Household Manager & Family Assistant (With Childcare and Meal Prep Support)

Sage Haus•Pleasant View, TN

4d•Onsite

About The Position

We are a calm, laid-back family navigating a full and exciting season of life with a curious, energetic toddler and a new baby on the way. We both work asynchronous schedules, often from home, which means things can easily pile up or get pushed off. We’re looking for steady support to help our household run smoothly. We're flexible and appreciate someone who can meet us where we are - we will do the same for you. What matters most to us is finding someone who's proactive, kind, and comfortable rolling with our rhythm. We want our evenings to feel calmer and more connected, and that starts with having the right support in the first part of our day. We don't have family nearby, so the right person will truly add to our village. We’re looking for someone who genuinely loves children and brings reliability and care to every shift. We value a steady environment, and we're looking for someone who brings that same energy through the door. This role requires a background check.
