Applicant: 33241

Applicant 33241 is a proactive, polished, and highly service-oriented House Manager and private service professional with approximately 15 years of experience overseeing and maintaining multiple residences for HNW and UHNW individuals and families. Her background combines hands-on household and estate management with extensive formal property management experience, allowing her to confidently oversee staff, vendors, maintenance, renovations, household budgets, inventories, events, travel logistics, and complex residential projects.

Throughout her private service career, Applicant 33241 has managed the day-to-day operations of large luxury residences while supporting active families with a wide range of household and lifestyle needs. Her experience includes supervising and scheduling household staff, coordinating vendors and contractors, managing household purchasing and inventories, opening and closing seasonal homes, maintaining household calendars, coordinating events, and providing personal and administrative support. She is equally comfortable managing operations from a high level and rolling up her sleeves to assist with executive housekeeping, meal preparation, organization, personal shopping, wardrobe care and packing, childcare, pet care, and other hands-on needs.

Applicant 33241 describes herself as someone who thrives when she can provide tangible results and make life easier for her principals. In her words, she views her life’s work as “creating a space for her principals to focus on their own priorities” while she takes care of everything else. She is highly adaptable, anticipatory, and accustomed to wearing many hats while maintaining discretion, composure, and consistently high standards. She also brings significant experience overseeing construction, renovation, and relocation projects. Earlier in her career, she served as the Property Manager and General Manager of a luxury residential and mixed-use property in Chicago, giving her a strong foundation in building operations, budgets, vendor contracts, capital improvements, staffing, and long-term property planning. Most recently, Applicant 33241 supported the daily operations of a 14,000-square-foot private estate in Great Falls, Virginia. Her responsibilities included assisting with property maintenance, vendor coordination, household logistics, organizational projects, large-scale fundraising events, wardrobe management, errands, meal preparation, pet care, and hands-on household service. She also spent seven years working as a Cruise and Travel Director for two major cruise lines, where she managed large teams, coordinated events across multiple venues, handled guest communications, and oversaw complex daily operations. Her references describe her as “tenacious,” someone who can “do anything,” “meet the highest standards and expectations,” and “wear many hats while maintaining composure as needs change constantly.” One reference shared that “when she walks into a room, she commands the lead in such a graceful way,” while another stated they would “hire her a million times over.” Applicant 33241 is seeking a long-term House Manager opportunity where she can combine operational oversight with her hands-on, service-driven approach. She is ideally seeking a live-out position in Chicago but is open to relocating for the right live-in or live-out opportunity. She has lived and worked throughout the Midwest and East Coast, is comfortable traveling as needed, and enjoys working in households with children and animals. She is currently seeking approximately $130,000–$180,000 annually, depending on the role, with benefits.
