Family Assistant & Household Manager (with Light Meal Prep Support)

Sage Haus•Reno, NV

7d•$25 - $30

About The Position

We are a warm, busy family of four, with two wonderful boys, ages 4 and 6. Our oldest is in 1st grade and our youngest is in preschool. Our household is full of love, energy, and a bit of organized chaos! Mom works Mondays-Thursdays in the office, with Fridays spent working from home. Dad is an ER doctor with a demanding and unpredictable schedule. With all the comings and goings, we need help keeping everything running smoothly. We’re looking for a family assistant to handle the day-to-day needs of our busy household and provide support in areas like meal prep, organizing, and light childcare assistance when needed. Our ideal candidate is warm, reliable, and highly organized. You should be someone who enjoys taking initiative, creating order out of chaos, and has the flexibility to adjust to our ever-changing schedule. You’ll work best in an environment where you can stay a step ahead and handle a wide range of tasks—from keeping the house tidy to managing errands, meal prep, and supporting the kids. We are looking for someone who is comfortable working independently and can contribute to the household in both practical and thoughtful ways, all while maintaining a positive and patient demeanor with the kids.
