Job Description

A welcoming family of four in Armonk, Westchester County, New York, is seeking an experienced, polished and highly dependable Live-Out Housekeeper for a long-term position.

The ideal candidate will have 7+ years of professional housekeeping experience, preferably within luxury private residences, and will take pride in maintaining an exceptionally clean, organised and well-presented home.

This is a hands-on position for someone who works confidently without constant supervision, understands the appropriate care of valuable furnishings and artwork, and brings maturity, discretion and a strong sense of responsibility to their work.

The family has a warm and relaxed household environment but expects consistently high professional standards.

  • Load and unload the dishwasher and wash cookware, pots and pans.
  • Clean and maintain small kitchen appliances appropriately.
  • Dust, tidy and manage general household upkeep.
  • Take out household waste and manage recycling.

Luxury Furnishings & Art Care

  • Handle high-end furniture, bespoke millwork, delicate finishes and valuable decorative pieces with exceptional care.

  • Follow household-specific care instructions to prevent damage to sensitive materials and surfaces.
  • Maintain a consistently polished appearance throughout the residence.

Laundry & Linen Management

  • Manage the complete laundry process, including washing, drying, folding and putting garments away.
  • Follow appropriate care instructions for delicate and high-value clothing.
  • Change and launder bed linens and towels according to the family’s schedule.
  • Make beds and ensure bedrooms are consistently prepared.
  • Monitor household supplies and arrange replenishment when necessary.

Grocery Shopping, Inventory & Errands

  • Prepare weekly grocery lists based on household requirements.
  • Shop for high-quality, seasonal produce, particularly fresh fruits and vegetables.
  • Unpack and organise groceries upon returning home.
  • Maintain an orderly pantry and monitor household inventory.
  • Handle dry-cleaning drop-offs and collections.
  • Receive and organise packages and deliveries.
  • Take family vehicles for routine car washes and scheduled maintenance appointments.
  • Complete other local household errands as required.

Simple Cooking & Meal Preparation

  • Prepare healthy snacks and simple family meals when required.
  • Assist with meal preparation for the children.
  • Maintain an organised kitchen and clean thoroughly after food preparation.

Job Requirements

The successful candidate should demonstrate:

  • 7+ years of professional housekeeping experience, ideally in high-end private homes.
  • Previous experience working around valuable artwork, antiques, designer furnishings and luxury finishes.
  • Exceptional attention to detail and high standards of cleanliness.
  • Strong knowledge of appropriate cleaning methods and products for different materials.
  • A systematic and methodical approach to household management.
  • The ability to independently identify problems, organise priorities and complete tasks efficiently.
  • Excellent organisational and time-management skills.
  • A polished, professional and discreet manner.
  • Respect for the family’s privacy and confidentiality.
  • The ability to follow written and verbal instructions accurately.
  • Strong personal accountability and reliability.
  • A genuine long-term commitment to working within a private family environment.

  • Location: Armonk, NY, Westchester County
  • Start Date: Mid-September
  • Schedule: Monday–Friday, approximately 45 hours per week
  • Accommodation: Live-out

Typically 11:00 AM–8:00 PM or 12:00 PM–9:00 PM, depending on the day’s activities.
