NLN 1028 LIVE IN HOUSEKEEPER
(LIVE OUT MAY BE CONSIDERED FOR A LOCAL APPLICANT ONLY!)
TOTTERIDGE, LONDON N20 8NJ
£500 net per week, live in.
This lovely family, known to my Agency, is looking for a house keeper to look after their beautiful home in Totteridge. The previous housekeeper that I placed here was very happy.
Mum said that although there are 6 bedrooms, many of the rooms are not in use, which reduces your work considerably. The house also has a gym, a games room and a swimming pool.
You would be expected to keep these areas generally clean and mopped as part of your duties, but of course the actual pool maintenance would not be your responsibility.
You need to be organised, work to a high standard, and able to create and schedule your own rota, so previous experience of working as a housekeeper in a large home is needed.
You need to be able to cook at least healthy and simple meals.
There is a pet dog (a small Tibetan Terrier) which Mum would like you to feed and walk occasionally.
There is only 1 child at home, a boy aged 14 yrs, and really, he only needs you in relation some “babysitting”.
Your hours / days would be approx.7.30 am -7.30 pm, (with breaks) Monday to Friday, with only a little “babysitting” needed.
Ideally Mum would like it if you could travel with them to their holiday home in Mallorca, but this may not be a deal breaker.
Your accommodation would be a 1 bedroom flat, with a bathroom, and a kitchen /living room, with your own entrance.
Mum says: …” We are kind, friendly, and calm. The dog is quiet and sweet. We want someone who is confident, friendly and organised, who will feel comfortable with us.”

Full time Experienced Live out Daily Housekeeper for busy professional family, London NW3
£550-£600 net per week.
This family is looking for an experienced full time, daily Housekeeper to look after a 6 bedroom / 3 bathrooms family home, and their family of 4 children. Two of the children are teenagers (16 and 15 years old), so really only need minimal supervision. The other two children are 11 and 9 years old, and need more of your attention, so you need to be friendly and warm natured, and able to build a good relationship with them.
Of course, the busiest times are before school and after school, and you need to be organised in order to run the home, take care of sending off the dry cleaning to the collection / delivery service, compiling lists of household items needed, unpacking food shops, do family washing / ironing and putting clothes away / wardrobe organisation etc.
For the children specifically, you will be responsible for helping with school bags, sports kits, preparing and emptying lunch boxes, etc.
The family need someone who is a good cook, and able to prepare fresh, healthy meals for the family, who can help with breakfasts, and a packed lunch for the younger boy.
Your working hours would ideally be 7.30am-7pm with a break, although the start time could be a little later. During school holidays, the housekeeper can start later and usually finishes earlier as well, and the family often are away in this time.
Holidays should be taken during this time, and not in Term Time.
Mum says…” We are a relaxed, informal but very well-organised family who are fair and loyal to the people we employ. The house is very tidy and clean – it’s the only way I can manage our busy lives! My husband works long hours in the city so not around that much! We have 2 teenage girls who are friendly but like their privacy, and our son is a very kind, shy boy. Our youngest daughter is very bubbly and friendly. All the kids are very polite but like all families with 4 kids, sometimes it can be chaotic in the morning before school. We really want a housekeeper who takes pride in looking after a house, is friendly but also discrete. We see the job as very much one where there is give and take – we would like someone who takes an interest in the family.”
