• Accompany the principals on extended stays (typically 3–8 weeks) in the U.S., Europe, and Canada.

• Manage check-ins/check-outs, troubleshoot property issues, and liaise with hosts or management.

• Research destinations, book restaurants, wellness appointments, and cultural activities in advance.

• Handle all travel documentation with precision — DOBs, TSA PreCheck, passports, and visa details — ensuring accuracy.

Household & Property Operations

• Ensure homes remain organized, clean, and functional whether occupied or vacant.

• Track household expenses, utilities, and maintenance budgets.

• Track personal projects, goals, and to-dos in Asana, keeping tasks current and visible.

• Run errands, schedule personal appointments, and manage recurring administrative tasks.

• Ensure all messages and communications are cleared by week's end, with no lingering open loops.

Qualifications & Lifestyle Fit
