Job description

Educated Households is a higher-tier household staff agency based in London, placing highly educated private staff with VIP and UHNW families in London, the Middle East, and worldwide.

On behalf of our international clients based on the prestigious Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, we are urgently seeking two exceptionally experienced live-in, Tagalog-speaking Housekeepers with experience in childcare, cooking, and laundry.

This is a small, semi-formal household imminently relocating from London to Dubai, with two boys aged 11 and 9 years old, who will start school in Dubai by the end of August 2025.

The boys are adorable, kind, active, and adventurous. The languages spoken at home are English, Russian, and French.

As things stand, the family has a PA and two rotational nannies. The principals are likely to also work with a couple of housekeepers, a chef, a driver, a head of security/driver, and a butler. More staff may join at a later stage. The chef will cater to the family's, guests', and staff's meals in residence.

Responsibilities

The two expertise-driven housekeepers we are seeking for our clients will have shared charge or sole charge of the children. The housekeepers will directly report to the principal(s) and to any representatives handpicked by the principals.

The housekeepers must be able to work both independently and collaboratively, wholeheartedly mucking in when required in the daily running of the household, as well as attending to guests when events are held in residence or off-site, as and when instructed by the family.

General duties will include but are not limited to:

• Helping with the children (there are two nannies on rota in residence).
• Maintaining the interior of the home to a high standard.
• Cleaning.
• Being in charge of the laundry.
• Ironing.

• Experience in spacious semi-formal households.
• Prior housekeeping roles in a luxurious environment.
• Catering to all the principals', family's, children's, and guests' needs.
• Maximizing guest experience.
• Strategic planning.
• Being used to working in fast-paced environments.
• Conducting tasks in the most timely manner.
• Outstanding greeting skills.
• Holding open lines of communication with colleagues and other household staff.
• Running errands.

Skills Required

• A minimum of 3 years of experience in a similar role.
• Coming with a VIP background or a top-notch 5-star hospitality background.
• Child-friendly candidates.
• Culturally aware.
• An eye for detail, being meticulous, and highly organized.
• Excellent communicator.
• Approachable and supportive.
• Not being fazed by last-minute arrangements.
• Acting graciously under pressure.
• Swimmers are desirable but by no means an obligation.
• Languages: Russian and French desirable (not at all essential).

Benefits

• Waterfront lifestyle, as the house is on the beach.
• Newly renovated shared room.
• Versatility in the role.
• Interacting with different stakeholders.
• The work visas, any related visa affairs, and medicals will be taken care of by the family.

The housekeepers will work 6 days per week. A 3-month probation period is expected.

Salaries, on par with experience, and other perks will be discussed in the second round of interviews with the principal(s) or the family's representative.
