Both parents work from home and keep busy schedules, with one parent traveling regularly. Our household is active, structured, and runs with intention, and as our needs have transitioned, we've realized it's time to bring in dedicated support to help us keep it that way.Our teenage daughter has a full and demanding schedule: two sports teams, a school that's nearly an hour away, and a social life to match. Our son is heading off to college soon, which means we're losing a helpful set of hands at home. We're looking for someone to fill that gap and then some. We have two friendly, well-trained mini golden doodles who are very much part of the family.We value professionalism, discretion, and efficiency. Our home is tidy and organized — and we'd like to keep it that way. We're looking for a long-term relationship built on trust, reliability, and mutual respect. If that sounds like the kind of home you'd love to be part of, we can't wait to meet you.Who You Are / What We're Looking ForThe ideal candidate has a "see it, do it" mindset. You walk in, assess what needs attention, and get to work — without needing to be directed on every task. Three things matter most in this role: reliable support for daughter's activities, staying on top of the steady flow of mail and packages, and keeping the kitchen clean and reset after meals. You are organized, proactive, detail-oriented, and take pride in doing things correctly the first time. You communicate clearly and professionally, provide updates when something needs attention, and know how to work independently.You are warm and personable, but you understand this is a professional position. You keep your personal life separate, respect household boundaries, and bring a calm, efficient energy to everything you do. You are someone who genuinely cares about follow-through. The family describes their ideal candidate as someone who is trustworthy, reliable, discreet, and mature — someone who treats this home with the same level of care and attention they would want in their own.Key ResponsibilitiesFamily SupportDaily bus stop pickupMorning bus stop drop-off as neededTransportation to sports practices and activities; occasional school runsProvide reminders to daughter for backpack, lunch, and clothing prep — while encouraging her to do these things herselfHousehold Organization & MaintenanceMaintain household organization systems between biannual professional organizer visitsDaily resets: tidying surfaces, dishes, and high-traffic areasPrep home for weekly housekeepersSeasonal clothing swaps, closet edits, and donation coordinationHoliday and event prep: putting up and storing decorations, setting up for guestsOccasional packing and unpacking assistance during busy travel periods (~2 times per year)Change batteries, light bulbs, and smoke detector batteries as neededIndoor plant careInventory & ErrandsMail and package management: gather, sort, open, assess, and organize deliveriesTimely returns management to prevent lost refund windowsMaintain and restock pantry, refrigerator, and household suppliesManage household orders and subscriptions (Amazon, Costco, Target)Grocery shopping, including Costco runsDry cleaning drop-off and pickupHoliday gift shopping, wrapping, and shippingBreak down and dispose of cardboard boxesOrganize and maintain the mudroom and entry drop zoneMeal SupportMeal prep assistance 3–4 days per week: washing and cutting produce, marinating proteins, and prepping alongside the primary cookKitchen cleanup after mealsAssistance in packing daughter's school lunchesOccasional light cooking in a pinch when the family needs itGrocery shopping aligned with family's weekly needsLaundry & LinensBackup laundry support as neededMaintain a tidy and well-stocked laundry areaPet CareOne 15–20 minute walk on scheduled work daysMonitor and refresh food and waterMonthly allergy shot appointments: drop off and pick upMaintain pet suppliesDeep Cleaning & Special ProjectsOccasional deep-clean tasks as needed: vacuuming out drawers and cabinets, full refrigerator clean-out, wiping down and organizing the garage, mudroom, and entry areasOutdoor furniture maintenance: wiping down cushions and furniture coversOrganizational projects: closets, sock drawers, shelves, and seasonal gearClean and maintain air purifiers and humidifiers as neededVendor & Property OversightSchedule and oversee vendor, repair, and maintenance appointments (e.g., garage door, landscapers)Research vendors and obtain quotes for repairs as neededOversee weekly housekeeping and contractor visitsCommunicate household issues and flag items that need attentionAdministrative SupportMaintain awareness of the family calendar, especially daughter's activity and transportation scheduleCoordinate appointments and vendor scheduling with minimal directionCommunicate proactively about household projects, broken items, or anything that needs follow-upHow to ApplyTo be considered for this position, please submit the following to Sage Haus:A short introductory letter telling us about yourself and why this role is a great fitAn updated resumeThree professional references with full 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.
