Overview A warm and engaging family of four, based in Greenwich, CT, is seeking a child-friendly housekeeper to provide additional support within their home. This position is focused on maintaining the household and will include childcare responsibilities. The family has two young children, ages 4.5 and 1.5 years.

Both parents are very involved in their children's daily lives and routines, and a nanny is also employed. The ideal candidate will be proactive, dependable, and comfortable in a dynamic family environment. While the primary focus will be on housekeeping, there will be times when assistance with the children is needed, either in partnership with the nanny or independently.

This is a live-in (or potentially live-out) position in Greenwich, CT. The accommodation consists of their own bedroom and bathroom, with the bedroom being located on the basement level in the Greenwich household. The house is approximately 9,000 sq. ft. (the family has someone who deep cleans).

The position will guarantee 40 hours a week with the potential to take on additional hours each week by babysitting on nights and weekends, as needed. The exact schedule must be flexible and dynamic.
