Sage Haus•Lutz, FL

About The Position

We are a busy, warm, and deeply dedicated family navigating two demanding careers, both with variable schedules that include nights, weekends, rotating shifts, and on-call responsibilities. With three young children ranging from infant to early elementary age, our household moves quickly and our needs genuinely shift from week to week. We thrive on structure where we can create it, and we lean on our support team to help hold things together on the days when schedules overlap or life simply gets full. We are a home that values warmth, consistency, and follow-through. The kids are the heartbeat of everything we do, and we are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys being around children and takes pride in the small details that make a household run smoothly. We are practical, appreciative, and communicative — and we deeply value a partner who can step in confidently without being asked twice. You are the kind of person who notices what needs to be done before being asked, and you do it without fanfare. You are warm, patient, and at ease around children of all ages. Organization comes naturally to you, and you take real satisfaction in leaving things better than you found them. You adapt easily when plans shift, and you hold your commitments seriously — reliability is not just a trait for you, it's a core value. You communicate clearly and promptly, and you bring a calm, upbeat energy to the home. Above all, this role centers on the children — their care, their meals, their laundry, and the everyday tidying that keeps their world feeling calm and cared for. You don't treat this as a checklist; you genuinely invest in it, handling their routines, their space, and their day-to-day needs with the same care you'd bring to your own family. You find real fulfillment in showing up for kids — reading their mood, adjusting on the fly, and being a steady presence they can count on. We value flexibility as much as professionalism. Life here moves quickly and plans can shift without much notice, and you roll with that gracefully rather than needing everything mapped out in advance. You're collaborative by nature, comfortable suggesting a better way of doing something, and open to feedback without taking it personally — what doesn't work here is rigidity, lateness, or waiting for explicit direction before getting started. If you're someone who takes real ownership of a child's day-to-day world and finds genuine joy in doing it well, we'd love to hear from you.
