- Running errands and general household organisation
The Ideal Candidate:
- Experienced housekeeper with a background in large, high-end private homes
- Professional, discreet, trustworthy, and highly reliable
- Strong organisational skills with exceptional attention to detail
- Able to follow instructions but also confident working independently and showing initiative
