A warm and professional family of four based in Wendover, Buckinghamshire, is seeking an experienced and dependable housekeeper to support the smooth running of their home. They have two little girls, aged three years and six months. The both attend nursery each day. They also have two friendly dogs who are part of the family, so a dog lover is essential. Dad mainly works from home and Mum is on maternity leave until April, so a team player is essential.
They live in a stylish four-bedroom house and have a love of interior design.
The hours of the role are Monday-Thursday, 10.30-18.30 (32 hours/week).
The family has a weekly cleaner, for deep cleaning, so the housekeeper’s responsibilities will include:
• General tidying and organising throughout the home, with a daily reset of the kitchen, playroom, etc
• Children’s wardrobe and toy management/playroom organisation
• Family laundry (clothes and bedding) and ironing
• Changing beds regularly
• Household admin – online food orders, booking tickets, dry cleaning collection, post office runs, local food shopping (butchers, etc)
• Putting away household shopping
• Preparing and cooking a healthy and nutritious family meal, batch cooking when required
• Preparing packed lunches for the girls to take to nursery
• Occasional dog walking when required (they have a dog walker)
A duty car is available for running errands.
Although this is mainly a housekeeping role, someone who enjoys being around children and is happy to play the occasional game would be a lovely fit. Additional paid hours for overtime or babysitting may be available by mutual agreement.
The family hopes to find someone warm, trustworthy, and kind—someone who enjoys children and will bring a positive, supportive energy to their home. Someone who uses their initiative and is comfortable around dogs would be ideal.
