This particular opportunity is for a full-time live-out housekeeper position based at a luxurious multi-level penthouse located in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. The successful candidate will serve in a long-term role, taking over from a predecessor who loyally served a family for nine years. This position requires meticulous skill in high-end residential housekeeping, focusing on preserving valuable household items and delicate surfaces. The penthouse features three bedrooms and five bathrooms, with many rooms not in daily use, adding a layer of complexity to the cleaning and maintenance tasks. The work schedule runs Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm or 10 am to 6 pm, though the summer schedule is distinct, requiring availability for a live-in role at a Hamptons location from mid-July through September.

Compensation for this role is competitive, ranging from $40 to $50 per hour based on experience. The role demands professional discretion, respect for privacy, and an ability to work independently with strong attention to detail. Aside from regular cleaning upkeep, responsibilities will include laundering and ironing high-end clothing and linens, showcasing a need for expertise in garment care. Additional duties encompass preparing simple and healthy meals such as salads, pasta, and light dinners, reflecting the household's preference for convenience and quality. The candidate will also be responsible for light pet care, including short dog walks when the regular dog walker is not available, demonstrating flexibility and a caring approach to household members.

Elevator use is occasionally required to service the multi-floor penthouse, highlighting the importance of physical stamina and the ability to maneuver gracefully within an elite residence. This role is not only about cleaning but also preserving and enhancing the quality of life in the penthouse. It offers a rewarding and respected position for those who have a passion for maintaining luxury homes and a dedication to meticulous house care. The employer values loyal, long-term commitment, providing a stable and respectful work environment that fosters trust and professional growth. Candidates looking to build a career in high-end residential housekeeping will find this role an excellent fit for their skills and aspirations.Show Less
