Our family is traveling off and on this spring and we are looking for someone who can commit to housesitting our estate in East Hampton each set of dates. While you are here, you will stay in the main house while assuming 360-degree responsibility of the other houses on the property, keeping a close eye on our home and pets, including our daughters (neighbors) dog while she is traveling with us. When we return intermittently, you are welcome to travel home for longer gaps or stay in our guest house for shorter gaps. We’d really just like someone on-site to stand in our place while we’re gone and provide us with updates. Some tasks may be: meeting with car dealership who is returning a vehicle, overseeing gardeners, landscapers, pool maintenance and housekeepers, receiving packages and sending gifts on certain dates and running errands.

Us and our family friends are traveling to Nantucket for 2 weeks this summer. We need someone to help us with preparation and extra hands while we’re there. Prior: Book dinner reservations, find spa and book, secure beach parking pass, find kid friendly activities, Costco shopping. Arrive 2 days prior with bulk of luggage and dogs. Unpack and sort clothing and toiletries, set up bedrooms and common spaces. Grocery shop and meal prep breakfasts and snacks for first week, shop for house necessities. During: Set out family style breakfast each morning, pack lunches and snacks for beach days, feed and walk dogs, pack cars for beach, keep house tidy, replenish groceries and goods as needed. After: Pack suitcases and necessities, stay 1 day after family departure to close up house per owner instructions, drive back with bulk of luggage and dogs, bring remaining items at house to primary residence for use there.

My private practice office could use some help. I’m not often on-site so things have gone slightly downhill since I’m not always there to keep a close eye on it. At first I’d like you to come in full-time to organize the front desk, back storage room, supplies in each room, be on site for repairs and a deep cleaning and re-vamp the waiting area as it’s looking a bit stale. Once the space is happier and easier to navigate, I’d like to work on a manual for our small team that includes all opening and closing instructions, dress code and general guidelines, a daily to-do list, how to manage leads when they come into the office, etc. This may include training new employees as we’re expecting some turnover before the summer. After we have a fresh space, a clear manual and a fully trained team, I expect to only need a few hours per week of checking in to ensure things are running smoothy, calls are returned, appointments are booked properly, and that the staff is content.

I accidentally sent our Instacart order to our house instead of our vacation address! Please go over and put groceries in refrigerator or freeze for when we return. I also forgot to get a housewarming gift for a party right after our return, budget $200. Please source gift ideas, send to me to decide, pick up and wrap, and have ready by Saturday at 12.

We are looking for a house manager for our 3 properties in Boston, Chatham and Aspen. During the summer we will need 10 hours of support in Boston and Chatham per week, and during the winter we will need 3 weeks of support in Aspen. Tasks could include opening and closing homes for the seasons, preparing houses for primaries or their guests, and managing all aspects of daily operations and coordinating with other team members. Wardrobe maintenance and upkeep, Household inventory and supply maintenance, Walk through of properties, Maintenance and vendor management, Handling budgets/expenses with the business management team, and Vehicle maintenance are all possibilities. You will be a key point of contact for the principals and act as the face of the residence when coordinating events and guest visits.

We’re looking for someone to support us daily. Hours would be flexible but typically 1 hour in the morning and 2 hours in the evening Monday through Thursday. Arrive at family home or office at 10am, pick up packages to be returned, dry cleaning, and review list of to-dos with primary. Later complete errands and return to home, prep for next day, etc. May need extra support around holidays or busy work season.

We are moving houses across the city and quite frankly are too busy with work and our kids to deal with it. We’d like you to come in and help organize our current belongings but then we’d like to leave town while the houses are being transitioned. We’d like you to begin with the original house (1) and help us declutter so we can move lightly. Once House 1 is situated, we will depart. Over the week we are away, please organize all remaining home contents in labeled moving boxes so the movers can move efficiently. Be at new house (2) to show movers where each item goes. At House 2, Unpack and organize entire home, complete grocery and Costco order, and stock home for our return. Source housekeepers and have them out to price services. Meet with garage technician, window cleaners, and interior designer. Back at House 1, please meet with vendors and real estate agent to coordinate repairs, hand off keys, meet with stager and photographer, and ensure deadlines are met for listing House 1.

I am bringing home a new puppy and am afraid I’ve stretched myself too thin as I work in a demanding field. I’m needing daily daycare with additional overnight boarding when I have to travel for work, which is sometimes short notice. I can supply you with duplicates of all of his necessities so he is equipped to stay overnight when needed. I will drop him off daily between 5-9am and pickup between 5-10pm on regular weekdays, my days vary in length. I’ll need someone to handle the admin of booking veterinary visits, grooming appointments and training sessions. I will also need you to maintain training and create a system for me to see what I should be working on when he is with me in accordance with his age and milestones. Basically, I need a 24/7 Puppy-Nanny with the addition of a training manual and admin help for puppy related appointments and logistics.
