Overview

A warm and kind family is seeking a polished, self-directed, live-out Executive Housekeeper to maintain their large private residence. The household consists of a husband and wife, the husband’s father-in-law, and three beloved pets. The principals are busy professionals who travel frequently and value a home that runs smoothly and beautifully in their presence and absence alike. They have a strong track record of long-term staff retention, and they are looking for someone who will grow with them for the long haul.
