Description
Austin family of 5 with a new baby on the way is in need of a FT, live-out executive housekeeper (EH) to start ASAP. The family needs someone who is COVID-19 vaccinated since they are expecting and have young children. The EH’s work schedule is Monday-Friday with occasional weekends when the couple is entertaining. Hours are approximately 8am-4pm and flexibility to stay later or come in earlier when needed is essential.
The ideal candidate is drama-free and can work well as a team player and under the family’s household manager and another EH. We are looking for EH’s who have a minimum of 10+ years of professional experience, a strong work ethic, long-term tenure with previous families, a positive attitude and great communication skills. Spanish speaking is a plus, but the housekeeper must be able to speak English and legally work in the US. Since this is a long-term position, we are looking for someone who can commit to this position.
Other duties include, but are not limited to the following:
- All major housekeeping
- Organizing household items
- Attention to detail in all work
- Laundry & ironing
- Helping manage supplies (restocking, purchasing etc.)
- Helping caterers during parties
- Assist other household staff as needed
- Communicating and working with Head Executive Housekeeper
- Deep cleaning
- Cleaning fine art
- Linen and silver care
- Training from Head Housekeeper
One of the most important qualities in the EH is that they have a positive friendly attitude with a strong work ethic. The EH should be able to work alone, with other housekeepers and around the family while giving them as much privacy as possible. Ideal candidates should not feel intimidated by the family but can kindly great them with a nice smile and “good morning” for example.
This is a local search open to those with experience working in a large private estate as a housekeeper. Long-term tenure in a current or previous position is required, as well as excellent verifiable references.
