A warm and active family is seeking an experienced and professional Housekeeper to join their household for September and October, with the role continuing long term. The family consists of a hands on stay at home mother, her husband, a 4 year old daughter, a 15 month old daughter, and a son due at the end of November. The family is currently based in Spring Lake, New Jersey through early September.
The family will transition to their home in Brickell, Miami in September 2026, where this role will be based for the remainder of the year going forward, with summers returning to New Jersey annually. With the children now in school for part of the day, the family needs someone who can keep the home running smoothly and take full ownership of the household. The mother is home most of the time and deeply involved in her children’s daily lives. She is not looking for someone to replace her presence but rather someone who can move seamlessly alongside her, anticipate what needs to be done, and bring a calm, capable, and professional energy to the household every single day. This is not a role for someone who needs constant direction. The ideal candidate understands where the line is between warm and professional and holds it with confidence.
The role is structured around the natural flow of the family’s day. The typical schedule will be Monday through Friday from 8:00am until 6:00pm, with flexibility required. Flexibility is essential, as no 2 days look exactly the same in a home with young children.
• Full charge of household cleaning, including bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, and common living spaces
• Laundry, folding, and organizing for the whole family, including the girls’ clothing and the baby’s wardrobe once he arrives
• Grocery shopping and light meal preparation, with a focus on organic home cooked meals a few nights per week
• Tidying after meals and playtime, always keeping the home guest ready
• Resetting rooms and living spaces at the end of each day
• Managing household inventory and restocking supplies as needed
• Coordinating with vendors, deliveries, and household staff as needed
• Occasional light childcare support during school pickup gaps or if the mother needs an extra set of hands
The ideal candidate is polished, self-directed, and genuinely professional. They understand that a warm working relationship and a friendly one are not the same thing, and they bring the kind of steady, reliable energy that a busy household depends on. They take pride in running a home with precision and care, are comfortable with the natural unpredictability of life with small children, and approach each day with flexibility and a positive attitude. Prior experience supporting a hands on, present parent in the home is strongly preferred.
• Minimum 5 years of professional housekeeping experience in a private home
• Comfortable working alongside and in support of a present, hands on mother
• Cooking skills with a focus on organic, home cooked family meals a plus
• Strong organizational and household management skills
• Ability and willingness to travel domestically and internationally with the family
• Valid passport required
• Comfortable around water and in pool environments
• Valid driver’s license a plus
• Legal to work in the US
