Butler Job and Vacancy
A well-mannered and pro-active Butler/Majordomo is required to support a renowned ski and resort fashion family based near Denver, in Vail, Colorado, US. The butler will be working in an elegant alpine home in the mountain paradise of Vail, Colorado.
The house consists of 4 bedrooms, including the master bedroom, and is lived in only by two healthy and active 79-year-old principals who still work all day, along with their Bernese mountain dog, there are no children at home.
Both principals work each day at the corporate office one mile from home so the home is quiet during the days with no one to attend to except for in the mornings and evenings and at noon when they come home for lunch and dinner.
However, the principals host international guests and college-age grandchildren in their three guests rooms and entertain as often as two nights a week.
Throughout the festive seasons (Christmas and Easter), the family hosts elegant family celebrations so starting from November the household is particularly busy.
There is one full-time housekeeper already on staff, and an on-call chef who cooks for family celebrations.
The ideal candidate for this employment opportunity must enjoy the elegant European alpine lifestyle, is highly anticipative and pro-active, and loves organizing the lives of the principals.
The ability to cook and serve and have a love of the culinary arts is essential.
The principals are warm, kind, caring, generous and endearing people with a wonderful joie de vivre, sense of humor, and beautiful family with whom they are very close.
Start: Ideally before October 1st.
