Sage Haus•Corte Madera, CA

4d•$35 - $38

About The Position

We’re a fun, lively family of three (kids ages 11 and 9) and we are always on the go. We truly value the time we spend together. The kids are full of life and love to stay active—whether it’s playing sports, hanging out at home, or having fun outdoors. We also have a sweet mini golden doodle (~10 pounds), who brings extra joy to our home with his playful nature. As a busy household, we know it takes a village to keep everything running smoothly. One of us is a full-time recipe developer and content creator that works from home – filming and sharing creative content for a food business. Balancing career, family, and home is a lot, and that’s where you come in! We’re looking for someone who can seamlessly become part of our family and help keep our home organized while also ensuring the kids’ routines and our schedules stay on track. We are seeking a proactive, detail-oriented House Manager / Family Assistant who thrives in a fast-paced, ever-evolving environment. This is a hands-on role ideal for someone who enjoys being integrated into a family’s daily life and takes pride in supporting both household operations and creative work. This position is centered on creating efficiency, reducing mental load, and enabling the principal to operate at a high level—particularly on content and filming days. We want a true partner who can bring positive energy, creativity, and reliability to everything they do. We want you to feel like a natural extension of our family, someone who can adapt with us, contribute to the family dynamic, and help us make our lives easier! The home environment is intentionally calm, organized, and “zen.” Maintaining a sense of order and ease is essential to helping the household run smoothly.
