House Manager & Family Assistant

Sage Haus•San Antonio, TX

3d•$25 - $30

About The Position

We are a warm, energetic, and dynamic family of five with three children (ages 7, 5, and 3) and a joyful, busy household. We also have beloved pets, two large dogs and a parakeet. Our older children attend school full-time, and our youngest attends preschool part-time. Both parents run businesses and work a mix of from-home and outside-the-home schedules. We have reliable childcare support, but we are looking for a proactive teammate who can support home operations, bring calm structure to our days, and help us stay ahead — especially with laundry, organization, meal support, and routines. We value kindness, efficiency, and great communication — and we love someone who brings joy, warmth, and a can-do attitude into the home. You are patient, organized, and efficient — someone who communicates clearly, follows through, and works independently. You have excellent attention to detail and a proactive mindset: you notice what needs to be done before being asked. You bring a calm, joyful energy to your work and approach family life with discretion, warmth, and professionalism.
