With both of us working remotely, our days are full, our energy is carefully managed, and we rely on a calm, well-run home to keep everything in balance. We recently relocated and are in the process of settling in, which means there are still systems to build and projects to work through alongside the day-to-day rhythm of the household.We are not a high-energy nor high-traffic household—our home is quiet, peaceful, and intentional.
We value order, routine, and the comfort of knowing that tasks are handled proactively.We have some support in place, including a weekly house cleaner and a meal-prep chef, and we are looking for a calm, steady, and proactive house manager who can consistently show up to fill in the gaps in between—starting with creating and maintaining household organization systems, managing laundry and dishes, and daily resets and light tidying—so we can focus more of our energy on prioritizing our well-being.Who You Are / What We're Looking ForWe're looking for a highly organized, proactive House Manager who instinctively creates order and develops practical systems that make a household run effortlessly. You are highly observant and self-directed—you can walk into a room and see what needs to be done without being asked. You take genuine pride in your work and feel a real sense of satisfaction supporting others.
You bring calm and focus to everything you do, and you thrive in quiet, relaxed environments where thoughtfulness and intention matter above all.You bring a grounded, calming presence and naturally adapt to the rhythm of a quiet, intentional home. You communicate thoughtfully, exercise excellent judgment, and know how to support a household with professionalism, warmth, and emotional intelligence.While we already have a weekly house cleaner and meal-prep chef, we're looking for someone who naturally identifies what needs attention, fills the gaps between existing support, and takes ownership of keeping our home running smoothly. From laundry and organization to household administration, inventory, meal support, and pet care, you'll become a trusted partner who allows us to conserve our energy for what matters most.Key ResponsibilitiesHousehold Organization & MaintenanceCreate and maintain household organization systemsPerform daily resets and light tidying, including dishes, surfaces, and vacuuming high-traffic areasPrep the home before weekly cleaner visitsManage seasonal swaps for clothing, décor, and beddingCoordinate donation drop-offsAssist with event, holiday, and guest prepSupport packing and unpacking for travelCare for indoor plantsHandle routine maintenance tasks such as changing batteries and light bulbsLaundry & LinensWash, fold, and organize laundry on a regular basisHandle ironing, steaming, and special garment care as neededRotate linensMaintain a tidy, well-stocked laundry areaMeal SupportReheat and plate meals provided by the household's meal-prep chefPrep simple items such as washing produce and light snack preparationKeep the kitchen organized and cleanSupport grocery delivery coordination/shopping as neededInventory & ErrandsRestock pantry, fridge, and household suppliesManage running supply lists and household subscriptions (Amazon, Costco, Target, etc.)Handle mail and packages including sorting, organizing, and breaking down boxesRun errands such as returns, dry cleaning pickup, and gift shoppingDeep Cleaning & Special ProjectsAssist with periodic deep cleans, including the fridge, oven, and baseboardsClean and maintain humidifiers and air purifiersRefresh the garage and entryway areasAssist with an ongoing special project: sorting and organizing a loved one's belongings currently stored in a room in the home and a nearby storage unit, with occasional coordination for off-site units until they are relocated closerPet CareFeed, brush, and play with the household catSchedule vet and grooming appointmentsMaintain pet suppliesVehicle UpkeepSchedule routine maintenance for the household vehiclesAssist with fueling, cleaning, and organizing the vehiclesTrack registration and insurance renewalsVendor & Property OversightOversee and serve as the point of contact for cleaners, landscapers, and contractorsResearch vendors, coordinate repairs, and manage quotesAssist with seasonal property upkeep and outdoor spacesProvide phone-based vendor coordination for a second property, liaising with the current PA and housekeeper as neededAdministrative & Personal Assistant SupportManage household calendars and schedulingAssist with travel planning and hotel bookingsCoordinate appointments and eventsTrack receipts and assist with basic household budget trackingHow to ApplyTo apply, please submit the following:A cover letter telling us a little about yourself and why this role resonates with youAn updated resumeThree professional references with names, relationship to you, and 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.
