Overview
A warm and professional family is seeking an experienced Full-Time Housekeeper to join their household. The family includes two parents and a young daughter, nearly 5 years old, and a full-time nanny is already in place. The client is largely office-based during the day, meaning the housekeeper will enjoy a high degree of autonomy and is expected to manage their own time with professionalism and initiative. This is an excellent opportunity for a seasoned household professional who thrives when trusted to run a home independently. The primary residence is in Newburgh, and the role includes periodic light upkeep of a secondary residence in Florida belonging to the client’s father. The Florida component is minimal, focused on dusting and keeping the home guest-ready ahead of infrequent visits. The family has no pets due to allergies. The schedule is Monday through Friday, approximately 8:00am to 4:00 or 4:30pm, totaling approximately 40 hours per week. The client is open to some flexibility on exact hours for the right candidate. The family is looking to hire as soon as the right person is identified.
