Overview

A warm, wonderful family of 5 on the Upper East Side is seeking an experienced, polished, and detail-oriented full-time housekeeper to join their household team. The family resides in a two-floor apartment just under 4,500 square feet and is looking for a professional who takes pride in maintaining a highly organized and well-run home environment.

The ideal candidate is experienced in high-level housekeeping and laundry care, thrives in a collaborative household setting, and has a positive, team-oriented attitude. This is a wonderful opportunity for someone discreet, proactive, flexible, and comfortable working in a friendly household alongside existing staff.

The general schedule will be Sunday through Thursday from 8:00/9:00am to 6:00/7:00pm, with flexibility depending on the family’s needs. The family is also open to the candidate working alternate days and times; however, Sunday is not negotiable. The family spends the month of August in the Hamptons, and the candidate will be required to live-in and work 4 days a week, and will have 3 days off during that time. The candidate will be able to go home on days off, and commuting expenses will be covered.

This position is ideal for a career housekeeper seeking a long-term role within a warm, respectful, and well-supported household environment.
