A private family is seeking an experienced, reliable live-in Housekeeper to care for their beautifully renovated home on a scenic 100-acre farm. The main home is 4,000 sq ft with two smaller guest houses. This is a long-term position with excellent accommodations and benefits provided.

The Ideal Candidate:
The family is seeking a professional, proactive Housekeeper who can manage the home confidently with minimal supervision. Someone organized, self-motivated, and who enjoys a quiet, rural lifestyle will thrive here. Must be comfortable caring for pets (two indoor cats and a few outdoor cats). They’d love to find someone warm, kind to children, and eager for a stable, long-term position. Private household experience required.

What Works Best for the Family:
They’d love to work with someone reliable, trustworthy, independent, and personable. Since the principal travels often, confidence in managing the home alone is essential. Occasional weekend babysitting (ages 10 & 4) is optional for extra pay. They want someone seeking a long-term role—not just a stepping-stone—who can truly become part of the home.

Responsibilities Include:

• Full housekeeping for 3 homes (4,000 sq ft, 4,000 sq ft & 2,000 sq ft)

• Laundry and dishes; arranging dry cleaning

• Caring for cats, including litter box maintenance

• Household organization and upkeep

• Pet/house sitting when the principal is traveling

• Optional: Weekend babysitting for extra pay (not required)

Additional Info:
The property features a vegetable garden for the housekeeper’s use. The family values honesty, independence, and professionalism. Health insurance is provided, along with generous PTO.
