House Manager & Family Assistant

Sage Haus•Cincinnati, OH

25d•$25 - $30

About The Position

We’re a big, warm, blended family with seven kids — five girls and two boys — ranging from middle schoolers to high school seniors at home (with our two oldest already launched). Our home is lively, full of movement, and grounded in routines that help everything run smoothly. Both parents work full-time, and Dad travels internationally for work, so having steady, reliable support at home is essential for our family. We’re very organized by nature and value clear systems, communication, and teamwork. We’re looking for someone who enjoys helping maintain and strengthen that organization — keeping schedules on track, coordinating transportation, and jumping in with homework or after-school activities when needed — so that when we’re together, we can truly enjoy family time without the stress of daily logistics. We hope to find someone who feels like a trusted extension of our household. You’ll also be welcomed by our sweet, playful Cavapoo, who is very much part of the family.
