House Manager & Family Assistant (with Meal Prep Support)

Sage Haus•Coto De Caza, CA

4d•$30 - $35•Onsite

About The Position

We are a lively, active family with twin 9-year-old boys who keep us on our toes. We have a warm, bright home, and value structure and organization to keep everything running smoothly. We work hard to make sure there’s always a positive, calm mood in the house, and we’re looking for someone who can help us maintain that balance. One parent works a flexible schedule, primarily from home, while the other has a global role with frequent travel, which makes it essential to have someone who can step in and take charge of the household when needed. With the kids in school, we want someone who can handle the day-to-day tasks—meal prep, household organization, running errands, and supporting the boys with their after-school activities. Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who will feel like a true part of the family. We value long-term commitment, and we want someone who can take on responsibility with ease while keeping the mood light and the house running like clockwork. We’re looking for someone who is highly organized, proactive, and thrives in a fast-paced household. You excel at managing the day-to-day operations of a home, from meal prep and household management to keeping everything neat, organized, and running smoothly. You’ll take charge of tasks like planning and preparing healthy, delicious meals, ensuring the family’s schedule is maintained, and handling everything from laundry to vendor coordination. Meal prep is a key part of the role, so you’ll need to be comfortable creating balanced, family-friendly meals and snacks. Beyond just managing tasks, we’re looking for someone who can bring a positive, can-do attitude to every aspect of the role. You’ll keep the home feeling light, organized, and full of good energy. Whether it’s preparing for a family event, tackling a last-minute task, or just maintaining the overall household vibe, your upbeat and calm demeanor along with your attention to detail will help set the tone in the home. We need someone who is flexible, adaptable, and knows how to read the room—whether it’s stepping in to help with something unexpected or making sure everyone feels supported. The ideal candidate is someone who is reliable, has great energy, and enjoys contributing to the overall happiness and smooth functioning of the family. You’re a self-starter who anticipates needs and embraces the evolving nature of family life, always with a smile and positive attitude. You’ll be a trusted partner in the home, helping to create an environment where everyone feels organized, supported, and at ease.
