This particular opportunity is for a Housekeeper position in the prestigious Gold Coast neighborhood of Chicago, a well-known area for its beautiful, historic homes and vibrant community. The role is full-time, offering a competitive hourly wage ranging from $40 to $60 based on experience, along with medical coverage, paid time off, holidays, and indoor paid parking.

This position is with a warm and respectful executive couple who maintain a stunning residence requiring daily care and impeccable organization. Unlike many housekeeping roles, this opportunity allows an individual to focus on maintaining the household's flow, order, and beauty rather than handling deep cleaning duties, which are already managed by a part-time housekeeper. The role demands a strong attention to detail and an appreciation for working in a well-managed, luxury home environment. The ideal candidate will enjoy the responsibility of fostering a calm, orderly, and beautifully presented household space, ensuring that every aspect of the home feels cared for and welcoming.

Responsibilities will include daily organization and maintenance of the home, caring for high-end furnishings, artwork, and wardrobes, managing laundry and linens with ironing and steaming, assisting with light meal preparation, grocery shopping, and household stocking. The role also requires occasional errands, coordination with vendors, and support with school pick-ups, all demonstrating the need for flexibility and a proactive, service-oriented approach. Working Monday through Friday from approximately 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (with some flexibility appreciated), the job offers a stable schedule that allows the housekeeper to integrate smoothly into the family’s lifestyle.

This opportunity is perfect for an experienced housekeeper who thrives in luxury home settings of 5,000 square feet or more, who takes pride in their work, and is eager for a long-term position with a professional family. The ideal candidate is reliable, professional, and embodies a growth mindset, welcoming feedback and adapting accordingly. City driving experience is necessary for running errands and managing household needs efficiently. Excellent references round out the qualifications for the role, underscoring the importance of trustworthiness and professionalism. Overall, this role offers both a rewarding and respectful working environment with meaningful benefits and a great compensation package, reflecting the value that the family places on quality household management.
