A wonderful family located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, NY is seeking a full-time housekeeper to start ASAP. The role is live-out when in the city, and live-in when in the Hamptons for the summers. The general schedule for the main part of the year (September through mid June) will be Monday through Friday, 12pm-8pm, for a guaranteed 40 hours per week, with some flexibility for shifting Fridays to 2pm-10pm when/if they entertain. This will happen a few times per month. The schedule for the Summer (mid June-August) will be Friday through Tuesday, with Friday-Sunday/Monday at their residence in the Hamptons, and Monday/Tuesday back in the city. Your days off during the Summer will be Wednesday/Thursday. The family keeps a Kosher home, and asks that you respect those guidelines, but are more than happy to teach you how to help maintain a Kosher home if you are not familiar with it. The family also has two older kids, ages 12-years and 14-years-old. You will not be responsible for the kids, but the family does ask that you like kids and are able to have a positive relationship with them.
