Compensation: $30+/hour, paid weekly on payroll – Paid holidays include New Years Day, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas. Sick days/personal days to be agreed upon before hire. A wonderful male couple with a high end home in Beverly Hills (Trousdale Estates) is seeking an extremely detailed housekeeper to care for their home. Their long time housekeeper is retiring soon and they will need someone to come in and pick up where she leaves off. The home is 5,000 sf, but as it is just the two of them, there is plenty of time to clean and deep clean the home, complete laundry, and clean the outdoor areas (patio furniture, etc). The couple travels on occasion and would appreciate it if you could tend to the home, keep an eye on things, and be present for vendors, etc. MUST have a strong eye for detail, be an exceptional cleaner, have a pleasant, peaceful demeanor, and truly enjoy taking great care of a lovely home. The home has custom furnishings, ranging from fabrics to rugs to plumbing fixtures and artwork. Each item/category needs a different care protocol including which cleaning products to use in each situation. Due to the delicate nature of some things, the couple prefers to take care of some of the cleaning (some polishing, cleaning of artwork, etc.) They are in need of someone who will keep track of what to do, as well as what not to do, which product to use, what kind of cloth, etc. It can get really specific, so we require a person who will pay attention and also ask questions, especially in the beginning until it becomes routine. You must have a valid drivers license and have your own car. You will be training for one week with the outgoing housekeeper. Great opportunity for a long term position! Specific Detailed Duties/Responsibilities: Indoor cleaning and Deep Cleaning: The home has a lot of glass (windows and floor to ceiling glass across the back of the house). Physical ability and willingness to clean the glass (on a bi-weekly basis) is required. Laundry: Must be an excellent ironer and know how to sort, wash, remove stains, and fold properly. Will need experience using (or ability to learn) how to use a Miele rotary iron for the bed linens on a twice-weekly basis. Outdoor Cleaning: The outdoor space of the home is extremely important and needs equal attention— wiping down frames of chairs and lounge chairs, outdoor tables (especially during summer/fall season), washing off bird poo from the furniture covers, removing covers and storing them when needed, washing down the trash cans, cleaning the closet doors and driveway lights, cleaning stains from the concrete paving and driveway. BONUS if you are comfortable going on the roof to clean the skylights and pickup the pine needles (not expected but would be appreciated if you are up for the challenge). Coordinating with outside vendors: You will need to record the hours of anyone working at the home (with the exception of regular maintenance of gardener and pool maintenance) and keep track of work done by contractors when they are not home, and be able to report back on work completed/ issues, etc.
