"House managers are not a nanny or a house cleaner. They're a 'chief of staff for the home,' a 'personal assistant for Mom,' and 'a clone of myself,' according to the more than a dozen people I spoke with who have either hired one or work as one."
"The ultra-wealthy have maintained some version of this role in their homes for years, but more and more companies are cropping up to serve Americans with salaries in the lower six figures—a cohort that is nowhere near having a private jet but might already use a house cleaner or have a regular handyman."
House managers perform a variety of household tasks, including laundry, meal prep, and errands, acting as a personal assistant for families. They differ from nannies and cleaners, serving as a chief of staff for the home. This role has evolved from traditional housekeepers, becoming more common among middle- and upper-class families. While the ultra-wealthy have long employed house managers, a growing number of companies are catering to those in the lower six-figure income bracket, recognizing the value of time over money in managing household responsibilities.
