House Manager & Family Assistant

Sage Haus•Laguna Beach, CA

4d•$35 - $40

About The Position

Hello! We are a lively family of four with two sweet girls (ages 4 and 5.5) and our super chill Siberian Husky, who all keep us laughing and on our toes. We’re both entrepreneurs, so our life is often buzzing with excitement. Both parents work from home, and Dad travels frequently for work. With his regular travel, the family values flexibility, a positive attitude, and support that helps keep daily life running smoothly. We recently made the move to beautiful Laguna Beach and are loving every second of it. We are a family that thrives on adventures, both big and small. When we’re not working, we enjoy traveling with friends and family, checking out local spots, and simply enjoying the sunshine at the beach. We believe in creating a life full of memories, with a focus on gratitude, fun, and making every moment count. We’re looking for someone to help us stay organized amidst our busy schedules. We value reliability, but also a kind, easy-going energy that can adapt to the ebb and flow of our family. We want someone who’s proactive, yet can go with the flow and isn’t afraid to pitch in with whatever needed when things get hectic. If you love kids, have a fun, relaxed vibe, and are comfortable with a large, friendly dog (our Husky is a big softie!), you’ll fit right in with our family dynamic.
