JB038 - Full-Time Housekeeper - Newburgh, NY

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, and a full-time nanny is already in place.

The primary residence is in Newburgh, New York, and the role includes weekly upkeep of a secondary residence also in Newburgh belonging to the client's father.
