Housekeeper with Butler Duties PLACED
Live-in, Full-time Executive Housekeeper with Butlering Duties
We are looking for a full-time live-in youthful candidate to support an informal couple in their LA home, 90210. The principals are young at heart --casual, but detailed-- everything has a place.
They are looking for a cultured, polite, and respectful candidate who can get along with the existing housekeeping team.
The house is 12,000 sq ft, and both principals work. Mrs. works from home and is in and out. Mr. goes to the office daily.
There are no children, and the couple travel frequently. Part of the role is house-sitting when the couple travel and watch/care for their two Pomeranians. The ideal candidate would need to be in the house on weekends, mornings, and evenings when there is no housekeeper on duty.
The schedule is flexible for the right candidate. The two housekeepers who have been with the couple for the past nine years are willing to cover shifts as needed.
The regular schedule would be Monday through Friday, with support on the weekends, as needed.
The couple would like the candidate to assist in serving drinks, and prepaing a casual dinner periodically. (This can be ordered, plated and served) The housekeeper/butler is expected to oversee catering when the couple has an event in the house, and ensure everything is put away, and the place is returned to normal after the event. Turn down service would be required.
