Live out Housekeeper/Cook job in Notting Hill, West London
A lovely and down-to-earth family is looking for an experienced and hard-working Housekeeper/Cook to help in their home. The family is Mum, Dad, and their three children ages 8, 7 and 4 years old. The children are all full-time schooled and the parents are very hands-on, so you will not have regular childcare-related responsibilities, but the client would like to find someone who is happy to be around children and willing to help with the occasional babysitting or school runs. The family used to live in South America and they desire preferably a competent Spanish speaker to help with the upkeep of the children's Spanish knowledge. This is an informally run household, the family is relaxed and does not require a uniform to be worn. The ideal candidate will be discreet, honest, child-friendly, a confident cook and flexible.
Duties to include:
- Cleaning, laundry and ironing
- Making beds and changing bed linen
- Preparing daily dinner for the family - simple, healthy and tasty dishes
- Wardrobe management
- Running errands
- Purchasing groceries on Ocado
- Periodic deep cleaning
- Travelling with the family 1-2 times a year for up to 3 weeks at a time (to the countryside and Europe)
- Ad hoc: providing childcare support when needed - babysitting and school runs (local schools)
