About Our Family

We are a private family based in the Maitland / Winter Park area seeking an exceptional Personal Assistant / House Manager to become a trusted, long-term right hand in our home. We are building a peaceful, highly organized, and efficiently run household and are looking for someone who thrives in creating order, anticipating needs, solving problems, and bringing calm to dynamic environments.

We currently have one beloved dog and will soon be adding a Golden Retriever to the family. We are welcoming our first child at the end of this year and plan to have more children in the future. This role is focused on household operations, personal assistance, logistics, and family support. You will work closely with us to keep our home, schedules, and daily life running seamlessly.

Because every week looks a little different, we're looking for someone who enjoys variety and is comfortable shifting priorities as needs arise. Some days may focus on household organization and administrative tasks, while others may involve coordinating appointments, preparing for guests, managing travel logistics, supporting extended family members, or stepping in wherever an extra set of capable hands is needed. Flexibility, sound judgment, and the ability to independently prioritize are essential to success in this role.

This is not simply an assistant role — it is a lifestyle management position for someone who takes pride in creating a well-run home and becoming a trusted partner over time.

Who You Are / What We're Looking For

You are intelligent, proactive, emotionally mature, and highly capable. You can read a room, anticipate needs before they’re spoken, and solve problems independently. You’re a self-starter—resourceful, detail-oriented, and highly trustworthy—with a calm, steady presence under pressure.

You are patient, grounded, and adaptable during high-pressure moments. You don’t take things personally, and you operate with professionalism, discretion, and grace—warm and respectful while always maintaining appropriate boundaries and confidentiality.

You are an excellent communicator who keeps everyone aligned without being overbearing. You value autonomy, feedback, and long-term growth, and you take pride in building loyalty and consistency over time—someone who can grow with a family long-term and become an indispensable part of a well-run household.

What Success Looks Like

Your role is to make life feel lighter, smoother, and more organized. You create systems, reduce friction, solve problems before they escalate, and help maintain a home environment where our family can thrive.

We are looking for excellence, loyalty, and long-term partnership that will grow with our family— someone who will truly become an integral part of our family’s success.
