What is a House Manager ?

1/21/2021

0 Comments

 
It is always a challenge to manage everything that needs to be taken care in your home. When you are married and both are working, then you add children, pets, or a disabled family member, it becomes nearly impossible. For these reasons, many people are seeking the help of a house manager to help ease the pressure of running a home and possible work responsibilities.

Duties of a House Manager

A house manager does not just work for a large family estate. They can work for couples, individuals, or a busy small family size. As a career, a house manager manages how things run within the employer’s home.

Duties of a house manager will vary depending on what each owner will require. For an example, in a large home, the household manager may have more intensive managerial duties.

Managers may be required to keep the home well maintained, plan the menus, keep family travel schedules, or oversee other employees like gardeners, contractors, pet care workers, and maintenance employees.

In small homes where the family is too busy to manage their home, a house manager might be responsible for shopping for groceries while occasionally cooking for the family. A house manager may need to run errands, coordinate young children and their schedules, light household chores like laundry and cleaning assignments.
​

House Manager Skills

Please note that a house manager is not a babysitter or a domestic cleaning employee. A house manager has far more reaching responsibilities for private residences. Their domestic duties are varied in nature as they help in maintaining different aspects of the home.

A qualified house manager possesses many skills. They must have excellent social skills and communication skills. They have managerial or administrative skills, practical technical skills and must show dedication. House managers must be flexible to accommodate schedule changes and they must show a great deal of discretion.

Benefits of hiring a house manager

Hiring a house manager helps homeowners to manage their stress levels in taking care of children, pet, and chores of the home. With a house manager in charge, your assistant will help manage your daily to-do lists. Homeowners have more free time when they have a trusting individual handling schedules, planning events, taking care of errands, and so much more.

A qualified and experienced house manager helps to keep your home operating smoothly. Hiring a house manager allows homeowners the opportunity to worry less about minute details and enjoy your family more.
​

Home Manager Qualifications
Depending on the lifestyle of homeowners, house managers can live at home with the family or travel back and forth. Experienced and career house managers enjoy this line of work because it affords them to work for a lovely family in the suburbs to palatial estates or even the White House.

The only age requirement is that the individual must be 18 years of age. House managers were once a nearly all female career. However, today a house manager can be either female or male as long as they have the necessary skills and qualifications for that particular home.
