FILLED - Part time, Live-out Housekeeper/Assistant needed in the Upper East Side, NYC  - Ref. #ESWE0502

A close-knit and loving family of 4 in the UES is seeking a part-time, live-out housekeeper with some nanny care to prepare dinner, do laundry, and keep up with the basic daily tidiness of their home. Their sons are 12 and 14, and are incredibly self-sufficient, serious students, and self-disciplined. The schedule will be at minimum 25 hours a week, 2-7pm Monday-Friday, however they would gladly offer more hours to someone who had the ability to iron and deep clean the apartment. The family presently has someone who does deep cleaning bi-monthly.

The ideal housekeeper is someone who is friendly and kind, at ease with mature teens, have excellent communication, and proactive to take charge of the schedule (when there is downtime, go do something fun with the boys, and if there are things that need repaired and replaced, have confidence and ability to take that on).  Housekeeper will be responsible for care related to the home and children including snack and dinner cooking via recipes, laundry, and transporting to a weekly appointment or practice.


Caregiver MUST...
-  be legally authorized to work in the USA for at least one year
-  be comfortable in a home with a cat
-  be able to lift up to 35 lbs.
-  be an experienced, licensed driver with a clean record if you are able to travel part-time in the summer to Long Island
-  hold a valid CPR/First Aid certification or will renew
-  be comfortable to cook dinner for the family and follow recipes

-  have an understanding of the independence and empowerment of teens
-  have a warm disposition, be organized, and be a self-starter
-  have impeccable communication skills, and understand the unique relationship of private care in someone’s home


Special consideration given to those candidates who have long-term housekeeping, childcare experience with teens, can travel to Long Island occasionally (must drive if so), and those can iron and do exceptional deep cleaning. Salary is $600-750/week for 25 hours a week, plus 3 weeks paid vacation and holidays.
