Private family located in Miami (Key Biscayne) approx. 9 months/year is in search of a full time , quiet, happy, easy going, competent and self starting housekeeper. They will be expected to do some modest housemanager duties as well as be expected to care for the dogs and support the nanny as needed. Must like big dogs and be able to dog/house sit when they travel ( Around 5x/year). This is a core priority.

The family is in Jackson Hole, WY for the summers, and the housekeeper will be expected to head out before them to prep the house and work with their local housekeeper, then unpack them once they arrive, and then return to Miami. During the months they are not in Miami (around 3-4 months), the housekeeper will have time off! They will maybe need the individual to stop by the house periodically, but not often. 

What Works Best for Family: "I want someone who is cheery, who sees the cup “as half full”, no morose or dreary energy allowed! Someone discreet and quiet, as we both work from home. Someone to take charge of the dogs during the days, to be affectionate and playful as well as feeding and yarding them. Occasional walks. Someone who is self starting and has meticulous attention to detail. Someone ALWAYS on time, someone who take personal pride in their work and take initiative. A team player!"

Requested Duration: Many years
