A household manager oversees the day-to-day operations of a private home or estate. Responsibilities include managing household staff, vendor coordination, budgeting, scheduling, procurement, event planning, travel logistics, and ensuring the home runs smoothly and efficiently. They act as a trusted liaison between the family and all service providers.

A household manager typically manages a single primary residence, while an estate manager oversees multiple properties, larger estates, or more complex operational responsibilities including groundskeeping, security, and significant staff management. Premier Nannies Florida places both depending on your needs.

In South Florida, household managers typically earn $60,000–$120,000/year depending on experience, estate size, and scope of responsibility. Estate managers for larger multi-property estates can earn $100,000–$200,000+. The agency placement fee is separate and ranges from $3,200–$3,900.

Some household managers are comfortable with light child oversight as part of a broader role, but dedicated childcare is typically handled by a nanny or governess. If you need both, we can place a household manager and a nanny as a coordinated team — an arrangement we have extensive experience facilitating.
