AE028 - Live-In Housekeeper/Cook - Houston, TX

Overview

A friendly, warm, and welcoming family is moving to River Oaks in Houston, TX mid August from London and is seeking an experienced Live-In Housekeeper / Cook to become a long-term member of their household starting at the end of August/Sept 1. They are looking for a seasoned professional who takes pride in maintaining an organized, welcoming home while providing light cooking and household support.

The family has an exceptional history of long-term household staff. They deeply value loyalty and longevity and are hoping to find someone who will become an integral part of their home for years to come. They truly consider their staff part of the family and enjoy celebrating birthdays and milestones together. They would like for the candidate to have occasional flexibility to travel with them to their home in the Hamptons in the July and August months, and other trips (case by case basis!)

They are seeking someone who can anticipate household needs, work with minimal direction, and take pride in creating a beautifully maintained home.
