For them, a wonderful personality and chemistry is important so they can therefore be flexible of what they are seeking in the sense of schedule and living in or out. The husband is from the UK and the wife is from Scotland. This role will be approximately 75% housekeeping and 25% home management.

Responsibilities

  • Day-to-day household cleaning of their 5 bed, 6.5+ bath, 7400 sq. ft. home (there are not many rooms in the home, but the rooms are very large. They don't use all of the rooms as it is just the 2 of them and their medium-sized breed dogs)

Requirements

  • Detail-oriented, reliable, and discreet
  • Prior experience in private homes
  • Must love dogs (not just tolerating dogs) as there will be dog care/petsitting involved
  • Someone who "mucks in" and isn't too precious in the sense of airs or attitude; someone who is easygoing, has a sense of humor, is honest, and loyal
  • Comfortable around a high-security system (using codes to lock/unlock windows and doors)
  • Can work on your own initiative; understand what needs to be done (I.E., looking up to see if cobwebs are present and removing accordingly, etc.)
  • Comfortable with lots of steps and getting on a ladder (lots of windows and French doors and cleaning windows is part of the job duties)
