Housekeeper job (M/F) in Armonk, New York, USA
Job description
A friendly and welcoming family of four located in Armonk, New York is seeking a professional, mature, and long-term, live-out Housekeeper / Family Assistant.
The family consists of a married couple in their 40s (a stay-at-home mother and a full-time working father) and two children: a 9-year-old daughter and a 12-year-old son.
The focus of this position is to meticulously manage household duties, assist with daily organization, and provide reliable transportation for the children.
While the family maintains a relatively relaxed and warm home environment, they are seeking a candidate who brings exceptional professionalism, a strong work ethic, reliability, and high accountability to the position.
The ideal candidate takes their role seriously, can independently problem-solve, and communicates with respect and maturity, especially when interacting with the children.
