We are seeking a reliable, meticulous, and self-directed Live-In Housekeeper to support a kind, private couple living in a peaceful rural setting in Hanover, PA. This is a long-term, stable position offering a high-quality living arrangement in a lovely, private guest house steps away from the main home.

Oriental rugs
Silver and brass (polished 2x/year)

Occasional light organizational tasks or seasonal cleaning
The couple is looking for a thoughtful, discreet individual who takes pride in their work and enjoys working independently. A great match would be:
A self-starter who can take general direction and run with it
Someone who enjoys the quiet pace of rural living
Must be comfortable with dogs - couple has one Jack Russell Terrier
Reliable, organized, and attentive to detail
The home is located in a rural area, so comfort with quiet surroundings is essential.
