Support that gets you your time back—offloading mental to-do lists, erasing endless reminders, and giving you back that precious time to really rest, not just play catch-up. House Managers and Family Assistants carry the load of daily life—whether part-time, full-time, or alongside a nanny—so you can actually live it, staying present with what matters instead of being absorbed by laundry and handling dinner.
Making your home run smoothly, emptying your evenings of tasks, and opening up your weekends again, House Managers and Family Assistants are there to make home-life easier, so you can tackle everything else.
Because you shouldn’t have to do it all alone.
“Local Bozeman family here! We have been using Four O Six Nannies for the past year, and could not be happier with their services.
Our full time nanny placement became like family to us [boys were just in her wedding!] and was the perfect fit. We had a year contract with her and knew she would be going off to school and in the interim, and Four O Six has provided the most wonderful Nanny/House Manager to help us in our day-to-day, as well as with kids. In addition to this, we use their online booking service for babysitters on date nights, etc., and have had wonderful luck. Would not hesitate to recommend this biz to anyone!”

House Manager
A house manager keeps your home running smoothly behind the scenes—errands, grocery runs, meal prep, maintenance scheduling, vendor communication, and household systems, making everyday life less chaotic.
They also help oversee staff, coordinate travel or events, and manage secondary properties—letting fewer things fall on your plate in the first place. Handling it all, so you don’t have to.
Family Assistant
A family assistant takes the everyday chaos off your to-do list—rrands, groceries, dry cleaning, and simple meal prep, coordinatione with teachers, coaches, and appointments, travel, pets, and household projects.
They make sure all the little things get done, —so you can focus on showing up for your family instead of juggling it all.

What the Placement Fee Actually Covers
To secure your house manager or family assistant placement, your investment begins with a $1,000 non-refundable retainer for us to commit a dedicated search on your behalf, hold your spot in our process, and begin the work of finding your person—one that directly goes toward your final placement fee of 13% of your candidate’s annual salary. That covers everything you need it to—sourcing, screening, interviews, reference calls, background checks, and the judgment built from our ten years of knowing candidates well enough to place them with absolute confidence.
It’s the work you don’t see, and the confidence you do.
Which means you stop checking her profile wondering if she’s really who she said she was. You stop bracing for the conversation where something doesn’t work out. You stop carrying the weight of a decision you hope you made well.
Every house manager and family assistant is screened to the same standard as our nannies — nationwide background checks, reference calls, internet screening, and multiple interviews. We don’t place anyone we wouldn’t trust in our own homes.
