Candidate Requirements:

  • Previous experience working within a private household is essential
  • A flexible, can-do attitude with a willingness to turn your hand to any task
  • Confident preparing simple, family-style meals
  • Excellent organisational skills with strong attention to detail
  • Calm, proactive, and able to work independently
  • Comfortable in a dynamic household where no two days are the same
