Our home is also a place of work: one parent runs a business and regularly works from the house, which means the home needs to run like a well-oiled machine even when the workday is happening right alongside it. The other parent is a professional athlete with a travel-heavy schedule, which means our primary parent is frequently managing everything solo and at full speed.We are active, organized by nature, faith-oriented, and we keep a respectful, health-forward home. Our kids are involved in sports most evenings and weekends. We host regularly, travel for work and family, and move through seasons, schedules, and logistics quickly. We are looking for someone to own the home: to see what needs doing, handle it, and keep everything running smoothly so we can be fully present with our family when it matters most.Who You Are / What We're Looking ForYou are highly organized, proactive, and self-directed. You do not wait for a to-do list. You see the laundry pile and start it. You notice the pantry is getting low and handle it. You bring ideas instead of questions. You are fast-moving and high-energy, comfortable working in a home that has a lot happening at once, and you communicate clearly and efficiently without needing a lot of hand-holding.You respect the values of the household, keep things professional, and understand that discretion matters here. You ask smart questions when you need to, but you figure things out independently and come back with solutions. You are warm, reliable, and genuinely invested in making this family's life run better. If you've got experience in household management or as a nanny with strong organizational instincts, we'd love to meet you.Key ResponsibilitiesHousehold Organization & MaintenanceOwn deep organization projects: closets, pantry, fridge, bathroom cabinets, kids' rooms, mudroom, sports gear storageConduct seasonal clothing transitions for kidsPrepare home for bi-weekly cleanersLight daily tidying: counters, dishes, surfaces, etc.Indoor plant careSort, manage, and put away mail and packages; handle returnsInventory & ErrandsManage household supply inventory; restock pantry, fridge, and household essentialsPlace grocery and household ordersHandle ad hoc errands: dry cleaning, gift shopping, donation drop-offsCoordinate and track birthday gifts for kids' social events; proactively check the family calendar for upcoming events and prep accordinglyMeal SupportBatch cooking and healthy meal prep: ground proteins, grains, pulled pork or carnitas, chopped vegetables, washed fruit, and occasional baking (banana bread, muffins)Prepare one cooked meal per week, plus leftoversPrep snacks and meals for work travel and family tripsFollow family recipes and meal planning systemLaundry & LinensManage all family laundry: wash, fold, and put laundry away (kids will put theirs away)Maintain linen rotation (bedding, towels) in coordination with the cleaning serviceHandle ironing, steaming, and special garment care as neededVehicle UpkeepSchedule occasional oil changes and routine maintenance for the family vehicleTake the family vehicle for monthly or bi-monthly wash and detail serviceFamily SupportProvide occasional backup childcare for date nights, solo-parenting evenings, and overnight coverage during travelAssist with school drop-off and pick-up as needed during heavy travel periodsSupport kids' activity logistics: driving to sports, ensure gear is stocked for the seasonMaintain visibility into the family's personal calendar to anticipate upcoming needs (events, hosting, travel prep, gifts)Deep Cleaning & Special ProjectsSeasonal mudroom and entry refresh; garage and storage organizationPeriodic deep-clean of closets, bathroom storage, and toy/sports gear areasGuest room prep when visitors are comingAssist with holiday and hosting supportPacking support for travel, including outfit prep and maintaining packing listsVendor & Property OversightServe as on-site point of contact for vendors (window washing, furniture delivery, repairs)Research, schedule, and coordinate one-off vendor projectsOccasional supply runs or drop-offs to secondary properties as neededHow to ApplyPlease send a short intro letter, your updated resume, and 3 professional references with contact information to Sage Haus.
