Full-Time Executive Housekeeper- Glencoe, IL

Professional, experienced Executive Housekeeper needed to join fully staffed residence in Glencoe, IL. Ideal candidate will be a "Martha Stewart" type who pays attention to detail, considers him/herself a career Housekeeper, and a team player who works well with others. 

• A sample day would be as follows: cleaning the kitchen, family room, and mudroom once the children have departed for school. Then, you will check with your colleague to make sure that the master suite has been cleaned before the lady of the house returns midday. At the same time you will be tending to daily deliveries of mail, packages, or dry cleaning. In the afternoon, you will clean the finer areas of the home, organize the master closet, or work on seasonal projects. Sometimes you might be asked to run an errand. It is a big house (15,000 sq. ft) and a big responsibility but you will have the assistance of another housekeeper and the full support of the Estate Manager.
