A private family home in Chelsea, London, is seeking an experienced and detail-oriented housekeeper. The property spans just over 3,000 square feet across four floors and is home to a 20-month-old daughter and a small dog. A nanny is also employed within the household. The family are well-organised and have high standards; they will personally oversee the handover and training process to ensure their systems and preferences are communicated clearly from the outset. The right candidate will take genuine pride in their work, manage the home with quiet efficiency, and integrate seamlessly into the existing household team. The family are travelling over the summer, making a September start the most practical point of transition, though they are open to an earlier start should the right candidate be available.
