Overview
A returning BAHS client and her growing family are looking for a daily part-time executive housekeeper to join their team. The role is Monday through Friday, for 4 hours per day.

When applying, please indicate your availability by hour. This is an amazing family and team!
Responsibilities
Core responsibilities include:
- Daily tidy and reset of the primary bedroom and bath, home office, and kitchen/dining plus other rooms as needed (though they are typically lightly used)
- Full weekly clean of the remaining apartment (guest bedrooms, bathrooms, common areas)
- Laundry including light ironing and handling of delicates

- Proactive household organization projects (closets, pantry, storage)
- Household supply inventory and restocking
- Package management
Qualifications
- Self-directed, proactive, and able to maintain high standards without daily supervision.
- The right candidate sees what needs to be done and does it, whether that's the daily tidy or a closet reorganization they noticed was overdue.
- Genuinely proactive- not a task-follower but an independent standard-setter (e.g., sees a closet start to slip into disorder and proactively fixes it)
- Discreet, reliable, and comfortable working independently
- At ease in a kitchen for prep work (not cooking)
Requirements
- Minimum 5 years in a comparable private Manhattan household
- On-the-books employment; must have valid US work authorization
