House Manager & Family Assistant with Meal Prep

Sage Haus•San Diego, CA

About The Position

We are a warm and busy family, balancing the demands of a fast-paced lifestyle. Dad travels frequently for work, leaving limited time at home, while Mom stays at home and manages the day-to-day operations of the household. With three kids, each with their own unique needs, our family requires a reliable, organized, and proactive partner to help support and manage our busy routine. Beginning this fall, all three children will remain within the same district but will be attending three different schools, making strong scheduling, coordination, and logistical support especially important for our family. Mom is looking for a right hand, someone who can help ease the mental load of running the household, keeping everything running smoothly from meal prep to laundry, errands, and everything in between. This role is essential in maintaining harmony and order in our home, allowing us to spend more quality time together as a family. We value someone who can take initiative, anticipate needs, and collaborate with the family to ensure things stay organized and efficient. Flexibility and dependability are key, as our schedules can shift, especially with Dad’s travel and various family commitments. We are looking for a dedicated, highly organized, and proactive House Manager who thrives in a dynamic, family-oriented environment. You are someone who understands the importance of creating structure and managing logistics in a busy household. You approach tasks with a solution-oriented mindset and have a knack for anticipating needs before they arise. You’re not just a manager — you’re a true partner who communicates clearly, follows through on commitments, and takes pride in keeping things running smoothly. You have a keen eye for detail, whether it's making sure the pantry is well-stocked, coordinating family schedules, or organizing household tasks. You’re also someone who takes initiative and doesn’t need constant direction to keep things on track. Your warmth and patience make you great with children, and your ability to stay calm under pressure helps you juggle the various responsibilities that come with managing a busy household. You understand the rhythm of family life and how to adapt quickly when priorities shift. You’re trustworthy, reliable, and understand the value of being an integral part of the family’s daily routine. Most importantly, you’re looking for a long-term partnership where your contributions are valued and appreciated, and you’ll be a key part of making the home a well-organized, peaceful environment.
