Please - Local NYC area candidates only, thank you!
Super busy household in midtown Manhattan with small children, offering a great opportunity to join a great service team who works well together and enjoys serving the family!
Schedule is Monday - Friday, 7AM - 4PM.
The cooking needed on most days is about 80% family style (not gourmet), with attention to preferences of each of the four family members, including some vegan and attention to allergens. An interest in following new recipes that the family requests is a needed part of this culinary adventure! All meals are served casual family style in the kitchen. A simple breakfast at 7:30AM for up to four persons, and dinner is prepared and put-away in the fridge every day before departure at 4PM. On Fridays, there may be lunches added. The successful candidate will be very flexible with their plans and able to adopt to the naturally changing landscape of family life. Shopping nearby at Whole Foods and also online at specialty grocers, so you will need to be very comfortable with navigating websites for various products.
Staff and principals mostly communicate through group text messaging apps, so a high comfort level with this type of communication is essential!
You will be working alongside another Housekeeper who focuses on cleaning only, and asssiting this person a couple of hours per day with general cleaning and laundry. You will need to come with a knowledge of fabric care labels, and know how to speciality wash and dry different items as needed to care for them properly. The "Senior" aspect of this position is that of a willingness to take charge and answer for all Housekeeping duties and success and communicate frequently with the principals on all housekeeping matters.
When the family travels, about one week out of each month, your job reverts to 100% housekeeping and deep cleaning projects, as you determine are needed. You will report to both the principals and the House Manager, yet we are looking for a self-starter who takes the initiative to find projects and not wait to be instructed.
Above all else: we are looking for someone who is pro-active in approaching others and offering their help to co-workers and the principals, and does not simply wait on the side to be asked. You will know if you are this type of personality and the type that would be successful here; please only apply for this opportunity if this is you :)
Thank you for considering this offering and we hope to hear from those who believe they could both add value to our team and find success here for their career!
