House Manager / Family Assistant

Sage Haus•Centennial, CO

5d•$33 - $38•Onsite

About The Position

We are a warm, energetic household based in the south Denver suburbs, home to three spirited kids who keep life full and moving. Our days are shaped by school schedules, after-school activities, and the beautiful chaos that comes with raising curious, high-energy children. Our kids are involved in a packed lineup of activities, including Irish dance, tennis, swimming, tee ball, rock climbing, and more. They thrive on routine, encouragement, and having engaged adults in their corner. We are a single-parent household navigating a meaningful season of transition together. Mom is balancing a career pivot, coursework, and the day-to-day responsibilities of creating a stable, joyful home for my three young children. We are fortunate to be surrounded by a caring neighborhood community that has supported our family through this chapter. My children’s schedules are intentionally full, helping them stay engaged, connected, and active, and I am looking for an extra set of hands to help keep their activities, routines, and the overall flow of our home moving smoothly. We have local cleaning support twice a month, but what we truly need is a steady, reliable presence during the evening hours and on Sundays—someone who can help us feel prepared, organized, and cared for as a family unit. We are looking for someone who sees this role as more than a job. We want a person who brings calm to the chaos, structure to the week, and genuine warmth to our home. Our household runs best when things are in their place, meals are ready, and the kids feel seen and supported. If you love the energy of a busy family home and bring a natural sense of order and creativity to everything you do, you will fit right in here.
