Sage Haus•Lindenhurst, NY

7d•$32 - $38

About The Position

We are a fun, loving, and busy family of four with two little ones (ages 2 and 4) who keep our home lively and full of energy. Both parents are entrepreneurs in the restaurant industry, which means our schedules can be pretty hectic, but we also feel incredibly fortunate to have family nearby who pitch in and help with our kids. We are so excited to find someone who can help bring some structure to our busy home life! There is a list of house projects that have been on our 'wish list' for a while, and we’re looking for someone who loves the idea of rolling up their sleeves to make it all happen. We value a clean, organized, and structured home—someone who shares this love will be a perfect fit for us. We’re in need of someone who can keep things running smoothly, take on household tasks like grocery shopping, meal prep, laundry, and keep our home organized so we can focus on work and family time. While we’ve recently worked to gain more flexibility in our work schedules, it’s still a balancing act. With our busy lives, we need someone who is organized, proactive, and able to handle multiple responsibilities without needing constant direction. With us being constantly pulled into work, we need someone we can trust to take care of the day-to-day, allowing us to focus on the business and our kids. If you're someone who enjoys bringing order and structure while also making the home a fun and lively place, we’d love to have you join our family! We’re looking for someone with a project manager mentality, who’s organized, detail-oriented, and adaptable—someone who can roll with the flow of our busy household, step in when needed, and keep things running like clockwork. The perfect person for this role will be proactive, with a keen eye for detail, and able to take the initiative to create and maintain systems that help keep our home organized. Bonus points if you can read the room and calibrate to our different needs as they arise. We’re looking for someone who understands that balance and can work with the energy of the household. This individual will be responsible for managing household projects, coordinating with vendors, maintaining cleanliness, and providing some light childcare when necessary. A positive and light-hearted attitude is important. We need someone who is self-directed, able to anticipate needs, and take the initiative to keep the house running smoothly without constant supervision. This role isn’t just about checking off a list of chores—it’s about making life easier for us and allowing us to spend more quality time with our kids. If you’re someone who can jump in, take charge of household tasks like organizing, meal prep and errands, and still maintain a warm, positive attitude, we want to hear from you!
