Description
Busy family with newborn is in need of a FT, live-out executive housekeeper (EH) to start ASAP. The family has just relocated to Austin and they need someone who is available to start as early as August 2, 2020. It’s absolutely essential that the EH be able to sanitize the home throughout the day to keep the newborn and the family safe during this time. The family is being extra cautious and they may ask our candidates to test for COVID19 before an in-person interview but will cover the cost associated with any tests.
The EH’s work schedule is Monday-Friday with occasional weekends when the couple is entertaining. Hours are 8am-4pm with no travel needed. 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. 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 and schedule for many years.
Other duties include, but are not limited to the following:
All major housekeeping
Managing outside housekeeper help (for deep cleaning)
Laundry & ironing
Managing supplies (restocking, purchasing etc.)
Helping caterers during parties
Assist other household staff as needed
Deep cleaning
Light cooking
One of the most important qualities in the EH is that they have a great attitude with a strong work ethic. The EH should be able to work alone and around the family. Other qualities include great communication, organization and people skills. The EH is responsible for creating an environment of hard work, trust and respect as her role as the executive housekeeper.
