Household Caretaker and Project Manager

Sage Haus•Frisco, TX

13d•Onsite

About The Position

This is a home that flows between two cities, with a household that values independence, organization, and thoughtful care. The primary homeowners split their time between Frisco and Toronto, creating a rhythm that shifts with the seasons. During the summer, the home has a lively, relaxed energy with family around. The rest of the year, the home is quieter and serves as a peaceful retreat between travels. With retirement on the horizon and more adventure planned, this family is entering a new chapter that includes simplifying, organizing, and preparing the home for the next phase of life. This is a household that appreciates someone who can think ahead, take initiative, and manage things independently with minimal oversight. We are seeking someone who can be more than just a caretaker for our home—they’ll be a trusted extension of our family, someone who can make our house feel just as warm and welcoming in our absence as it is when we’re home. The ideal person will be proactive, reliable, and organized, taking initiative to maintain our home’s needs and to ensure everything flows smoothly. You’ll be joining a family that values long-term relationships and deeply appreciates trust, care, and thoughtfulness. If you are someone who understands the importance of creating an environment that feels like home—even when we’re away—then we’d love to connect with you.
