Step by step home outsourcing processš
No. I donāt mean giving your kid 10 bucks to mow the front lawn ;)
Or dumping chores on your partner when ājust one more emailā turns into 8pm at the office.
Iām talking about treating your home like a business
Because most people think you just hire a nanny to watch your kids
I didnāt hire a nanny though
I hired a HOUSE MANAGER - and she runs my home
The cool partā¦
Theres no chance that your partner gets upset that you stopped doing housework
Because theyāll get just as much time back (or more)
BUT like any new hire⦠process is key
Align on these and itāll be an easy win:
1. Responsibilities
At the highest level, what is your House Manager responsible for?
Think big: property maintenance, seasonal preparation, vehicle maintenance, event planning, pet careā¦
Doesnāt mean sheās holding a wrench in the driveway swapping winter tires - but she makes it happen.
Even more importantā¦
What are the principles? What does it look like when the house runs smoothly?
- Things are proactively done
- Everything in the house is organized
- Schedules are kept
Then you get specific:
2. Routines
Curveballs happen and you need flexibilityā¦
But for what is predictable, write it down.
List the daily, weekly, monthly, and seasonal routines:
- Pick the kids up at 2:45pm on weekdays?
- Groceries bought and stocked on Mondays?
- Area rugs need cleaning every month?
Always keep it up so thereās never confusion.
Then you get detailed:
3. Preferences
Sometimes you do care HOW something is done - so make it super clear.
Just the other day I was traveling - I get to the hotel and the gym is closed š¤Ø
What did we learn? New preference to set for travel booking.
You can do this with preferred service providers or even your favourite drink that you want in the fridgeā¦
A House Manager doesnāt just give you time backā¦
You get brain power back
+ if youāve got a solid onboarding system, theyāll hit the ground running ;)
Message me on Instagram with the word āHOUSEā š¬
And Iāll send you my complete House Manager Playbook that you can steal from (and share to get your partner on board)
