Job description

A warm and professional family of four based in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, is seeking an experienced and dependable housekeeper to support the smooth running of their home. They have two children: a little girl aged six and her brother who is aged two.

Additional paid hours for overtime or evening babysitting may be available by mutual agreement. The children's Grandmother works alongside the family for school runs and childcare, so a team player is essential.

The hours of the role are Monday‑Thursday, 15.00‑19.00 (16 hours/week).

Responsibilities

• Cleaning all rooms to a high standard
• General tidying and organising throughout the home, with a daily reset of the kitchen, playroom, etc
• Family laundry (clothes and bedding) and ironing
• Changing beds regularly
• Putting away household shopping
• Preparing and cooking healthy and nutritious family meals, following an agreed menu plan and observing any dietary requirements
• Preparing packed lunches if required

A duty car is available for school runs and errands when required.
