House Manager / Family Assistant

Sage Haus•Littleton, CO

9d•$32 - $38•Onsite

About The Position

We are a busy, health-conscious family of four with two young daughters — a baby (1.5) and a toddler (4) — who bring lots of energy, personality, and joy to our home. Both parents work full-time, and we care deeply about creating a home that feels healthy, organized, and calm, even when life gets busy. We have strong systems in place and value thoughtful routines that help our family feel our best. Our kids are both in school during the day, but the afternoon and evening is where we need the most support. We’re looking for someone who can become a trusted part of our routine — handling school pickups, getting the children home safely, settling into the afternoon rhythm, and helping everything transition smoothly through dinner and the end of the workday. A weekly service provides prepared meals and housekeeping comes bi-weekly, allowing this role to focus primarily on our kids and creating a more seamless evening for everyone. We love spending time together as a family and want someone who genuinely enjoys being around young children. Our younger daughter has a severe soy allergy, so attentiveness and care around food handling is essential. Our older daughter is social, curious, and loves conversation and connection. If you are warm, playful, dependable, and take pride in creating calm, healthy routines for a family, you will fit right in here.
