Household Manager/Family Assistant

Sage Haus•Richmond, VA

8d•$30 - $35•Onsite

About The Position

We are a busy, driven couple both running demanding careers that keep us constantly on the move. We are the kind of people who pour everything into our work and our relationship, and we are looking for someone to help us make our space feel more organized and peaceful so we can fully exhale when we walk through the door. We have two cats who we consider a part of our family, we love celebrating the seasons in a big way-especially Halloween and Christmas-and we take our health seriously when it comes to what we eat. We are a gluten-free and dairy-free household and appreciate a fridge and pantry that reflect that. Our current weekly cleaner handles the heavy scrubbing, but what we are missing is the connective tissue--someone who keeps everything running smoothly between visits, anticipates what we need before we know we need it, and quietly makes the home feel like a place where we can relax, reconnect, and recharge.
