Sage Haus • Tigard, OR

5d • $30 - $35

About The Position

We are a warm and caring family navigating a new season of life together, with two adult children living at home. Our daughter is recovering from a severe back injury, which has resulted in some permanent changes. As she transitions back to independent living, she requires mobility support (using a wheelchair or walker at times). While she is highly independent, we need help managing her medical appointments and organizing her space as she works toward greater independence. Our home is nut-free due to severe nut allergies, and safety in this regard is a top priority. We are also in the midst of moving to a new home and are looking for someone to help establish better organizational systems, assist with meal preparation, and support our ongoing caregiving needs. Our chocolate lab, almost 2 years old, is an important part of the family and needs regular walks and occasional care. As a family, we value mutual support and are seeking someone who can become an integral part of our household. We are looking for a person who can contribute with warmth, patience, and flexibility as we navigate this new chapter in our lives. We are seeking a compassionate, warm, and proactive House Manager and Family Assistant to help maintain a smooth, organized household while supporting family needs.

The ideal candidate will take initiative, be reliable, and approach the role with a calm, understanding demeanor. You should be flexible, empathetic, and open to learning about the unique challenges of our family.
