What are the responsibilities and job description for the Weekly Housekeeper & Household Assistant position at HOME NEEDS?
Weekly Housekeeper & Household Assistant
We're looking for an exceptional housekeeper to become a long-term part of our family's routine. This is a weekly recurring position in our approximately 3,000-square-foot home with four children and one friendly dog (our dog does not do well with men, so we're specifically looking for a female housekeeper).
This is not a "quick clean" position. We're looking for someone who takes pride in creating a home that feels reset, organized, and meticulously maintained from top to bottom after every visit.
Trust Comes First
Trust is our number one priority. The right person will be working inside our family's home, sometimes while we're away. Honesty, integrity, discretion, professionalism, and reliability are absolutely essential.
