House Manager/Family Assistant

Sage Haus•Portland, OR

6d•$35 - $40•Onsite

About The Position

We are a busy, fun, active family of five living in Portland proper, and we’re looking for someone who wants to jump into the rhythm of our household and become a true connector, teammate, and partner. With three energetic daughters who love cheerleading, gymnastics, soccer, and everything in between, our afternoons and evenings are rarely quiet — and that’s exactly how we like it. Both parents work full-time outside the home, with one parent frequently juggling evening commitments and travel, so there are a lot of moving pieces on any given day. We relocated to Portland within the last couple of years and have built a life here that we really love. With most of our extended family across the country, the people we welcome into our home become especially important to us. We’re looking for someone who wants to know our family, connect with our girls, and work alongside us as a genuine partner in keeping life moving. For us, this isn’t a role about simply checking boxes. We want someone who takes ownership, sees what needs to happen, communicates well, and can roll with the organized chaos of a busy household. Someone who can help connect the dots between school, activities, meals, schedules, and home life — and who understands that sometimes the greatest gift is simply making it possible for us to put the logistics down and be present with our kids. You will be the person helping manage all those important pieces in between — the daily rhythm, logistics, meals, and little details that keep a busy, happy household running. If you love being part of the action, enjoy kids and their activities, and get genuine satisfaction from making life easier and more connected for the people around you, you’ll fit right in with our crew.
