Join a Warm, Refined, and Well-Run Household

A high-profile family on the Upper East Side is seeking a Full-Time Executive Housekeeper to take the reins of maintaining their immaculate and meticulously organized 3,000 sq. ft. residence. This is an opportunity to step into a fully staffed home that operates on mutual respect, positivity, and high standards.

With a private chef, full-time nanny, and collaborative household team already in place, the family is looking for someone who is just as dedicated, detail-oriented, and professional. The current housekeeper of 9 years will be finishing her tenure with the clients in early June and will provide hands-on training to ensure a smooth transition.

The Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a poised and dedicated Executive Housekeeper with a refined eye for detail and a commitment to maintaining a polished, well-run household. This individual brings extensive experience caring for high-end homes and understands the nuances of fine garment care, luxury finishes, and meticulous organization.

They are discreet, trustworthy, and take initiative without the need for close supervision. Strong time management and a proactive mindset allow them to anticipate needs, stay ahead of tasks, and maintain an exceptionally high standard throughout the home. Comfort working alongside a fully staffed household—including a private chef and full-time nanny—is essential, as is the ability to communicate professionally and respectfully within a positive and structured environment.

Responsibilities Include

• Full deep cleaning and upkeep of a 3,000 sq. ft., single-level luxury apartment

• Expert-level laundry and ironing, including fine garments and delicate linens

• Maintaining and restocking all household (non-food) inventory — informing the lady of the home when supplies are running low

• Closet, drawer, and seasonal organization

• Vendor and contractor coordination and supervision

• Packing and unpacking for travel as needed

• Travel to the Hamptons with the family in the summer

• Identifying overlooked areas (i.e., behind shades, seams in linens, ceiling vents) and ensuring perfection in every detail

• Working seamlessly alongside the nanny, chef, and other staff in a collaborative, respectful environment

What the Family Values

• A positive, “can-do” attitude

• A quiet, respectful demeanor

• Clear communication and professionalism

• Someone who treats the home with care and pride as if it were their own

• A long-term, dedicated mindset

Requirements

• Minimum of 5+ years of private household housekeeping experience

• Strong English communication skills

• Excellent time management and organizational skills

• Strong references (2–3 required)

• Background check required

• Must be able to climb ladders and handle physically active tasks

• Must be paid legally on the books

• No driving required

If you are an experienced, discreet, and capable Executive Housekeeper looking to join a respectful and harmonious household, this is the role for you.
