Household Manager (with Meal Prep)

Sage Haus•San Diego, CA

3d•$30 - $35•Onsite

About The Position

We're a busy, active family in San Diego with two school-age children and an energetic young Cavapoo. Like many working families, our weekdays move quickly. Between demanding careers, school schedules, activities, and the countless details that keep a home running, there's always something happening. We already have a wonderful afternoon nanny and a bi-weekly housekeeper, and we're looking for a dedicated Household Manager to take ownership of the daytime hours and ensure everything behind the scenes runs seamlessly. The biggest opportunity in this role is bringing calm after the morning rush. Once everyone heads out the door, you'll reset the home, tackle the day's priorities, and create the sense of order that allows our family to come home to a peaceful, organized space. Laundry, errands and returns, maintaining household inventory, and creating thoughtful organizational systems are all important pieces of the role. We love a home where everything has a place, surfaces stay clutter-free, and the little details are consistently handled before they become to-do lists. Our family travels, schedules shift, and priorities naturally evolve, so we're looking for someone who enjoys bringing structure to a dynamic household. We see this as a true partnership and value someone who can grow with our family, taking on new projects, responsibilities, and household initiatives as needs arise.
