Personal Assistant And House Manager

Lagos | Monday - Friday, 9am - 6pm; Saturday, half day

Do you love helping children thrive, creating structure and bringing order to a busy day?

A creative founder is looking for a highly organised, thoughtful and resourceful person to support her home and personal life, with particular responsibility for coordinating her ten-year-old son's school, learning and extracurricular schedule.

This role would particularly suit a teacher, tutor or education professional who is excited to bring their skills into a more varied, personal setting, combining an understanding of children with planning, organisation and practical support.

You'll help create an environment where a child can flourish and a busy founder can focus, becoming a trusted presence in the everyday life of the family.

What you'll do

• Coordinate her son's school commitments, lessons, activities and transport, keeping his busy schedule balanced and running smoothly.
• Liaise with teachers, tutors and activity providers, following up on information, materials and upcoming commitments.
• Support homework routines, school preparation and age-appropriate independence, encouraging good habits without doing everything for him.
• Think ahead about what he needs for the coming day and week, from school projects to football kit.
• Manage personal appointments, errands and household logistics.
• Organise belongings, clothing, documents and supplies, creating simple systems that stay organised.
• Coordinate household staff, drivers and service providers, ensuring tasks are completed.
• Keep accurate records of purchases, expenses and outstanding jobs.

Who we're looking for

• A background in teaching, tutoring, education or child development is strongly preferred.
• Experience working with children is essential, alongside a warm manner, patience and clear boundaries.
• Exceptional organisation: you genuinely enjoy a well-planned week, a properly arranged cupboard and the satisfaction of following something through.
• Strong written and spoken English, sound judgement and confident communication.
• Initiative, resourcefulness and the ability to anticipate needs.
• Confidence using digital calendars, spreadsheets and task lists.
• Discretion, reliability and respect for a family's privacy.

Why this could be an exciting next chapter

If you enjoy education but would welcome a role beyond the classroom, this offers the chance to make a meaningful difference in one child's daily life while developing broader skills in personal assistance, household management and operations.

You will work closely with a creative entrepreneur, gaining insight into how a founder organises her life and work, with room to earn greater responsibility as your capabilities grow.
