Executive Housekeeper

Overview

An executive housekeeper is sought for a ~4500 square foot home (2 bedrooms, 3 offices, laundry room, kitchen, living room, dining room, library, and 6 x bathrooms) on the Upper East Side. This is a formal home, and the schedule will be 9:00 am-5:00 pm Monday through Friday. Candidates will be working as a cohesive, supportive, and harmonious team alongside the family’s long-term housekeeper, and the schedule will be Monday, Tuesday and Friday from 9 am-5 pm, and Wednesday and Thursday from 12 noon-8 pm. This role will start asap.

Responsibilities

  • Care for antiques, manage all laundry for 2 x principals and guests (when applicable), run miscellaneous errands, and be poised and eloquent when the principal is receiving guests
  • Walking and feeding the principals’ 2 x dogs - a Shih Tzu (10lbs) and a Labrador (50lbs). There is a dog walker for the mornings.
  • Be willing to assist the Chef when the principals entertain
  • Be flexible to accommodate the principals’ schedule when they entertain or travel
  • The principals spend June, July, and August outside of the City, so candidates will be able to work a reduced schedule during this time. It would be ideal if the candidate could travel with the principals to their second home in Nantucket during the month of June and August (even if only for a few weeks), but this is not essential

  • Available to start ASAP

Salary and Benefits

  • $47++/hr + overtime after 40 hours
  • Healthcare (medical, dental, vision), 401k, and all other industry-standard benefits (i.e. 2 x weeks PTO/ statutory sick days/ Federal holidays and guaranteed hours)
