Job description
A lovely family of 4 based in Mill Hill, NW7 are seeking a permanent, long-term, live-in, patient, flexible, fun and friendly housekeeper 70% / parents help 30% who has a positive attitude to support the family with the two children.

Excellent transport links (Thames link and a short bus ride to the closest underground).
You’ll be happy to manage the families laundry (clothes / ironing / bed linen) and keep the house tidy and clean. On occasion, you will be asked to help with the kids when needed, prepare activities, cook them healthy meals etc.
