[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

[b]Can you provide more details?[/b] I am trying to see what exactly each task includes. For example, laundry: does it include folding, hanging, ironing, dry cleaning drop off pick ups, putting sheets on the beds?

Meal prep -- did you cook all meals for the family? 
Laying out clothes - I presume this is for children only? Or were you to prepare the outfits for the adults?
Cleaning out fridge, pantry, closets, storage - why these tasks were not done by cleaning lady/crew?

Thank you![/quote]

You know, do a little of your own work. PP wrote a 14 point list and you want her to expand? I guess this is why you need a household manager...[/quote]
