Household Management in Chicago

Rosey provides private household and estate management across Lincoln Park, the Gold Coast, and the North Shore. Your Household COO is part house manager, part estate manager, part project manager: overseeing calendars, vendors, staff, and travel, so nothing depends on your attention.

What a Rosey Life Looks Like

  • A home that runs itself.
    The contractor is scheduled before you notice the problem. Seasonal maintenance happens without a conversation. Repairs don’t wait, and every vendor who enters your home is sourced, vetted, and supervised to one standard.

  • The hands, held to your standard.
    Laundry, meal preparation, grocery shopping, and organization: handled by Rosey’s own trained staff, directed by your Household COO. Existing housekeepers, nannies, and household staff are brought into the same system. Every person who serves your home answers to one point of contact.

  • School pickups, service visits, appointments, and activities: synchronized across the household and managed without your involvement. No overlaps, no mental load carried into the weekend.

  • Never run out of anything again.
    Pantry staples, pet food, paper goods, and household essentials: replenished before you notice they’re low. We build the system, maintain it, and you never think about it again.

  • Life’s largest projects, managed.
    The renovation coordinated and supervised. The move handled from first box to first night. The new home set up and running before you arrive. Every trade, timeline, and decision held in one place.

  • Every occasion, impeccably hosted.
    The caterer is confirmed. The florals are ordered. The backup plan exists. From a birthday dinner to a full holiday gathering, you arrive as the host, not the coordinator.

  • Travel without the headache.
    Flights booked. Reservations secured. Hidden gems researched, vetted, and added to your itinerary. Your home prepared while you’re away and reset for your return.

  • The quiet work.
    Dry cleaning collected. Returns handled. Prescriptions picked up. The small obligations that accumulate across a week simply disappear: because someone who knows your household is already on it.

One Household COO. A Team Behind It.

Rosey is not a rotation of on-demand help. Each household is led by a dedicated Household COO: a single relationship that gets better the longer it runs, with a depth of a full team behind it.

Where We Work

Rosey serves households in Lincoln Park, the Gold Coast, Old Town, Streeterville, and the North Shore, including Winnetka, Wilmette, Kenilworth and Glencoe.

How We Engage

Every household is different. Our three tiers reflect the level of involvement, complexity, and on-site presence your home requires.

Entry

For households that want steady, reliable support while staying closely involved in day-to-day decisions. A structured foundation without full delegation.

Residency

For households ready to hand off meaningful operational responsibility. More active management, regular presence, and a higher degree of independence in how we work.

Estate

For households that want complete oversight handled. You set the standard once. We maintain it - without prompts, check-ins, or follow-up required from you.

Every engagement is scoped based on your household specifically. The first step is understanding what you need.
