Full-Time House Manager & Family Assistant

Sage Haus•Woodland Hills, CA

1d•$35 - $43

About The Position

We are a warm and active family with a 4-year-old son and a friendly golden doodle. Mornings move quickly—everyone is out the door by 7:45 AM for school drop-off. One parent works long hours and travels frequently for high-level professional commitments, while the other parent oversees the family’’s day-to-day responsibilities. We deeply value support from someone who helps create calm, order, organization, and consistency. We’re looking for a grounded, trustworthy House Manager & Family Assistant who thrives in a household where responsibilities vary day to day, and where anticipating needs makes all the difference. This is a role for someone who is observant, proactive, organized, and comfortable working independently. If you enjoy taking ownership, seeing what needs to be done without being asked, and keeping a home running smoothly, this will be a wonderful long-term fit.
