KC120 - Full-Time Housekeeper - TriBeCa
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Nov 1, 2026. First seen by Alion on Oct 13, 2026.
Overview
A warm, professional family who recently relocated to TriBeCa, New York is seeking a full-time Housekeeper to help maintain their 4,800-square-foot, three-story townhouse. The home features a lower-level pool and a private entrance with a doorman attached to the building. While the home has an elevator, it is reserved for moving large items such as luggage, so the ideal candidate should be comfortable using the stairs throughout the day.
This is a hands-on housekeeping position focused on maintaining the home's cleanliness, organization, and overall day-to-day functionality. The family has three school-aged children and a one-year-old Golden Retriever. They are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys working in an active family environment and is comfortable interacting warmly with the children while maintaining professional boundaries.
The children are fairly independent and attend school during the day. The ideal candidate is proactive, detail-oriented, highly organized, and takes pride in anticipating household needs without requiring constant direction. The family values someone who notices what needs to be done, communicates well, and takes ownership of their responsibilities.
An external team handles periodic deep cleaning, so this role is centered around maintaining the home on a daily basis rather than performing extensive deep-cleaning projects. Deep cleaning of easily accessible areas, such as baseboards, behind furniture, and inside cabinets, will be expected as needed.
