Job Description

The hiring establishment is a private residence in Roseland, New Jersey, where an older, gentle, and kind couple is relocating to a brand-new home designed for long-term comfort and high-quality living. This family values privacy, mutual respect, health-conscious living, organic food, natural wellness practices, and calm communication. The home encompasses approximately 5,000 square feet over two floors, and it offers a refined, peaceful environment with high standards of care and presentation.

The role available is that of an Elegant Lifestyle Assistant / Professional Experienced Housekeeper. This position is far more than typical housekeeping; it demands a person who embodies discretion, professionalism, emotional intelligence, and a high level of organization. The ideal candidate becomes a trusted stabilizing presence who helps manage and maintain the daily rhythm and exceptional presentation of the home, ensuring the environment remains serene, orderly, and impeccably cared for.

Emphasizing a hospitality-minded service, this role combines meticulous housekeeping, expert fine laundry and linen care, ironing, steaming, light cooking and wellness kitchen support, detailed household organization, and occasional chauffeur duties. The assistant is expected to provide seamless support to the household by anticipating needs respectfully, supporting a calm and efficient daily operation, and communicating clearly and professionally with the principals and their family members.

The position requires excellent spoken and written English communication skills, comfort with digital communication methods such as texting and emailing, and the ability to handle household technology. Additionally, a valid driver’s license and clean driving record are necessary, as occasional trips including errands and appointments in New York City may be required. This role offers a salary range of $145,000 to $150,000 per year, along with a healthcare stipend, paid holidays, two days off per week, and two weeks of paid vacation, complemented by the possibility of a separate private apartment for the right candidate.

This opportunity is well-suited for candidates with a strong professional housekeeping background within private homes, possessing warm and gentle personality traits, emotional intelligence, discretion, and respect for privacy and boundaries. The family is seeking a long-term relationship and aims to build a respectful and supportive partnership that fosters stability and excellence within the home setting.
