About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Mornings begin with getting the children ready and driving them to school (close by).
After drop-off, the home is the Family Manager's domain — laundry, tidying, cooking, groceries, errands, weekly planning.
Afternoons include pickup, hockey practice, music lessons, and homework time.
Dinner should be something healthy and genuinely delicious.
Evenings may include playing cards with the kids, or simply being a steady, warm presence in their day.
The Family Manager is the person who knows what's coming up. School forms, doctor visits, hockey tournaments, music lesson make-ups, birthday party RSVPs — it all lives with them, and nothing slips.
They lead communication with the school and teachers.
When something at home needs fixing or maintaining, they find the right vendor, vet them, hire them, and oversee the work — bringing the parents the result, not the process.
