Description
DDA is in search for a long-term, PT, experienced Executive Housekeeper (EH) to work on salary up to 25/hours per week. The EH’s work schedule is flexible but she will most likely come in 2-3 times/week. The EH may be expected to help out on occasional weekends when the Principal is entertaining with advanced notice.
The ideal candidate is drama-free and can work well as a team player with another housekeeper and under the 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. Since this is a long-term position, we are looking for someone who can commit to this position for many years.
Other duties include, but are not limited to the following:
- All major housekeeping in 9k sq. ft. home
- Cooking and meal prep
- Running errands or grocery shopping as needed
- Laundry & ironing
- Managing cleaning supplies (restocking, purchasing etc.)
- Helping caterers during parties
- Assist other household staff as needed
- Deep cleaning
- Pet care
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 or with other housekeepers. The Principal is fully COVID-19 vaccinated and is requiring this of his household staff. Other qualities include great communication, organization and people skills. The EH is responsible for creating a clean and organized household while giving the Principal as much privacy as possible. Spanish/English speaking is preferred but not required as long as the EH can speak and understand English.
This is a local search open to those with experience in a private estate as an Executive Housekeeper with cooking and meal prep experience. Long-term tenure in a current or previous position is required, as well as excellent verifiable references.
