Domestic Couple – Aspen, CO - CLOSED
Domestic Couple – Aspen, CO
A wonderful family in Aspen is looking to hire a domestic couple to oversee their vacation home, along with an additional home that is currently under construction. The ideal couple will have broad experience in all aspects of domestic service, a hands-on approach to housekeeping, food and beverage service, and a demonstrated ability to maintain a home in pristine condition.
When the family is in residence—which is approximately six weeks per year (four weeks in the summer and two in the winter)—they enjoy a fun, relaxed atmosphere. Excellent bartending and serving skills are highly desirable, and at least one member of the couple should be confident in the kitchen. While they are not seeking a Michelin-starred chef, they do appreciate delicious, home-cooked meals.
The family, an informal couple in their early 70s, has two adult daughters and three grandchildren. Aside from their vacation visits, they may occasionally visit for a weekend or host friends. The environment is best described as casual elegance—a hallmark of the Aspen lifestyle.
