Description
Single father of four older children is in need of a long-term, live-in couple to start 2/1/2020. The Principal will only have his children 30% of the time, as his ex-wife is their primary caretaker. His children are ages 14-18 so the couple will not need any professional childcare experience but personality must work well with teenagers. The main home is 7,000 sq ft on 40 acres of land with a full working ranch and surrounded by thousands of acres of government land. The family employees a ranch caretaker for all the animals and general ranch maintenance.
The salary will be based on the couple's experience, skillsets and the duties they provide. Duties will include, but are not limited to the following:
Housekeeping
Laundress
Healthy Cooking (Breakfast at 6:30am when the children are home & 7:30/8am when it's just the Principal. Dinner at 6pm)
Grocery Shopping
Meal Planning (packing children's lunches when they're home)
Running Errands (dry cleaning, home supplies, feed store etc.)
Pet Care (they are getting 2 Rottweiler puppies)
Home Management (vendors, security, organizing, mail etc.)
Scheduling (trips for the family, Principal's Outlook calendar, Vet appointments etc.)
Handyman (general household maintenance, simple repairs, outdoor cleaning, cleaning Principal's vehicle, general landscaping etc.)
Spanish speaking candidates are a plus but not as important as experience. The couple's guesthouse is 800 sq ft, 1/bed, 1/bath will full amenities (TV, WiFi, Washer/Dryer & Kitchen) with no enclosed yard. Pets of any size are allowed as long as they are friendly with chickens, pigs, cows and other ranch animals. The main home has a jacuzzi, gym and pool the couple is free to use when the Principal is not home or using it himself.
For the right couple, this is an opportunity of a lifetime! The location is also perfect for those who love the seclusion of the outdoors to garden, mountain bike (there are miles of trails) and to live on a beautiful ranch surrounded by thousands of acres of land and animals. One of the most important qualities in a couple is their understanding and ability to cook delicious, healthy meals. The Principal is very athletic and into nutrition and the importance of eating clean whole foods. While the other duties are just as important, the right couple will have excellent cooking skills with a general understanding of clean eating.
