House Manager & Family Assistant

Sage Haus•Manhattan Beach, CA

53d•$33 - $37•Onsite

About The Position

We are a friendly, down-to-earth family of four living in a three-story beach home with our cat and two active teenagers (ages 13 and 15). Our family values kindness, humor, and creating time for the people and activities we love. One parent travels frequently and often works late nights, while the other manages much of the day-to-day household responsibilities and keeps up with the kids' busy schedules filled with sports, school activities, and social commitments. Life has become increasingly busy, and we've reached a point where we could use support creating more structure, organization, and calm within our home. Our household is warm, welcoming, and full of personality, but over the years we've accumulated more belongings, projects, and responsibilities than we can comfortably manage. We're looking for someone who can help create systems, tackle clutter, oversee household projects, and bring order to the many moving pieces of daily life. We want our home to feel less overwhelming and more functional, so we can spend less time managing logistics and more time enjoying our family, friends, and interests. At the end of the day, we're not looking for perfection—we're looking for a partner who can help bring clarity, structure, and peace of mind to our home.
