Our children are increasingly independent, but our weekdays move quickly between early school schedules, buses, aftercare, and activities.\nBoth parents have demanding careers. One works primarily in the office, while the other owns and operates local businesses and spends much of the day traveling between job sites. Our day-to-day household responsibilities have become increasingly difficult to manage alongside work and family life, leaving evenings and weekends filled with catch-up rather than meaningful family time.\nThis is a household management role first, not a childcare position. Our older children are typically home by mid-afternoon, so being a warm, aware, and trustworthy presence when schedules overlap would be helpful, but hands-on childcare is not the primary focus. We’re looking for someone who can take genuine ownership of the home, create practical systems, anticipate needs, and ensure the details are handled without requiring a rigid daily task list.\nWe offer meaningful flexibility in how the weekly schedule is structured; Thursday availability is important, but the remaining days and hours can be determined collaboratively. We care most about finding a dependable long-term partner who takes pride in their work and helps make our home and family life feel calmer, more organized, and easier to enjoy.\nWho You Are / What We're Looking For\nYou’re a proactive, dependable household professional who takes genuine ownership of your work. You don’t need a rigid daily task list to stay productive. Instead, you notice what needs attention, prioritize thoughtfully, and make sure the work gets done. You enjoy creating practical systems, maintaining organization, and helping a busy household stay ahead of the details that can otherwise pile up.\nYou’re comfortable moving between recurring responsibilities and larger projects. On any given day, that might include preparing meals, organizing a high-use area, running errands, managing household inventory, coordinating a vendor, preparing for the housecleaner, or completing a household reset. You’re hands-on and willing to help with light tidying, laundry and linens, occasional deep-cleaning projects, and simple household maintenance when needed.\nAlthough this is a household management role first, you’re warm and comfortable around school-aged children. You can serve as a trustworthy, aware presence when the children are home without needing to be their primary caregiver. You’re also comfortable working in a home with an indoor cat and are happy to provide occasional attention or care.\nYou communicate clearly, follow through consistently, and understand how to work independently while keeping parents informed about what matters. If you’re looking for a long-term role where you’ll be trusted to manage your time, build effective systems, and make a noticeable difference in a family’s daily life, this could be a wonderful fit.\nNote: We’re looking for someone flexible and open to an evolving role, but any meaningful changes would be discussed and mutually agreed upon in advance. If you’re excited to grow with a family rather than looking for a narrowly defined set of responsibilities, we want to hear from you!\nKey Responsibilities\nFamily Support & Child Assistance\nProvide light afternoon supervision when scheduled during after-school hours, including greeting the children and serving as an aware, reliable presence in the home\nHandle occasional kid-related errands as needed\nHousehold Management & Organization\nCreate and maintain practical household organization systems\nComplete daily household resets and prepare the home on Thursdays for biweekly cleaner visits\nHandle light tidying, including dishes, surfaces, and vacuuming high-traffic areas\nPrepare and coordinate donation drop-offs\nAssist with occasional event, holiday, weekend hosting, and guest preparation\nHelp with family travel preparation, including occasional packing and unpacking for the children as needed\nCare for indoor plants\nHandle simple household maintenance tasks, such as replacing batteries, light bulbs, and smoke detector batteries as needed\nDeep Cleaning & Special Projects\nComplete occasional rotating deep-cleaning tasks, such as the refrigerator, oven, and baseboards\nRefresh and organize high-use areas such as the garage, mudroom, and entryway\nClean and maintain humidifiers, air purifiers, and air filters as needed\nTake ownership of ongoing organizational projects involving toys, activity gear, and household storage, including creating new systems that are easy for the family to maintain\nInventory & Errands\nRestock the pantry, refrigerator, and household supplies\nCreate and maintain an organized system for tracking household needs and running supply lists\nHandle returns and other household errands\nBring in and organize mail and packages\nBreak down and recycle boxes\nMeal Planning & Prep\nPlan and prepare 2-3 family dinners each week (leftovers welcomed)\nPrepare convenient breakfast options for parents\nAssist with simple lunch preparation for parents using fresh meals, freezer-friendly options, or planned leftovers\nHelp reduce reliance on prepared meal-delivery services by keeping easy, ready-to-eat options available\nOrganize and maintain the refrigerator, freezer, and pantry to support the family’s weekly meal routine\nLaundry & Linen Care\nWash, fold, organize, and put away laundry\nOccasionally treat stains on children’s clothing as needed\nMaintain a consistent rotation of bedding, towels, and other household linens\nKeep laundry and linen storage areas tidy, organized, and well-stocked\nPet Care\nComfort working in a home with an indoor cat is preferred\nProvide occasional playtime or brushing as desired\nVehicle Management\nOccasionally clean out, tidy, and organize family vehicles\nVendor & Property Oversight\nCoordinate household repairs and service appointments as needed\nBe present to provide vendors, maintenance professionals, or pest-control providers with access to the home and show them the relevant areas\nAssist with occasional summer pool upkeep, including collecting water samples and taking them to the nearby pool store for testing\nHow to Apply\nPlease submit:\nA short letter introducing yourself and explaining why you’d be a great fit.\nYour updated resume.\nThree professional references with contact information.\nThis role requires a background check.\nWhen you apply with Sage Haus, you'll also be added to our candidate community email list so we can share hiring updates, resources, and opportunities.
