Job Description

A high-net-worth family is seeking an experienced, proactive and highly adaptable Executive Housekeeper / Family Assistant for their 6,300 sq. ft. primary residence in Highland Beach, Florida.

This is a newly created position and will be the family’s first dedicated household hire. The successful candidate will therefore have the opportunity to establish efficient household systems and take genuine ownership of the home’s day-to-day organisation and presentation.

The role combines meticulous housekeeping and wardrobe care with family logistics, driving, errands and light meal preparation. The family has two active boys, aged 11 and 12, who participate in travel baseball, soccer and other extracurricular activities.

This position would suit an experienced household professional who is already confident managing a high-standard residence, as well as an ambitious candidate looking to develop toward broader estate management and family administration responsibilities.

Housekeeping & Home Care

  • Take full responsibility for maintaining the residence to an exceptional standard.
  • Carry out daily housekeeping, detailed cleaning, tidying and organisation throughout the 6,300 sq. ft. home.
  • Care for fine finishes, delicate surfaces, furnishings and other high-value household items using appropriate products and techniques.
  • Establish practical systems to keep the home consistently organised and presentation-ready.
  • Identify household requirements proactively and address routine matters without constant supervision.

Laundry & Wardrobe Management

  • Manage the family’s complete laundry operation.
  • Handle delicate garments, specialty fabrics and wardrobe items with appropriate care.
  • Iron, steam and professionally finish clothing as required.
  • Coordinate dry cleaning and ensure garments are collected, returned and properly organised.
  • Maintain an efficient system for household linens and clothing.

Vendors & Property Support

  • Coordinate and oversee external service providers working at the residence.
  • Liaise with landscaping, pool, window-cleaning and specialist maintenance teams.
  • Ensure scheduled services are completed properly and to the family’s standards.
  • Communicate any property or maintenance concerns to the appropriate person.
  • Help ensure the residence operates smoothly on a daily basis.

Family Assistance & Transportation

  • Provide reliable transportation for the family’s two boys, aged 11 and 12.
  • Drive the children to sports practices, games, travel baseball, soccer and other activities.
  • Manage afternoon transportation when multiple activities or schedules overlap.
  • Coordinate drop-offs and pick-ups around the family’s wider schedule.
  • Provide occasional weekend transportation support when required.
  • Handle household and family-related errands as necessary.

Meal Preparation & Hospitality

  • Prepare simple, fresh meals and snacks when required.
  • Support the family’s daily routine with practical meal preparation rather than full-time cooking.
  • The Principal generally manages breakfast and lunch, while the family typically eats out on Thursdays.
  • Help prepare the home for casual family gatherings and welcome guests in a warm and discreet manner.
  • Assist with light setup and organisation before or during informal entertaining.

Puerto Rico Residence

  • Periodically assist with preparing the family’s secondary residence in Puerto Rico.
  • This may include approximately one visit per month to prepare, stock and organise the property ahead of the family’s arrival.
  • Travel to Puerto Rico is entirely optional and is not a requirement for the position.
  • Candidates who prefer to remain based locally in Florida are welcome to apply.

Job Requirements

The ideal candidate will have proven experience working in a high-end private household and understand the standards, discretion and initiative expected when supporting an HNW family.

Requirements:

  • Previous experience in executive housekeeping, private household management, laundress work or a similar high-end domestic role.
  • Strong knowledge of premium household cleaning, fine surface care, laundry and wardrobe management.
  • Highly organised, detail-oriented and naturally proactive.
  • Comfortable working independently and taking ownership of the home.
  • Confident coordinating household vendors and external service providers.
  • Comfortable driving children and managing busy family schedules.
  • Valid driver’s licence with a flawless driving record.
  • Clean background check.
  • Excellent professional references.
  • Strictly non-smoking.
  • Exceptional judgment and a strong understanding of professional boundaries.
  • Highly discreet and respectful of the family’s privacy.

The Ideal Candidate

The family is looking for someone who does not simply wait for instructions but naturally identifies what needs to be done and takes care of it.

The successful candidate will be polished, dependable and hands-on, with the organisational ability to maintain a large private residence while also providing practical support to an active family.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Executive Housekeeper or Family Assistant who wants to establish themselves as an integral part of a private household and potentially develop into a broader estate and family administration role over time.
