HUM Home•Santa Fe, NM

5d•$30 - $35•Onsite

About The Position

A wonderful family is settling into a new home in Santa Fe and is looking for a capable, grounded household professional to help bring it to life and keep it running beautifully. This is a role for someone who takes real pride in a well-ordered home, who notices what needs doing before being asked, and who wants to become a trusted, lasting part of a family's daily life. The family welcomes two kinds of candidates equally: seasoned private service professionals with experience managing homes and households, or individuals who have masterfully run their own households and raised a family to a high standard. What matters most is a high standard, a steady hand, genuine warmth, and the instinct to take ownership.
