Job Description

HOUSEKEEPER / HOUSEHOLD ASSISTANT
Pasadena, CA | Full-Time

A wonderful client is seeking an exceptional, polished and highly experienced Housekeeper / Household Assistant to offer both business and personal support. This is an excellent opportunity for a versatile, hospitality-minded private-service professional who takes genuine pride in maintaining a beautifully presented home while providing gracious, intuitive and discreet support to the Principals.

The ideal candidate will have a true service heart, a positive and professional demeanor, and a minimum of 5 years of experience in fine private residences, luxury estates, yachts or comparable high-end hospitality environments.

This is a hands-on, multifaceted position requiring exceptional housekeeping expertise, strong organizational skills, flexibility and the ability to anticipate household needs. The successful candidate will be equally comfortable performing meticulous housekeeping duties, assisting with household operations, preparing light meals, providing hospitality and guest service, and attending to the day-to-day needs of the Principals.

Responsibilities will include:

• Maintaining the residence to exceptional standards of cleanliness, organization and presentation.

• Detailed housekeeping and expert care of fine furnishings, luxury finishes, artwork, fabrics and upholstery.

• Comprehensive laundry, ironing, steaming, wardrobe and fine-linen care.

• Ensuring bedrooms, bathrooms, living spaces and guest accommodations remain beautifully presented and ready for use.

• Formal and informal table setting, meal service and gracious hospitality.

• Assisting with entertaining, guest preparation and service during family gatherings and events.

• Household organization, inventory management, restocking and maintaining supplies.

• Assisting with vendor access, scheduling, coordination and oversight as directed.

• Running errands, shopping and assisting with miscellaneous household and personal requests.

• Supporting the Principals with day-to-day household needs and anticipating preferences.

• Collaborating seamlessly with other household staff, management and executive or personal assistants.

• Taking initiative to ensure the residence remains meticulously maintained and fully operational whether the Principals are in residence or traveling.

The ideal candidate will possess:

• A minimum of 5 years of experience working in large, high-end private residences or comparable luxury environments.

• Exceptional hands-on housekeeping skills and comprehensive knowledge of proper cleaning methods and care of fine household contents.

• Strong laundry, ironing, steaming and wardrobe-care expertise.

• Excellent hospitality instincts, including table setting, serving and guest care.

• Basic cooking skills and confidence preparing fresh, simple meals.

• Excellent organizational skills, time management and attention to detail.

• A proactive, resourceful and self-motivated approach, with the ability to recognize and address household needs independently.

• A polished, discreet and professional presentation, with a calm, warm and positive disposition.

• A flexible, hardworking and collaborative attitude, with a willingness to assist wherever needed.

• An understanding of professional boundaries, confidentiality and the high standards expected within a sophisticated private household.

• Excellent, verifiable professional references.

The successful candidate will be a dedicated team player rather than a supervisor, someone who genuinely enjoys being hands-on, takes ownership of their responsibilities and approaches every task, large or small, with care and pride.

Above all, we are seeking an individual with an authentic hospitality mindset and service heart who understands that exceptional private service is about much more than maintaining a beautiful residence. It is about anticipating needs, attending to the finer details and creating an effortless, welcoming environment for the Principals, their family and guests.

Schedule: Full-time, approximately 40 hours per week, with flexibility for occasional overtime, evenings and weekends as needed.

Compensation: Excellent compensation, commensurate with experience (DOE), with overtime as applicable.

Please submit your resume in Word format and professional references for immediate and confidential consideration.
