She has worked for us for four years and each year we give her a raise.
She definitely adds a lot of value even though she also has a lot of down time, I’m curious what other HMs are getting paid and if this levels off st some point
Doesn't the basic cost of living go up every year?

I have never heard of a house manager who does the actual cleaning. House managers oversee the housekeeper.
Exactly. A manager has people to manage, besides the child.
As I said, many families hire a nanny/housekeeper, then call her a nanny/household manager. I’ve apppoied for several household manager positions only to interview and figure out what they actually wanted, at which point I ended the interview.
Those parents want a cleaner who agrees to keep an eye on the kids while they unwind and chill on the IPad.

My eyes are popping out of my head because I was doing what you are doing. However, I never really add another title to the one I signed up for....child's nanny. I had one child therefore, when she was at school I oversaw the cleaning people, painters, plumber, air conditioner, heating and everyone and his uncle. In addition to my other chores. And I even walked the out of town family members' dog when they came to visit. I am not complaining though, God is good.

I think house manager means 'in charge of managing the household'. So I coordinate with the cleaners, any maintenance people, and do most of the buying of household supplies
About how old are the kids?

I'm a nanny/house manager. The kids are older, so it's more "managing"' at this point. I pick them up from school, transport them to activities, oversee homework and projects. They have a housekeeper come twice a week to do the major cleaning, and I keep things tidy in between. I also stay on top of the kids to make sure they are picking up after themselves.
I handle all of the grocery shopping, errands, and coordinating with vendors or other household help. I pretty much do everything that the parents would be doing if they were home. It really varies day to day.
