Overview

A wonderful down-to-earth family of four in Bedford, NY is seeking a live-out executive housekeeper to join their team. The schedule will be Monday through Friday from about 8am to 4pm (40 hours guaranteed). In the Summer months, the housekeeper will be expected to spend 2-3 consecutive days per week (Tuesday through Thursday, for example) at the family's home in the Hamptons; a separate accommodation will be provided there. Job duties will include the maintenance and deep cleaning, laundry, and organization of the 6-bedroom home. This will consist of day-to-day maintenance cleaning and tidying, heavier deep cleaning and organization, inventory tracking of dry goods and groceries, management of preparations for guest arrivals (about 1x per month), and overseeing daily operations of the home and any vendors or contractors coming in and out. Duties will also include some running of errands (e.g. the post office or dry cleaner), assistance with meal preparation, and occasionally helping when the principals are preparing to entertain guests. The family has two elementary-aged children. No childcare is required, but this person must be comfortable interacting with children, and it would be a plus if they were interested in occasional babysitting. The ideal candidate is organized, detail-oriented, and proactive. There are no other full-time staff in the home and the principals are in and out all day. There is a remote estate manager who the housekeeper will report to and coordinate with. The housekeeper must be a strong communicator, a team player who has a "no job too small" attitude, and must be willing to take feedback and carry out the principals' cleaning preferences. You must be confident and capable, but should have a keen understanding of the boundaries needed in a home. The couple hopes to have a long-term relationship with this person. It would be a huge plus if this person speaks Spanish. You must have a valid driver's license to be considered for the role. Competitive benefits (a monthly health-care stipend, PTO, Holidays, etc.) will be provided via the family office. If you are interested and are legal to work in the US, apply to EB502.
