Household Manager w/ Child Assistance & Meal Prep Support

Sage Haus•Davie, FL

1d•$32 - $37•Onsite

About The Position

We are a close-knit, busy household with a lot of heart — and we are looking for someone who is ready to be a real part of it. We recently made a big move from the Northeast to Florida, and while we are settling in and making this place home, the pace of life has not slowed down. Our days are full, our schedules are active, and we are looking for a steady constant to serve as our backbone and help keep us organized and our days moving. At the center of this home is a bright, spirited, and social child who loves being around people and thrives with warmth, encouragement, and consistency. He recently went through a significant surgery and is continuing to build strength and confidence, so he benefits from additional physical support and attentive care throughout the day. This includes the use of mobility aids, regular physical therapy appointments, and some hands-on assistance as needed until he fully regains his strength. He is a joyful child who loves connection, curiosity, and being engaged with the world around him. We have two cats and a small, friendly dog who rounds out the household energy — and when extended family visits, the house gets a little louder and a little livelier. We love it. Our home is easygoing, inclusive, and open. We believe in kindness, being genuinely curious about the world, and surrounding ourselves with people who share those values.
