Job Description

A private family residing near Reno, Nevada, is looking to recruit an accomplished Private Housekeeper to maintain their residence to the highest standards of cleanliness, presentation and organisation.

This is a long-term opportunity for a dedicated household professional who understands the expectations of a luxury private residence and takes pride in delivering meticulous, five-star housekeeping.

Working alongside an established household team, including a nanny and Family Assistant, the successful candidate will contribute to the overall smooth running of the residence. Childcare is not part of the position, although comfort working in a home with children is essential.
