After-school Nanny and Household Manager

Sage Haus•Portland, OR

11d•$31 - $35•Onsite

About The Position

We are a busy, active family of five living in the West Hills, juggling two demanding careers while raising three young daughters (6, 4, and 2). Dad travels frequently for work, while Mom has recently returned to work after spending the summer at home with the girls. As we navigate this transition, we're looking forward to finding a new rhythm that allows us to balance our professional responsibilities while still being present for the little moments that matter most. Our daughters are sweet, playful, and full of energy, and our days are filled with activities, routines, and the everyday adventures of raising a young family. We love encouraging our girls' curiosity, creativity, and growing independence, whether they're enjoying imaginative play, spending time outdoors, or participating in activities like swim lessons. We also follow a no-screen-time philosophy at home, with the exception of music and stories, and prioritize hands-on play, meaningful connection, and opportunities for our girls to explore the world around them. We're looking for an extra set of capable, caring hands to help keep our household running smoothly particularly in the afternoon and evenings. We have a weekly housekeeper, so our greatest need is support with the day-to-day rhythm of family life, from transporting the girls to their activities and maintaining consistent routines to keeping things organized and managing the little tasks that can easily pile up. We value professionalism, reliability, and quiet competence, and appreciate someone who can take initiative, anticipate needs, and confidently manage responsibilities without needing constant direction. We're looking for someone who can become a trusted, long-term partner to our family, bringing consistency, initiative, and care to our household while growing alongside us as our needs evolve.
