The couple will also share responsibility for the thoughtful care and preservation of antiques, natural-fiber textiles, fine furnishings, and other specialty household items and should be comfortable with the unique maintenance requirements of an older, historically significant property.

Both individuals should be comfortable working independently as well as collaboratively, taking ownership of their respective responsibilities while remaining flexible and willing to assist one another as household needs arise. Experience or professional training within a European-style household or formal service environment is strongly preferred. Candidates must be physically comfortable working throughout a large property, including bending, lifting, and safely using a ladder as needed.

The schedule is Monday through Friday, approximately 8am to 4:30pm with flexibility for occasional evenings, weekends, and holidays as household needs arise.

Salary range: $160-200K with a possible health insurance contribution. Immediate start.
