Female Bilingual (Mandarin & English) Household Manager & PA- Live-i

We are seeking a proactive, mature, bilingual Live-in Family PA to support a very busy CEO with household, child, and professional needs.

Primary responsibility (number one priority): family and household support. The successful candidate will take ownership of the household environment, provide reliable support for an 8-year-old child, and act as a calm, capable adult presence in the home. This is not a nanny-only role, but the household and family needs come first.

The role is approximately 50% family/child/household support and 50% professional support. Cooking and deep cleaning are not required (a housekeeper is in place), but the candidate must liaise with the housekeeper and coordinate household activities.

This is a long-term, live-in position for someone who values stability, initiative, and trust.

• Ensure the household runs smoothly, anticipate needs, and resolve minor issues independently

• Provide a reliable, responsible adult presence in the home, supporting the principal’s wellbeing

Note: Cooking and deep cleaning are handled by the housekeeper. This role focuses on coordination, oversight, and proactive household management, as well as supporting the principal’s comfort and organisation.

Professional / PA Support (≈50%)
