Description
Family of six is in need of an experienced Laundress (or someone willing to be trained) to start ASAP. The family has two homes and several housekeepers that the Laundress will work with. It will be the responsibility of the Laundress to make sure the family’s laundry, linens and dry cleaning are property maintained, cleaned, treated and ironed. Ideal candidates will have a general understanding on how to treat and clean different fabrics and be able to help the housekeepers in other areas if needed.
The Laundress’ work schedule is Monday-Friday. Hours are TBD, which will reflect a 40-45 hour workweek. Flexibility to stay later or come in earlier when needed is essential.
The ideal candidate is a natural hard worker who is mature and will not participate in any gossip or drama. She should also work well as a team player and will work under the Lead Executive Housekeeper. We are looking for those who have a minimum of 3+ years of professional laundress or housekeeping experience, a strong work ethic and long-term tenure with previous families. Spanish speaking is a plus. Since this is a long-term position, we are looking for someone who can commit to this family for many years.
This is a hands-on position, which does include both cleaning and the management of the family’s laundry and household linens. Some of the most important qualities in the Laundress are that she has a positive attitude and works well with others or independently. The Laundress should also have good people skills and hopefully be a pleasure to be around.
