A professional couple in Washington, CT, is seeking two full-time career housekeepers to join their established team. Candidates should be detail-oriented, able to follow structured systems, and be comfortable working collaboratively under the House Manager's direction. There are two shift options available. The first shift is Monday through Friday from 7 am to 3 pm. The second shift is 12 pm to 8 pm. The family is also open to having the candidates work longer days for a shorter work week, as long as there is coverage from 7 am to 8 pm Monday through Friday.
