Live-in Housekeeper - SHENLEY, Hertfordshire
We are looking for a Live-in Housekeeper for a lovely client of ours. The family live in a large 5-bedroom property in the village of Shenley, Hertfordshire.
The family is composed of Mum, Dad and 3 children aged 14, 12 and 8. They also have 4 small dogs.
The house is a busy home, with lots of people coming and going, including guests etc. but it’s a fun home and environment to be in.

Receive deliveries and deal with contractors
Help when the family is entertaining (prepare things, clear up afterwards etc)
In the summer the family spends a lot of time outside in the garden and at the swimming pool so make sure you change/ wash the swimming pool towels, etc.
