House Manager & Family Assistant

Sage Haus•The Woodlands, TX

7d•Onsite

About The Position

We are a busy, values-driven family of four based in The Woodlands, Texas — and we run full speed, almost always. Both parents work from home in demanding careers that require frequent travel, sometimes at the same time. Our two daughters are active, energetic, and deeply embedded in the basketball world — practices, games, and tournaments are a constant rhythm of our week. Dad coaches one daughter's team, Mom coaches the other, and basketball is simply part of who we are as a family. Our home is warm, loud in the best way, and full of love — including from our two friendly dogs who are very much part of the household. We care deeply about kindness, service, and treating every person with dignity and respect — regardless of race, background, or identity. We try to live those values in practical ways, and we’re passionate advocates for justice and the underserved. We are also a family navigating ongoing health challenges, so having strong household systems and dependable support is especially important to us. We're looking for someone who brings calm, flexibility, and a proactive mindset—someone who can help keep our home running smoothly through both everyday routines and periods that require a little extra support. When we find good help, they become part of our family. We are looking for someone who wants that kind of relationship too.

Nice To Haves

You are warm, a little sarcastic, and genuinely fun to be around — but you also get things done.
You have strong common sense and street smarts, and you don't wait to be told what needs attention.
You notice things, you think ahead, and you aren't shy about offering a suggestion or a better idea when you have one.
You take initiative and look for ways to make a home feel more harmonious, not just cleaner.
You are patient and comfortable spending time with kids — our younger daughter will often be around, and she needs someone who matches her energy and makes her feel at ease.
You are also emotionally intelligent and deeply empathetic.
You understand that chronic illness is unpredictable, and you show up the same way — without judgment — whether it's a great day or a hard one for the family.
You are comfortable in a home where faith is part of the conversation, even if it's not part of your own life.
And you are someone who genuinely believes in treating every person with dignity and respect — because so do we.
