Nothing if that is what you are. OP is a nanny and a house manager and that does not entail any housekeeping.

Make sure they don't mean housekeeper

I am a nanny who also manages the house. That does NOT include any kind of housework.

Here's an example of things I need from a house manager:

- greet window guy and get estimate from him
- pick up medication at CVS
- wrap gift for this weekends birthday party
- put away dog food that arrived by mail
- arrange for the storage guys to come pick up boxes
- return library books due Monday
- find out when DD's dr appt is - lost the appt card before inputting it
- order wine to be delivered for party
- ask nanny to take younger DD to ballet class to try it again

Just a fancy name for errand runner. Laundry, dry cleaning,grocery shopping, meal prep.

it depends on the employer.
Ask for a job description. They may need to think about it and create one.

Just talked to a family who wants me to be their nanny 3 days a week, and home manager 2 days a week. I've only ever been a nanny. What responsibilities does a home manager have? I know it's not cleaning, as they have a housekeeper.
