We recently relocated from Greenwich, Connecticut and have a clear vision for how we want our home to run. Our children are older and away at school during the week, returning on weekends and holidays, which keeps the household rhythm steady and predictable.We have always valued our household team deeply and treat those who work with us as true extensions of our family. At the same time, we hold high standards: we expect reliability, follow-through, and the kind of quiet professionalism that allows everyone to move through their day without interruption. We have had wonderful, long-tenured household staff in the past, and we are looking to build that same kind of lasting, trusting relationship here in our new home.We already have a regular home cleaner in place who handles deep cleaning. What we are looking for is someone to take genuine ownership of the day-to-day management of the home. The goal is simple: we should not have to figure out what needs to be done each day. We want the mental load lifted, the house to simply run, and the confidence that comes from knowing it is all being handled.Who You AreYou are the kind of person who walks into a space, clocks what needs attention, and handles it without being asked twice. You are self-directed, professional, and take genuine pride in a well-run home. You do not require constant check-ins, reminders, or hand-holding. Discretion is not just appreciated in this role but essential. Drama is not in your vocabulary. You communicate clearly and concisely when needed, and otherwise you get things done.You bring a project manager's mindset to everything from vendor coordination to weekly meal planning, and you are organized enough to juggle multiple moving parts without losing sight of the details. You are comfortable in the kitchen, particularly with simple, health-forward preparations using meal delivery services, and you follow dietary preferences carefully and consistently. Tech-savvy and resourceful, you manage subscriptions, online orders, and household logistics with ease. Above all, you understand that the highest compliment in this role is when the household runs so smoothly it seems effortless.Key ResponsibilitiesHousehold Management & OrganizationCreate and/or maintain household organization systemsPerform daily resets: dishes, tidying surfaces, making beds, freshening bathrooms, and light vacuuming of high-traffic areasPrepare the home ahead of the cleaners' visitsManage seasonal swaps for clothing, bedding, and décorCoordinate and prepare donation drop-offsHandle packing and unpacking for family travelAssist with occasional event, holiday, or guest preparationChange batteries, light bulbs, and smoke detectors, or coordinate with vendors to complete these tasksInventory & ErrandsMaintain running household supply listsMonitor and restock pantry, refrigerator, and household suppliesOversee household orders and subscriptions, primarily through AmazonHandle returns, dry cleaning drop-offs and pickups, and gift shopping as neededManage incoming mail and packages, including breaking down boxesMeal Planning & PrepPlan weekly lunches and dinners (5x/week) for two adults, submitting meal plans for quick family approvalPrepare meals using meal delivery services (such as Green Chef and local options); comfortable with simple preparations including chicken, salmon, shrimp, and other seafoodFollow a Mediterranean and pescatarian dietary preference; no red meatManage grocery shopping via online ordering and delivery (Whole Foods preferred)Maintain a clean, organized kitchen after each useLaundry & Linen CareWash, fold, and organize family laundryHandle ironing, steaming, and special garment care as neededManage linen rotation and bedding changesKeep laundry areas tidy and well stockedVehicle ManagementSchedule and take the family vehicle in for routine maintenanceArrange car washes as neededTrack registration and insurance timelinesVendor & Property OversightCoordinate with established cleaners, contractors, and landscapers as neededSchedule and track routine maintenance, repairs, and seasonal upkeepEnsure household needs are followed through to completionDeep Cleaning & Special ProjectsOccasional refrigerator cleaningLight refresh of entry, mudroom, or garage as neededOrganizational projects including closets, pantry, and storage areasAdministrative & Personal Assistant SupportMaintain awareness of household schedules and coordinate appointments and eventsTrack receipts and expenses incurred in the course of the roleSchedule car service for family members as neededTravel planning and logistics support (nice to have, not a priority)How to Apply:If you are interested in this position, please email with the following:A brief letter explaining why you would be a great fit for the roleAn updated resumeAt least 3 professional references with contact informationThis role requires a background check.Disclaimer: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.
