With the last few years looking anything but ‘normal’ when it comes to work schedules, it has become more common to see many individuals work remotely or follow more of a hybrid schedule with part of the work being in the office and the rest at home.
A recent report by Resume Builder, which surveyed 1,000 company leaders, showed that approximately 90% of companies plan to implement in-person work policies by the end of 2024.
So, if you anticipate that your job will start requiring more in-person work, you might be discussing what options are best for your home when it comes to childcare and household chores.
Here are some options that can help you better juggle your work and home duties, so you can find success in both arenas.
#1: Start your search for a nanny or family assistant.
Whether it’s taking the kids to and from school or after school activities or sports practice, staying at home to care for the baby, or a combination of all of these important duties, hiring a nanny or family assistant can be a lifesaver. Having a caring professional work with your children in your absence will help offset some of the stress you might feel having to be in multiple places at once.
Some nannies can also help with laundry and cooking or household organization, so you don’t have to come home to a huge mess. An additional helping hand truly will go a long way.
#2: Hire a long-term housekeeper.
A housekeeper will not only transform your home into a sparkling, clean place, but regular housekeeping will also help you feel less cluttered mentally. A long day at the office? The last thing you want to do after work or a hectic commute is mop your floors, do the dishes, or scrub the bathroom. Cleaning your home takes energy that you simply might not have after a full day of meetings or work in the office.
An experienced professional housekeeper will keep things clean and maintained daily, organized, and fresh. No matter what level of cleaning your home needs – a full-time live-in housekeeper, or a part time house cleaner that comes weekly – we can help place the right qualified professional in your home.
#3: Consider appointing a chief of staff.
If you own a large private estate or business, or you are a business executive who needs a higher level of assistance in overseeing the challenges and complexities of your estate or business, a chief of staff could be a great option. This employee manages privacy and security efforts, oversees home or business maintenance, and can also be your go-to person to manage your estate’s budget and expenses.
Other duties may include planning vacations or business trips, coordinating events at your home or off-site, hiring, training and supervising other staff who work in your home, managing your fleet of vehicles or boats, and developing work agreements or manuals for your staff. This is a highly detailed position that requires someone who is a strong leader with experience in business and project management.
You may even want to consider hiring someone who has education related to money, finance, or business. Your estate is uniquely you and requires discretion. Dedication from the right person can be invaluable, so you can focus on in-person work and advancing your career.
