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

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.
