House Manager & Family Assistant

Sage Haus•Salem, OR

7d•$30 - $35

About The Position

We are a lively and active family in Salem, OR, juggling busy careers and raising a vibrant daughter, along with two playful dogs and two affectionate cats. Our days are full, and we love staying engaged in each other's lives—whether it’s helping our daughter with her activities or keeping the household running smoothly. Both parents work hybrid schedules, which means we're home a couple of days a week, but also in the office the rest of the time. We cherish our family time and are looking for someone to help us balance everything. From tackling household tasks to easing our mental load, we need help creating space for more meaningful moments together. Our daughter, in second grade, stays busy with her swim lessons, dance, and guitar, and we want to make sure our home is a calm and organized space to return to each day. As a family, we aim to streamline our routines to better enjoy quality time together. We are looking for a proactive, organized, and compassionate House Manager & Family Assistant to support our home and family. The ideal candidate is trustworthy, patient, and comfortable working with children, especially in a calm and gentle manner. You should be someone who enjoys managing household tasks, such as meal prep, laundry, and organization, with a keen eye for detail and a willingness to take initiative. Flexibility and reliability are essential, and occasional date night coverage. A passion for creating a calm and organized environment and a willingness to pitch in where needed will be highly valued.
