House Manager & Meal Prep Support

Sage Haus•Bel Air, MD

2d•$30 - $35

About The Position

We are a busy, proactive family of four, with three kids (a college student, a 17-year-old, and a 13-year-old). Both parents work from home as entrepreneurs, managing and growing their own company, which means their days are often filled with back-to-back meetings and creative projects. Our home is well-organized, but with the demands of our business, we need a proactive, detail-oriented individual to help maintain daily household tasks, deep cleaning, meal prep, and organization. We value someone who can take initiative, notice what needs to be done without being asked, and keep everything running smoothly. No pets, but we do require occasional support for errands and vehicle maintenance. We are looking for a proactive, detail-oriented, and resourceful individual who thrives in an organized environment. You are someone who takes initiative, notices what needs to be done, and doesn’t wait to be asked. You’re comfortable managing multiple tasks independently and are open to feedback, valuing continuous improvement. A genuine, trustworthy person with a keen eye for detail, you will be able to anticipate household needs and take ownership of various tasks.
