Where: Central London

Status: Live-out
A lovely HNW couple would like to appoint a reliable and hard-working full-time live-out Housekeeper to assist them with the smooth running of their 5-storey home in Central London. The ideal candidate will be energetic, proactive, and able to manage their time efficiently, manage all housekeeping and laundry requirements at the property, and undertake daily cooking duties.
