House Manager & Family Assistant

Sage Haus•Gastonia, NC

2d•$28 - $32

About The Position

We are a family of four who value connection and strive to create a calm, welcoming home environment. Life in our home is full, active, and ever-evolving, from busy school days and extracurriculars to the joyful chaos that comes with a full house of animals. Alongside our two active, sports-loving kids, we have two sweet dogs, two guinea pigs, and a turtle who happily keeps to himself. It’s a lively mix, and we truly enjoy the balance of staying busy while also being intentional about slowing down and spending quality time together. Our days are a blend of work, activities, and home life, and we take pride in maintaining a space that feels organized, comfortable, and supportive for everyone in it. We recently transitioned into a our new home and are still in the process of thoughtfully settling in, creating systems, and making the space feel like “home.” Between home organization and inventory, meal prep, and staying on top of laundry and linens, having the right support in place is incredibly important to us. We are looking for someone who can step in as a trusted partner in managing the home. Someone who brings a positive, grounded presence, takes pride in their work, and genuinely enjoys helping a household run smoothly. We are hoping to find someone who will grow with our family, become a steady and reliable presence, and take ownership in a way that allows us to focus more on family time and less on the day-to-day logistics. You are someone who naturally brings calm, positive energy into a home and takes pride in creating order, ease, and flow in your environment. You are highly organized and detail-oriented, but also flexible and intuitive. You can walk into a space, quickly assess what needs attention, and take initiative without needing constant direction. You are an excellent communicator who is both professional and approachable. You keep things clear, follow through on what you say you will do, and are comfortable asking questions when needed. Accountability and reliability are second nature to you. You show up consistently, take ownership of your responsibilities, and care deeply about doing your job well. You thrive in a role where you can operate independently, manage your time effectively, and stay one step ahead. You are a true self-starter who finds satisfaction in keeping a home running smoothly and proactively identifying ways to improve systems and routines. At the same time, you are warm, friendly, and personable. You enjoy being part of a household environment and building a genuine, respectful relationship with the family (and pets!) you support. You are looking for a long-term position where you can settle in, grow with the role, and become a trusted and valued member of the household team.
