Job Description
We are excited to offer a rewarding full-time employment opportunity for a dedicated Housekeeper to join a refined family household located in the historic and prestigious Beacon Hill neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. The family resides in a beautiful townhouse where the upkeep, organization, and cleanliness of the home reflect not only the family's lifestyle but also the rich heritage of this iconic community. As a premier domestic employer, the family is committed to maintaining a warm, orderly, and elegant home environment that supports their active and sophisticated lifestyle.
This role is tailored for a seasoned estate-level housekeeping professional with a strong sense of pride in their work, exceptional attention to detail, and the ability to implement consistent structure and routine. The Housekeeper will be entrusted with the responsibility of managing daily and deep cleaning tasks, the careful handling of delicate and valuable household items, and the seamless organization of closets and storage areas. They will play an essential and visible role in creating and preserving beauty and order throughout the home, ensuring that every space is impeccably maintained.
The ideal candidate will demonstrate a deep understanding of the care and maintenance of high-end materials, including antiques, artwork, crystal, fine china, silver, brass, marble, fine linens, and cookware. Beyond their technical skills, they will be distinguished by their warm and kind demeanor, emotional intelligence, and impeccable professionalism. A key component of the role is discretion, as the Housekeeper will work closely with the family, providing service while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries.
This is a long-term position designed for someone who thrives in a private household environment and takes joy in creating a welcoming, clean, and organized home. The successful candidate will thoughtfully manage their daily and weekly tasks to ensure minimal disruption to the family's routines and anticipate the family’s needs proactively. This role offers the opportunity to bring expertise to make meaningful improvements in the efficiency and systems within the home.
The standard schedule is Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with occasional flexibility for extended hours if needed, and the family is open to adjusting start times to accommodate the candidate's preferences. The compensation is competitive, starting at $45 to $52 per hour, depending on experience, and includes an excellent benefits package. Benefits include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) retirement plan with matching contributions, an annual discretionary bonus, paid holidays, paid time off, sick days, a health savings account (HSA), life insurance, and disability coverage. Transportation and parking stipends are also provided, with access to Boston Common Garage or convenient public transit options. This role offers stability, a supportive work environment, and the chance to be an integral part of a distinguished household in one of Boston’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
