Household Manager & Family Assistant (with Childcare & Meal Prep Support)

**Job Title:** Household Manager & Family Assistant (with Childcare & Meal Prep Support) **Location:** Pleasantville, NY 10570 **Employment Type:** Part-Time | 15–20 hours per week (15 hours guaranteed) **Schedule:** Monday–Friday, approximately 3:00–4:00 PM – 7:00 PM. Start time may shift earlier on heavier weeks to allow time for meal prep and household reset before the 6:00 PM daycare pickup. Flexibility for occasional cat sitting or weekend childcare is a bonus! **Compensation:** $35–$40 per hour, commensurate with experience **Start Date:** ASAP **Requirements** **About Our Family** We are a busy, active family of three living in Pleasantville, NY, with two cats. Both parents hold demanding full-time jobs and commute into the city most weekdays, which means mornings are fast-moving and afternoons are a sprint to the finish. The late afternoon and evening window is where our household most needs support, and we're looking for someone who can step in and make that stretch feel manageable instead of chaotic. Our toddler is full of personality, curiosity, and energy, and thrives in an imaginative, screen-free environment. We love being outside and keeping weekends casual — we run hard during the week and value our downtime together. Having moved into our home not long ago, we're open-minded, collaborative, and ready to hand over the reins to someone who genuinely cares about building a well-functioning home with us. **Who You Are / What We're Looking For** You're the right person for this role if you walk into a room, take stock, and know what needs to happen next without being asked. You approach a new home the way a project manager approaches a new assignment — you make a plan and execute it, and you get genuinely excited about building systems and documenting where things live. You are warm, kind, and energetic, with a genuine love for this type of work and the enthusiasm to engage an emotive, imaginative toddler. Three things matter most in this role, and we need someone who treats all three as non-negotiable: being reliably at daycare pickup without fail, bringing real care and consistency to daily meal prep, and closing out each day with a genuine organizational reset so the house feels calm and ready by morning. You are comfortable enforcing gentle boundaries with young children and understand the value of imagination-first, screen-free play. You are efficient, reliable, and trustworthy, with a low tolerance for wasted time and a high standard for follow-through. You are a self-starter who reads the room and knows when to take initiative and when to check in. If you've supported a busy household before and loved it, this role was made for you. **Key Responsibilities** **Family Support & Child Assistance** **Household Management & Organization** **Meal Planning & Prep** **Laundry & Linens** **Inventory & Errands** **Pet Care** **Deep Cleaning & Special Projects** **Vehicle Upkeep** **Vendor & Property Oversight** **Administrative & Personal Assistant Support** **How to Apply** To apply, please submit a short intro letter telling us about yourself and why this role is a great fit, an updated resume, and 3 professional references with current contact information. **Please note that this role requires a background check.** *When you apply with Sage Haus, you'll also be added to our candidate community email list so we can share hiring updates, resources, and opportunities.
