Extremely nice, very low-key family (returning client) with 2 young children, in part-time residence. Must be child and dog friendly.
The residence is a modern property, 6.5K sq ft over 6 floors and there is a lift. Modern interior and all bedrooms are en-suite. When the family are in residence you will be supported by a cleaning company who will come in 2-3 times per week to deep clean. It is essential you are self-motivated and proactive to keep the residence well-maintained when the family are away, as well as being comfortable working mainly solo during their absence.
The family visit the UK 3 or 4 times per year and could be here for up to 2+ months at a time. During school term time when in the UK, they will be in London during the week and spend weekends at their country home outside of London. Other household staff include a Chef, Nanny and a Housekeeper placed by us 5 years ago. The Nanny has also been there for 5 years, so very good staff longevity. The Chef and Nanny move between properties with the family and the other Housekeeper works at the country property, but will attend the London property occasionally. This is a first time permanent Housekeeper hire for their London residence.
Informal property and family. It is a very low key environment, so essential to master the art of knowing when to be visible and when to melt away. Family have 2-3 small dogs.
Interviewing now – ideally before mid July, and to start any time up to mid-August at the latest to ensure the new Housekeeper is settled in and familiar with the property before the family return in September.
