Overview

A father and son on the Upper East Side are seeking an afternoon housekeeper who can maintain a tidy home and cook simple dinners.  The regular schedule is a guaranteed Monday through Friday from 3pm to 8pm.  The family is seeking someone who is looking for longevity, as most of their employees have been with them for a long time!  While the home is casual and informal, the team always works to their best.  The role needs to have someone in place for May so they are ready to hire when the right candidate applies!
