Supplies & Consumables • Monitor essentials (TP, paper towels, dish soap, cat food, etc.) • Flag low supplies early (No purchasing unless explicitly agreed) ⸻ 8. Household Assistant Support • Small ad-hoc household tasks as requested • Follow prioritized or rotating task lists when provided ⸻ WHAT THIS ROLE DOES NOT INCLUDE • Heavy landscaping or snow removal • Errands or off-site tasks • Purchasing authority without approval ⸻ IDEAL CANDIDATE • Experience in housekeeping or home assistant roles preferred • Trustworthy, punctual, and dependable • Highly organized and detail-oriented • Works independently with minimal oversight • Respects privacy and confidentiality • Comfortable around cats • Physically able to perform light cleaning and outdoor tasks ⸻ SUCCESS IN THIS ROLE LOOKS LIKE • Home feels calm, reset, and “next-day ready” nightly • Kitchen and common areas consistently maintained • Routines handled without reminders • Pets well cared for • Issues flagged early • Minimal supervision required ⸻ 🔑 EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW — WHAT’S MOST IMPORTANT If you want to summarize this in one sentence for candidates: Your top priority is daily home reset and readiness—not deep cleaning. Key non-negotiables: • Consistency > intensity • Attention to detail • Reliability and punctuality • Proactive mindset (see issues early, flag them) • Respect for privacy • Ability to work independently without hand-holding This is a trust-based role designed to make the household run smoothly in the background.
