House Manager / Family Assistant

Sage Haus•Pocatello, ID

About The Position

We are a dynamic and close-knit family of three who are always on the go with lives full of work, school, sports, and activities. One parent is away frequently for work, and the other is home full-time managing the household and supporting our 11-year-old daughter's demanding athletic training schedule. We cherish our time together, so we’re looking for someone who can help streamline the daily backlog and bring some much-needed order to our busy lives. Things tend to get especially hectic during work travel when one parent is away for multiple days each week, leaving the other to juggle most household duties. On top of our busy schedules, we’ve been in a multi-year home renovation that is finally winding down, and we need support in resetting and reorganizing our home. This is where you come in - we’re seeking someone who can become an integral part of our family by managing day-to-day household operations and creating systems that bring structure and support. We’d also love to bring more consistency to meal planning, laundry, errands, home organization, and other tasks that often slip through the cracks when life gets overwhelming. Our family values fun, connection, and inclusivity, and we’re hoping to find someone who will naturally fit into our rhythm. Fitness and nutrition are core values in our home, and we value spaces where everyone feels respected, comfortable, and free to be themselves. Ultimately, we want someone who can help make our vision a reality by keeping our home running smoothly, allowing us to focus on what truly matters: reducing the mental load and spending quality time together.
