Description
Professional working couple is in need of a mature domestic couple or individual with long-term experience working as a property caretaker, domestic couple, housekeeper or house manager. The ideal candidate(s) will be older, flexible to work part-time to full-time hours when the couple is in residence and able to keep the property well kept and secure throughout the year. The couple is in on occasion throughout the year, with plenty of notice to the caretakers, but mostly during the winter months. This is only available for a couple or individual as it is not ideal for children. A small pet will be considered as long as it is well trained and will not be too loud or unfriendly with the couple's dog.
The caretaker's private quarters are a newly built 750 sq. ft. 2-bed, 1 bath casita with a beautiful view of the mountains in one of Santa Fe's most prestigious and historical areas near downtown. It is separated (the entrance is on the opposite end) but part of the same building at the couple's working loft office and 400 ft. from the couple's estate. Since the couple both works remotely from home, they are looking for someone who is able to give them privacy when they are in residence and still get their work done without having to be micromanaged.
The schedule when the couple is in residence is approximately M-F 8am-11am and again for dinner to cook, serve and clean up. Weekends will be on occasion from 9am-11am and possibly again at dinner with most Sundays off.
Other duties include but are not limited to the following, for the couple, when they are in residence:
Housekeeping at couple's estate
Laundry and ironing
Cooking and clean up
Grocery shopping
Running errands
Airport pickup and drop off
Stocking the fridge before the couple arrives
Keeping the cleaning supplies, toiletries and food organized and in stock
On-going duties when the couple is or is not in residence:
General basic home maintenance and repair
Keeping the couple's estate clean
General landscaping
Snow removal in winter
Pet care
Dog sitting
Gardening
Working with vendors (Spanish speaking a plus!)
Checking mail
Security for property
This position is available in December but we will be conducting interviews immediately. Out of state candidates must submit job-related resumes and photos to be considered. This is only for those who can give a long-term commitment and who plan on making Santa Fe their home for many years. Our clients are good, down-to earth people whose current household staff have been happily employed for 15+ years. Anyone who works for this couple will be blessed to have this position and will have job security as long as they are honest, hard working and flexible. This is perfect for an older, active couple or individual who values their work, privacy and the beauty of the mountains!
