending on the needs of each family and household. MHM household managers are perceptive, tech-savvy, discreet, and detail-oriented. Household managers typically have a great deal of experience in managing the day-to-day operations of a household. They are often highly organized and efficient, and they possess excellent time management skills. 

In larger households, a household manager may also be responsible for overseeing the work of other employees, such as nannies or housekeepers. We work to ensure a good fit between household managers and families so you’ll be represented well by the professional you choose.

Often referred to as a family assistant, a nanny/house manager is a versatile professional dedicated to providing comprehensive support for busy families. Unlike traditional nannies or housekeepers, family assistants excel in handling a diverse array of tasks beyond childcare. Typically employed full-time, a nanny/house manager seamlessly manages household duties and errand running while the children are at school, or they work part-time during afternoons and evenings, ensuring smooth transitions to after-school activities.

Many families turn to My Household Managed for expert house manager services when their children outgrow the need for a traditional nanny. Our nanny/house managers, (also known as family assistants) often come from backgrounds as nannies, having advanced in their private service careers. We specialize in identifying exceptional individuals for this role who are ambitious, proactive, and autonomous, yet deeply committed to simplifying their employers' lives.
