House Manager & Meal Prep Support

Sage Haus•Roanoke, VA

20h•Onsite

About The Position

We’re a busy, loving family who truly values the time we spend together. With both parents working in the medical field, our days can sometimes feel quite busy and demanding. Our home is our haven, and we’re looking for someone who can help bring more organization, rhythm, and support to our day-to-day routine. A key part of this role will be ownership of all laundry, tidying up, and kitchen management, including ensuring the kitchen is always ready for meal prep and kept clean. In addition, we’re looking for someone who can provide “ready-to-cook” meal prep, making sure all ingredients are prepped and ready for us to cook fresh dinners efficiently. Our blended family includes a 5-year-old, two older kids (ages 10 & 14) who are with us part-time, and a college-aged niece who is a cherished part of our family. We’re seeking someone who feels like a natural fit—someone we can count on to keep everything running smoothly, from laundry and meal prep to managing household tasks. Our goal is to spend less time on logistics and more time enjoying each other’s company, and we’re excited to find a partner who can help us achieve just that.
