We are looking for an experienced cook/housekeeper for a busy family with two school-aged children (6 and 8). They are looking for a warm, organised and proactive person who can help keep their home running smoothly. Whilst daily meal preparation is an important part of the role, the position is much broader and centres on supporting the family's day-to-day life - from organising schedules and travel, to managing appointments, helping with the children, and caring for their two dogs.
They are looking for someone who is naturally organised, willing to learn, and happy to get involved in a wide variety of tasks. Previous admin experience isn't necessary. The most important part of the role is becoming a trusted, positive presence in their home and someone the children genuinely enjoy having around.
