What are the responsibilities and job description for the Travel/Live In Housekeeper position at Household Staffing?
A UHNW family is seeking an experienced and highly skilled Live-In Housekeeper to provide the highest level of white-glove service across their residences in The Hamptons, Miami, and Beverly Hills. The ideal candidate must have prior experience working in a formal private home or chartered yacht experience, as both backgrounds have proven successful in this role.
This position requires a self-starter who can operate independently, manage their responsibilities efficiently, and serve as the eyes and ears of the home when the principals are away. While the home is fully staffed, the family would appreciate someone who can assist with meal prep and simple cooking when needed.
Flexibility is key—work schedules will fluctuate based on the principals' presence. For example, the candidate may work 10 consecutive days when the principals are in residence but have significantly reduced hours when they are away. Private accommodations will always be provided.
Key Responsibilities:
- Maintain the home to impeccable standards, ensuring all areas are spotless and well-organized.
- Provide white-glove housekeeping service, including deep cleaning, laundry, wardrobe care, and ironing.
- Assist with meal prep and simple cooking as needed.
- Oversee household organization, ensuring all items are stocked and replenished.
- Handle delicate fabrics, antiques, and high-end furnishings with care.
- Work independently and take initiative to maintain the home in the principals' absence.
- Report any maintenance or security concerns, acting as the eyes and ears of the property.
- Collaborate with other household staff, fostering a team-oriented environment.
- Travel between residences as required, maintaining consistency and excellence across properties.
Requirements:
- Extensive experience in a formal home or high-end hospitality/yachting background.
- Self-sufficient, proactive, and detail-oriented, with the ability to anticipate needs.
- Flexible with scheduling—able to work long days when needed and adjust when the principals are away.
- Strong references from previous long-term employers in UHNW households or similar environments.
- Ability to travel frequently between residences (private accommodations provided).
- Must be discreet, professional, and uphold the highest standards of confidentiality.
- Legal to work in the U.S.
Compensation & Benefits:
- $100K–$130K per year, depending on experience.
- Health insurance and paid time off (PTO).
- Private living quarters provided at each residence.
This is an incredible opportunity for a top-tier professional seeking a long-term position with a prestigious family. If you meet the qualifications and have a passion for excellence, we invite you to apply.
