Sage Haus•Armonk, NY

9d•$30 - $35

About The Position

We are a busy family with two energetic young boys (ages 5 & 3) who bring lots of fun to our daily lives. While our home life is full of movement, we thrive in a calm, organized, and happy environment. We believe in fostering warmth, trust, and a collaborative spirit in our home, and we’re looking for someone who can help bring this vision to life by keeping everything running smoothly. We value someone who is proactive and able to take initiative. Whether it's managing the daily routine, tackling laundry, meal prep, organizing the kids’ toys, or prepping for special family events, we need a self-starter who can work independently and efficiently, without constant guidance. We’re looking for someone who is professional, detail-oriented, and enjoys working with systems. Someone who goes the extra mile—whether that’s noticing the bubble machine needs new batteries or being diligent about keeping us on track with seasonal house maintenance. We’re also a family that values flexibility; things may come up or change, and we need someone who can adapt and evolve with the role. We’re seeking a long-term fit who will become a trusted part of our family—someone who is hardworking, warm, and enjoys being around kids. We’re looking for someone to help us maintain an environment that feels organized and peaceful, allowing us to focus on spending more quality time together. You are organized and naturally take ownership of tasks without needing to be asked. You can walk into a room and instinctively know what needs to be done, and you take action. You are proactive and comfortable working independently, but also enjoy being part of a team. Once you understand the systems in place, you work efficiently and responsibly, whether it's meal prepping, staying on top of laundry, or tackling household tasks like organizing and tidying. You bring a warm, positive energy wherever you go. You’re friendly, approachable, and fun to be around, especially for young and energetic kids. You understand the importance of professional boundaries but know how to bring a sunny, caring presence into the home. You’re the type of person who can go the extra mile without being asked. You thrive in a detail-oriented environment and take pride in keeping things neat and tidy, from laundry to organizing the pantry to managing seasonal tasks. You have a “can-do” attitude and enjoy staying on top of the little things—like vacuuming lint traps, running cleaning cycles, or refilling drink fridges. At the same time, you are flexible and able to pivot when things change or when unexpected tasks arise. We’re looking for someone who is hardworking, organized, and dependable, and who enjoys being part of a collaborative team. You’re excited to contribute to the smooth running of a household. Above all, you’re looking for a long-term role where you can grow with a family and adapt as their needs evolve over time.
