Job Description

This position is with a distinguished client seeking an experienced Housekeeper to join their long-tenured team in Bridgehampton, NY. The hiring establishment represents a luxury private residence in the Hamptons, known for its high-end standards and meticulous attention to detail. As a luxury home in one of the most prestigious locations, the household maintains the highest standards of cleanliness and comfort, providing an exceptional living environment for the family and their guests. The employer values professionalism, teamwork, and a strong work ethic, making this an excellent opportunity for candidates who take pride in their work and enjoy contributing to a cohesive household team.

The role of the Housekeeper is highly hands-on and central to ensuring the seamless operation and appearance of this luxury home. The successful candidate will be detail-oriented and experienced in maintaining fine materials and surfaces with special care. This position requires private home experience, making familiarity with the unique demands and discretion needed in private households essential. Working closely under the guidance of a House Manager, the Housekeeper will collaborate with other team members to ensure that all cleaning and household duties are completed to the highest standards.

Beyond daily, deep, and seasonal cleaning, the Housekeeper will assist with laundry and ironing, aiming to keep all linens and clothing impeccably maintained. The role extends to supporting the household during meal times by helping set tables, assisting in meal preparation, and cleaning up as requested by the family’s chef. Additionally, the Housekeeper will occasionally run household errands, which require reliability, discretion, and a proactive approach to supporting the family’s lifestyle.

This role operates primarily Monday through Friday, with a schedule that adjusts seasonally. Off-season hours are generally from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, with flexibility for earlier start times if preferred. During the in-season, hours may vary to accommodate the family’s schedule, including the essential ability to work some weekends to assist with entertaining. The role offers excellent compensation, paying between $50 and $60 per hour, commensurate with experience and qualifications.

In addition to competitive pay, the position includes a comprehensive benefits package comprising an annual discretionary bonus, fully paid health insurance, 401(k) with match, life and disability insurance, paid holidays, and paid time off. This ensures the Housekeeper’s commitment is recognized not only through financial remuneration but also through supportive employee benefits. An immediate start is preferred, offering an opportunity for those ready to integrate quickly into an established, respectful, and professional private household environment.
