Household Manager & Family Assistant

Sage Haus•Daniel Island, SC

About The Position

We are a busy, close-knit family of four living on Daniel Island in Charleston, SC. Both parents work demanding careers in healthcare — with irregular hours that include evenings, overnights, weekends, and holidays, that leaves little room for flexibility or household tasks during the week. Our two school-age kids keep life wonderfully full, and bring the kind of energy that makes a house feel alive. We love our home deeply, and we want it to feel like a true sanctuary — a place where we can walk through the door after a long day and finally exhale. But the reality is that between two demanding jobs, school schedules, and the steady rhythm of daily life, keeping the household running smoothly has become its own second job. Fridays were supposed to be a lighter day, but they've quietly become the day we try to catch up on everything that didn't get done during the week — and that's just not sustainable anymore. We're ready for that to change. The things that weigh on us most are the everyday stuff that piles up fast: the laundry that gets washed but never quite folded, the counters that get cleared only to fill back up, the pantry that's never quite stocked right, and the general sense that the house never fully resets. We want systems in place — real, working systems — so the home runs smoothly in the background, even on the busiest weeks. Daily tidying, organized spaces, stocked shelves, and fresh linens might sound like small things, but for our family, they're everything. We aren't looking for someone to manage. We are looking for someone who manages. Someone who works quietly and confidently behind the scenes, who takes care of the details so that when we come home — whether it's after a long shift, a school pickup, or a stressful Thursday — we can walk in, take a deep breath, and just be a family.

Requirements

Maintain a smoke-free environment
Reliable transportation
Must be comfortable working independently in the home when family is not present
Must be authorized to work in the United States
You are the kind of person who finds genuine satisfaction in bringing order to a home — not because you were asked, but because you noticed something that needed attention and took care of it.
You have the mindset and instincts of a skilled project manager: you see the full picture, prioritize what matters, and follow through from start to finish without needing to be redirected.
You are warm, kind, and communicative — the kind of presence that makes a home feel cared for.
While childcare is not at the top of our list, it is important that you are comfortable with children as we are hoping to have someone to step in for back up care.
You're comfortable around kids and enjoy their energy, but you're equally at ease working independently when the family is out.
You are deeply trustworthy and intuitive.
You can read a household, anticipate needs before they're voiced, and adapt without hesitation.
You take pride in your work, you're organized to your core, and you understand that what you do behind the scenes makes a real difference in the daily lives of the people you support.
This role isn't just a job to you — it's a craft, and you treat it that way.
