Posted on December 22, 2025
The opportunity to join a private family as a Live-out Housekeeper presents an ideal career path for dedicated professionals seeking a rewarding and dynamic role within two beautiful residences located in Greenwich, Connecticut, and the West Village of New York City. This esteemed position operates full-time with a schedule tailored from Saturday through Wednesday, between the hours of 10 am and 6 pm or 11 am and 7 pm, offering flexibility as needed to accommodate varying household requirements. The salary ranges from $45 to $47 per hour, complemented by a competitive benefits package that includes paid vacation, sick time, and an annual bonus. This role is designed for individuals who thrive in maintaining the utmost standards of household cleanliness and organization while providing exceptional service to a busy and discerning family.
The family resides in two prominent locations: a residence in Greenwich, CT, renowned for its serene and upscale neighborhood ambiance, and a chic city home in the West Village, NYC, characterized by its vibrant, sophisticated atmosphere. As a Housekeeper bridging these two locations, the successful candidate must exhibit an exceptional level of reliability, organizational skills, and a proactive mindset to keep both homes in impeccable condition at all times. The role demands a highly detail-oriented approach, as the homes contain valuable antiques, specialty surfaces, and fine fabrics requiring museum-quality cleaning. Expertise in managing delicate items such as crystal, china, silver, brass, stone, and marble is essential. This is a live-out position, thus ideal candidates should be comfortable with commuting between locations and possess excellent time management skills to balance duties across both residences effectively.
Beyond traditional housekeeping responsibilities, the position involves comprehensive management of household systems, including laundry services, wardrobe organization, pantry and storage maintenance, and overseeing professional cleaning of specialty items. Candidates will be expected to manage routine errands such as grocery shopping, dry cleaning, and laundry services, ensuring that the family's needs are consistently met without disruption. Additionally, pet care duties for the family's dog—including feeding, walking, and administering medication—form part of the everyday responsibilities, emphasizing the role's diversity and the trust placed in the Housekeeper. Strong communication skills are vital, as the candidate will interact with the household management team and possibly external vendors, requiring a collaborative and respectful approach to teamwork. Independent work ethic coupled with the ability to coordinate effectively with others ensures seamless household operations. This is a unique and fulfilling opportunity for a professional seeking to leverage their skills in a sophisticated, fast-paced private household environment where their contributions are valued and celebrated.
