For many Chicago households, the moment arrives seemingly out of nowhere. You buy property, get a promotion, have a couple of kids, and suddenly your weekends are full of what-ifs and get-aheads. The home now needs someone to run it, so the natural next step seems to be hiring a house manager.
What a house manager does
A house manager runs the operations of a private home: staff, vendors, schedules, maintenance, and everything in between. In the best households it is the role that makes everything work.
What hiring a house manager involves
To hire a house manager is to become an employer. Payroll, insurance and benefits. Recruiting, often for months. Training to your household’s standards. Covering vacations, illness, and the day they move on (and the knowledge of your home leaves with them). You manage the person who is meant to manage everything else.
Another way to run the home
Rosey provides private household management in Chicago through a dedicated Household COO. They are the operational lead of your home, supported by a company rather than standing alone.
| Hiring a house manager | Rosey | |
|---|---|---|
| Employment | You become the employer: payroll, insurance, benefits | Rosey employs, trains, and stands behind every person who serves your home |
| Coverage | One person, with gaps for vacation, illness, and departure | A Household COO with the depth of a team behind them |
| Continuity | When they leave, the knowledge of your home leaves too | Your household's systems are documented and held by Rosey |
| Search | Months to recruit, and again when they move on | Every engagement begins with a single assessment |
| Oversight | You manage the manager | Rosey manages the outcome |
Who this suits
Rosey serves households in Lincoln Park, the Gold Coast, and the North Shore that want what an exceptional house manager delivers (a home that runs itself) without taking on the role of the employer.
For households that already employ staff, Rosey brings them into one system, under one point of contact.
Every engagement begins with understanding the household.
