Family Assistant & House Manager

Sage Haus•Los Angeles, CA

4d•$32 - $36•Onsite

About The Position

We are a vibrant and warm family of four living in beautiful Sullivan Canyon, an equestrian community in Brentwood, Los Angeles. After losing our home in the devastating Palisades fire, we are rebuilding our life with a strong sense of resilience and togetherness. Our family includes two amazing kids - an artistic and independent 11-year-old, and a 9-year-old bundle of energy who loves to be active and engaged. We also have a menagerie of beloved pets: four horses (no care needed), a playful puppy, an older calm and loyal dog, and a cat. Both of us work from home—one runs a travel company and manages rental properties, while the other is busy with the demanding task of managing grandma’s care. Between caregiving, work, and kids, we could really use some help! We’re looking for someone who can bring organization, care, and energy to our home, assist with errands, help with paperwork, and occasionally be a second pair of hands for childcare. Our home is already supported by a cleaning service, but we need someone who can step in to handle the rest, keeping things running smoothly and giving us more time to focus on family. We’re a family that treats those who help us like part of our own team. Everyone who works with us is considered an important member of the household, and we value honesty, warmth, and reliability. We’re seeking a dynamic, warm, and proactive person who will help us stay organized, keep things running smoothly, and bring a positive, energetic vibe to our home. This person should have high emotional intelligence, be a self-starter, and excel at multitasking. You’ll be comfortable jumping in to help with a variety of tasks, from errands and organizing paperwork to helping with the kids’ school pickups and drop-offs. You will play a key role in supporting our family’s busy life and ensuring we have the structure and systems in place that allow us to thrive. The ideal person will be organized, detail-oriented, and capable of reading the room—anticipating what needs to be done and jumping in without needing constant direction. You’ll need to have energy and patience to interact with our kids, especially our son, who thrives with active engagement. A can-do attitude is essential, and you’ll need to be ready to pitch in wherever necessary! If you can speak German, that’s a wonderful bonus since our family practices it at home, and if you are open to housesitting when we travel, even better! This is a unique opportunity to join a family that values long-term relationships and wants to create a supportive, team-oriented environment. We’re hoping to find someone who is genuinely excited to contribute, has a nurturing spirit, and can truly become a part of our family dynamic.
