Household Manager

About HUM Home

HUM Home exists to support the people who make homes work.

We place Household Managers in roles that truly fit their skills, values, and season of life. We take the time to understand what kind of home environment you thrive in, the hours you want to work, and the type of family you want to support.

Beyond placement, HUM provides guidance, structure, and best practices that make your work easier and more fulfilling, plus a community of other household professionals, so you’re never doing this work alone.

This is a role for someone who sees a home as a living system.

You walk into a home and immediately know what needs to happen next. You reset spaces without being asked. You create structure where things used to feel reactive. You take pride in laundry done correctly, kitchens that flow, and homes that return to calm every single day.

What You’ll Be Doing Each Day

• Daily reset: kitchen, common areas, bedrooms as needed

• Laundry management: wash, fold, put away (correctly)

• Organization maintenance (home already has systems; you help maintain and improve them)

• Restocking and inventory awareness (pantry, fridge, supplies, household goods)

• Errands as needed (grocery runs, household pickups

• Prep weekly lunches, protein shakes, and ingredients

• Coordinate vendors as needed (cleaners, repairs, services)

• Vehicle support at a coordination level (car wash, refueling/charging, oil change coordination)

• Light pet support (let dogs out/in, kibble, basic routine)

You Are

You take pride in how a space feels not just how it looks.
