Live out Child friendly Housekeeper/Cook, Maida Vale / Warwick Avenue, West London
A lovely and relaxed family is looking for an experienced Housekeeper/Cook to help in their home. The family is Mum, Dad, and their two teenage twin children. Two friendly miniature Dachshunds and a pet cat complete the family. This is a down-to-earth, easy-going and fun-loving family who is looking to find someone who is happy to become part of their family.
They need you to either take your holidays when the family is away or housesit in the family’s absence. Mum works from home 3 times a week, so it is important that you are discreet. The family is seeking a child-friendly person who enjoys cooking, is switched-on, well-organised, a self-starter, communicates clearly and uses their initiative well. You must have prior dog walking experience either from your private or work life.
