We have two small poodles who are very much part of the family and bring plenty of personality to our home. One parent is home during the day, while the other works a schedule that can shift from week to week. We enjoy when our home feels welcoming and relaxed and we're looking for someone who will collaborate with us and naturally contribute to that atmosphere.Our days start early, and we thrive in a calm, organized environment where things just flow. Our mornings are busy getting everyone ready for the day and our afternoons are all about being present with our kids. We're a home that runs best with gentle structure: we like routines, but we're not rigid. We'd appreciate someone who can help keep the day moving in a steady, low-stress way. We're easygoing people who don't need to be in charge of every detail - we're looking for someone we can trust to show up, take ownership, and make the day feel lighter.We're also in an exciting season of transition: we're in the process of building a new home and anticipate relocating to a new state in early 2027. We'd love to find someone who can support us through our upcoming move and help to set our family's next adventure up for success.Who You Are / What We're Looking ForThe ideal candidate is relaxed, trustworthy, and genuinely great with young children. You're the kind of person who walks into a home, assesses what needs to happen, and gets to work without needing hand-holding. You're proactive but not overbearing, collaborative rather than controlling, and comfortable working alongside a parent who is home during the day. You communicate directly and clearly - owning your role as a collaborative partner in the home. We value someone who will speak up kindly, identify needs proactively, and keep everyone on the same page.You take pride in your work, you're reliable, and you bring a calm, steady energy that young kids respond well to while still keeping things warm and fun. You're also flexible and solutions-oriented - you can adapt when things change without bringing stress into the home. You understand that no two days with young children look exactly the same and are comfortable shifting gears as needed.Most importantly, you're looking to become a trusted part of a family's support system. You value creating a nurturing environment, take ownership of your responsibilities, and find satisfaction in helping a household run smoothly.Bonus skill: Multilingual (Spanish or Hebrew)Key ResponsibilitiesFamily SupportLight supervision and backup childcare as neededOccasional date night and weekend coverage (1-2 times per month, scheduled in advance)Kid-related errands as neededMeal SupportPrepare simple family dinner 3 times per weekAccommodate dietary preferences (one household member follows a mostly vegetarian diet; no restrictions for the rest of the family)Kitchen clean-up and general maintenanceHousehold Organization & MaintenanceCreate and maintain household organization systemsDaily resets and prep home for scheduled cleanersLight tidying: dishes, surfaces, vacuuming high-traffic areasIndoor plant careChange batteries, light bulbs, and smoke detector batteries as neededCoordinate donation drop-offsOrganizational projects for toys and gearLaundry & LinensWash, fold, and organize all family laundryLinen rotationMaintain a tidy and well-stocked laundry areaPet CarePrepare homemade dog foodDaily dog walkingSchedule vet and grooming appointmentsMaintain pet suppliesInventory & ErrandsHandle returnsBreak down and dispose of boxesVehicle UpkeepFuel, clean, and organize the family vehicleDeep Cleaning & Special ProjectsRefresh garage, mudroom, and entry areas as neededClean air purifiersOccasional deep cleans (fridge, oven, baseboards)Backyard organization and outdoor toy cleanupSpecial organizational projects as the family prepares for relocationHow to ApplyPlease submit the following to be considered for this role:A short intro letter telling us a little about yourself and why this role is a great fitAn updated resume3 professional references with current contact informationPlease note: this role requires a background check.When 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.
