About the Role

- Prepare straightforward meals and snacks for the children and principal.
- Run errands and make returns.
- Order or pick up household and personal items.
- Keep track of small to-dos and research straightforward purchases or services.
- Organize belongings for weekends away or travel.
- Make simple reservations or arrangements.
- Manage miscellaneous personal projects and keep useful information organized.
- Help the principal stay ahead of practical details.
- Assist with everyday household reset tasks, including tidying common areas and cleaning up after meals or activities.
- Accompany the principal on short professional travel trips.
- Assist with logistics for weekends away from Manhattan and potential upstate travel.
Requirements
