The Household

A warm, relaxed family home in London. The household includes two adults, a teenager, and three much-loved rescue cats. The family travels frequently, so flexibility and the ability to run the home independently are important. They previously had a housekeeper of 25 years who was part of the family - they're looking for someone who can build the same kind of long-term, trusted relationship.

This is a sole-charge housekeeping position for someone meticulous, calm, and happy working independently across a large home.

  • Thorough deep-cleaning including under the oven and inside cupboards
  • Keeping the home consistently clean, ordered, and well-presented
Laundry
  • All household laundry
Cats
  • Genuine love of cats essential - three rescue cats live in the home
  • Feeding, affection, and general care
  • Cat-sitting when the family is away (daytime visits only, not overnight)
Other
  • Occasional grocery shopping
  • General household management and flexibility as needs arise

Not required: Cooking

The Ideal Candidate
  • Genuinely loves animals, especially cats
  • Impeccably clean and highly detail-oriented
  • Reliable, flexible, and comfortable working sole charge
  • Warm, pleasant personality - this is a relaxed, friendly household
