Household Manager & Family Assistant

Sage Haus•Spencerport, NY

11d•$28 - $32•Onsite

About The Position

We are a busy family with two active children, ages 14 and 16, who participate in year-round sports. We are seeking help with household management to ease the demands of our hectic schedules. Both parents work full-time: one with a flexible office schedule, and the other in-office two days a week and in surgery on other days. Our home also includes a small, friendly dog and a pet rabbit, with the kids managing animal care. We are looking for a warm, reliable, and highly organized individual to assist with a variety of tasks, including meal preparation, laundry, grocery shopping, and helping with the logistics of getting the kids to/from sports practices and occasional appointments. While childcare is not a primary need with our older kids, we value someone who is comfortable with children, can offer light supervision, and assist with transportation. The role focuses on keeping the household running smoothly day to day, with a few core priorities that anchor the work. Other responsibilities support the overall flow of the home and are handled as time allows or on an as-needed basis. We care more about the right things getting done – not checking all the boxes.
