VV340 - Full-Time, Live-In Or Live-Out, Laundress/Housekeeper - Washington, Connecticut

A professional couple is looking for a long-term, full-time, live-in or live-out, laundress/housekeeper. The live-in option can be living-in 100% or just during the work week. The live-in accommodation will be either the guest house or off-site apartment nearby (the client is still deciding on this). The role starts as soon as possible and relocation is not being offered.

The family includes the mother, father, a college-aged child, and a pre-teen -aged child. They have 2-medium sized dogs. Other staff includes an executive housekeeper. This person must have several years of experience as a laundress/housekeeper in a high-net worth home caring for high-end articles. To be successful in this role, you must have extreme attention to the care for all items, ranging from bedroom linens, to kitchen linens, window dressings, high-end clothing, bathroom linens, and also making sure to separate everything accordingly- such as washing the dogs towels separately, and in the washer and dryer that is designated just for the dogs items. The laundress/housekeeper must be exceptional at doing all laundry, ironing, and steaming. If something must be dry cleaned, then it will have to be taken into NYC to be dry cleaned. This will be up to the laundress/housekeeper and the executive housekeeper to take to/from the dry cleaners in NYC, as the family does not like any of the local dry cleaners. The laundress/housekeeper must be polished, professional, and personable.

The laundress/housekeeper will also help with regular housekeeping of the home, when needed. It would be a bonus to hire someone who has experience with table service and serving, or at least who is willing to learn. This will be needed to help with dinner parties.

Hours will ideally be Monday through Friday, 9am-5pm, but you should be flexible as needed. The family is offering medical, PTO, paid sick/personal days, main federal holidays paid, and a discretionary yearly bonus. The laundress/housekeeper must have their U.S. Birth Certificate, valid U.S. Passport, or a valid Permanent Resident Card (Green Card). This person must drive and must have a car. COVID vaccine is not required. If interested, apply to VV340.
