Part-Time Personal Assistant & Home Helper

About the Home

This is a private home with a small team of helpers who each support different parts of daily life. From keeping the house in order to working with the people who maintain it. We prefer a calm and quiet environment and value someone who brings patience, understanding, and efficiency to the team.

Working with the team

You won’t be doing this alone. You’ll work alongside other helpers, sometimes on the same day and sometimes picking up where someone else left off. We keep things running smoothly through shared task lists, a shared calendar, and short notes so everyone knows what’s done and what’s next. Good teamwork here looks like checking in, passing along information clearly, and keeping our systems consistent.

What a typical shift looks like

Most shifts start by checking the task list and any notes from the team. From there, your day might include putting the house back in order, following up with a contractor, receiving a delivery, picking something up in town, and spending time in the garden. Tasks are done one at a time and done carefully.

Tasks done frequently:

• Keeping the home organized and returning things to where they belong
• Keeping the shared calendar and appointments up to date
• Being a point of contact for the people who work on the house, like gardeners and repair crews, and following up until projects are finished
• Running errands and handling returns
• Receiving packages, mail, and deliveries
• Tracking household supplies and ordering things when approved
• Keeping simple records of vendors, receipts, and upcoming maintenance
• Tidying, dishes, laundry, and linens
• Trash, compost, and recycling

Occasional Tasks:

• Booking travel/accomodations
• Coordinate/plan events
• Getting rooms ready for guests
• Be able to offer rides and drive the household vehicle for maintenance
