Full-Time House Manager & Family Assistant

Sage Haus•St. Louis, MO

5d•$32 - $38

About The Position

We are a busy, engaged family of five relocating from Boston to the St. Louis area in summer 2026. Our family includes three children—ages 11, 9, and 4—who will each be attending different schools and participating in a variety of activities. Both parents work full-time in demanding, often unpredictable roles, which means schedules can shift and require flexibility. Mom will be working largely from home office during the first year in St. Louis, but with occasional travel back to Boston for work. With no established local support network in St. Louis, we’re looking for a trusted partner to help manage the day-to-day logistics of family life. Our home is warm and structured, and we value routine, communication, and mutual respect. We keep a kosher household and are happy to provide clear guidance for anyone unfamiliar with those practices. This role is a blend of household management and active family support, ideal for someone who enjoys working with children, managing moving pieces, and helping a busy home run smoothly behind the scenes.
