[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a household manager for 12 years and have been recruiting, screening, and placing them with families for 6+ years through my agency.

It depends if this will be a nanny/household manager hybrid role or strictly household manager, but in general the duties encompass everything to keep the home running and organized outside of actual deep cleaning (which is housekeepers/cleaning lady duties). Typical duties includes:
Errands
Organizational tasks (cleaning out fridge, pantry, closets, storage)
Booking appointments
Managing routine home and car maintanence
Groceries/stocking household items
Meal prep
Planning and booking (vacations, kids activities, vendors, contractors, etc)
Seasonal tasks (Christmas cards, gift shopping, wrapping, decorating, making sure kids have seasonally appropriate gear)
Vets/grooming appts/feeding/walking pets
Sorting and donating clothes/toys
Managing family/school calendars
Packing lunches/laying out clothes for the next day
Generally putting things back in their places
Laundry

What does meal prep included? Do you also worked as a full time chef, making 3 meals per day? That sounds like a lot of work for $130,000.[/quote]

As house manager you also manage the staff- the repairman, landscaper, chef, and transportation people. So you manager the schedule and call them when you see a need.

If the family is seeing repairs not get addressed and they need to tell you to handle it (mental load), you will be fired.

You need an owner operator mindset not a check the box one. [/quote]
