Live-in Housekeeper - HERTFORDSHIRE

We are looking for a Live-in Housekeeper for a friendly family who live in a large 5-bedroom home in a beautiful village within Hertfordshire, North of London.

The family is composed of Mum, Dad and 3 children under the age of 15 year old. In addition to this, there are also 4 small dogs.

The house is a busy home, with lots of people/ guests coming and going, but it’s a fun home and environment to be in.

We are looking for a Housekeeper not only to assist with the household duties, but to also be a part of the home and family, someone who is looking to stay long term.

Duties and responsibilities may include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Keep all rooms vacuumed, dusted, clean and tidy at all times

  • Maintain the laundry and ironing

  • Change all bed linen, towels etc

  • Cooking – basic. If you can help prepare basic dinner for the kids (things like pasta etc) this would be great. If you can cook more than basic, that’s amazing but not essential.

  • Receive deliveries and deal with contractors

  • Help when the family is entertaining (prepare things, clear up afterwards etc)

  • In the summer the family spends a lot of time outside in the garden and at the swimming pool so make sure you change/ wash the swimming pool towels, etc.

  • Feed the 4 small dogs and let them out in the garden. Dad usually walks them.

  • Any other duties as needed

Working days and hours: Monday to Friday, between the hours of 7am and 8pm with lots of breaks in between. Saturday mornings are also required. 

Accommodation: The Housekeeper would have their own room and bathroom on the top floor of the house.

Requirements:

They are looking for someone with previous housekeeping experience in a private household.

Someone lovely and friendly, smiley with a cheerful personality, happy to work in a household with children, and also to be ‘part of the family’. Someone who can work on their own initiative and who will ‘hit the ground running’/ who will help run the house!

Salary: £700- £900 gross per week, depending on experience

Start: ASAP
