A busy professional family of four is seeking a part-time, live-out housekeeper to help manage their home. Their children are 13 and 15 year old, very self-sufficient and self-disciplined with their routines and schoolwork, but still want someone around who is conversational and kind. The schedule can be flexible to be set, but Monday will be a full day, ideally 9-6pm, and Tuesday - Thursday to be 1-6pm. The minimum hours per week is 25 hours. The family lives in a 5 story brownstone, and would like the deep cleaning to be done Mondays, with the other three days for tidying, cooking, and overseeing the household.
The ideal housekeeper is someone who is energetic, kind, communicative, with a strong attention to detail and experienced in prior housekeeping roles with strong references. They have a large dog who barks at new people, so it is imperative that candidates love dogs and have no fear. Housekeeper will be responsible for full care related to the home including laundry + linens, meal preparation, rare errands, and occasional pick up of youngest child from activities. Simply put: someone who is loving and conscientious cleaner, upbeat and thoughtful will do so well with this family.
