Description
Mature, busy couple with three properties in Oregon and California in need of an experienced Executive Housekeeper/PA. Qualified candidates will live in Portland approximately 7 months a year with occasional trips to the Oregon coast while the rest of the year is spent in Palm Springs. The travel is not back and forth and will be covered by the couple. There will be a private condo and car provided to the candidate in Palm Springs, CA for both on and off duty use. In Oregon, there will also be a private condo provided to the EH where she can keep her own vehicle for off duty use.
This is a long-term, full-time position and the candidate will need to be flexible to work weekends and overtime if needed. Hours are M-F 9am-3pm typically.
The main duties and responsibilities of the Executive Housekeeper/House Manager are as follows:
All major housekeeping duties
Working with other housekeepers as a team
Managing the three properties
Laundress duties
Occasional cooking for couple
Running errands
Grocery shopping
Driving principal
Organizing homes
Pet care for two dogs (dog sitting, feeding, walking, driving to appointments)
Preparing homes for principals return
Stocking fridge and household supplies
Must be computer savvy
Traveling with employers and independently to properties
This position would be best for a single individual as there is a lot of long-term travel required. Those with pets, spouses or dependents would have to be away for 6-month increments so while it’s not a requirement, we’re looking for someone who is able to commit to this couple for many years as this is a long-term position. The ideal candidate should be happy with a very busy work schedule and a lot of travel. While the EH will be working independently 90% of the time, once a week she will have a helper (another housekeeper) for deep cleaning at each property.
