Sage Haus•Bloomington, IN

1d•$28 - $32•Onsite

About The Position

We are a dynamic and lively family of five with three young boys (ages 6, 4, and 1.5) seeking a proactive and organized House Manager to support our busy household. With one parent traveling frequently for work and the other managing the day-to-day at home, we need someone who can take ownership of the logistics and systems that keep our home running smoothly. We’re looking for a partner who can handle the details and fit in seamlessly with our routine, allowing us to focus on quality time with our children and enjoying family life. Our family thrives in an organized and functional home environment, and we appreciate a collaborative approach to managing tasks. The ideal candidate will have a positive, flexible attitude and an ability to adapt to our family's needs, whether it’s meal prep, helping with laundry, or stepping in for light backup childcare when necessary. While we have a weekly cleaner, we need someone who can take charge of household organization, errands, vendor management, and meal preparation. We value clear communication and mutual respect, and we’re excited to find someone who can bring fresh ideas and systems to make our home even more efficient. If you are an experienced, proactive problem-solver who enjoys creating structure in a busy household, we’d love to meet you and explore how we can work together to support our family’s needs.
