Overview

Hello! We are looking for a dependable, organized, and proactive Executive Housekeeper / Household Assistant to join a busy private household and help keep the home running smoothly.

This is a varied role for someone who enjoys creating a clean, comfortable, and well-organized home, takes pride in their work, and likes being one step ahead of what needs to be done. Responsibilities will include housekeeping, laundry, household organization, grocery shopping, meal preparation, and general day-to-day household support.

We are open to candidates with a variety of backgrounds, including professional housekeeping, hotel housekeeping, private household work, hospitality, cooking, or household management. The most important qualities are a positive attitude, reliability, good judgment, attention to detail, and a willingness to take ownership of daily responsibilities. Must be able to work independently and self-directed, with little supervision.

This is a non-live-in position. The household also has a 9-month-old baby, with the parents and nanny responsible for primary childcare. Occasional light assistance with baby-related tasks may be needed.

Key Responsibilities:

Housekeeping & Home Organization

- Follow the family's food preferences, recipes, dietary needs, and daily schedule.
- Help plan meals, prepare grocery lists, and keep track of kitchen supplies.
- Prepare snacks and simple meals throughout the day.
- Keep the kitchen clean and organized, including washing dishes, storing leftovers, and resetting the space after meals.

- Organize grocery deliveries and put purchases away properly.
- Maintain an orderly refrigerator, freezer, pantry, and storage areas.

Family & Household Support

- Work respectfully alongside the parents and nanny to support the smooth running of the household.
- Occasionally assist with simple baby-related tasks, such as preparing bottles or food, washing baby dishes, or tidying the nursery.
- Provide occasional light assistance or supervision when requested; primary childcare remains the responsibility of the parents and nanny.
- Help with additional household tasks as priorities change throughout the day.

Who Would Be a Good Fit?

We are looking for someone who is friendly, trustworthy, practical, and takes pride in doing a job well.

You may be a great fit if you:

- Enjoy keeping a home clean, organized, and running smoothly.
- Are comfortable preparing everyday family meals and managing basic meal planning.

- Are comfortable working around a young child and alongside a nanny.
- Communicate well, respect privacy, and maintain appropriate professional boundaries.

Schedule & Availability

This is a non-live-in position with a schedule that may vary depending on the family's needs.

Typical hours will generally fall between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM, with some days potentially extending until approximately 8:00 PM.

Flexibility is important, and candidates should be comfortable with occasional longer days and reasonable changes to the daily schedule. Specific hours and scheduling expectations can be discussed during the interview process.

Compensation

$25–$30 per hour, depending on experience, skills, and overall fit. May be asked for a trial cleaning day to showcase experience and professionalism.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys being a reliable, valued part of a household and making everyday life easier for a busy family.

We appreciate someone who takes pride in their work, notices the little things, and understands that a well-run home is about more than cleaning. Whether it is preparing a meal, keeping laundry under control, organizing the pantry, or making sure everything is ready for the day ahead, your contribution will make a real difference.

If you are dependable, enjoy creating an organized home, and are looking for a varied role where you can use your skills and take initiative, we would love to hear from you.
