• Occasional light childcare or supervision as needed
• Optional light cooking or meal prep (a plus, but not required)
• Proactively identifying tasks and maintaining the home without constant direction

Ideal Candidate:

• Experienced, detail-oriented, and highly organized
• Self-starter who is observant and takes initiative
• Enjoys being in a home with children and is flexible when needs arise
• Professional, discreet, and dependable
• Strong communication skills in English
• Comfortable working in a large, busy household
• Takes pride in maintaining a clean, well-organized environment

Requirements:

• Prior experience working in a private home in a similar role
• Strong English communication skills
• Ability to manage a flexible schedule, including split shifts
• Willingness to live in and integrate respectfully into the household

Compensation & Schedule:

• Salary: $1,200–$1,500 per week (depending on experience and schedule)
