22d • $30 - $40 • Onsite

About The Position

East Wind Nannies is seeking an experienced, reliable, discreet Housekeeper/Cook for a busy Pittsburgh executive. This is a long-term, part-time, live-out position supporting a one-person household with occasional guests. The executive is currently in downtown Pittsburgh and anticipates moving to Squirrel Hill by late October. The start date is ASAP, with flexibility for the right candidate. The schedule is 10–20 hours over 2–4 weekdays, based on the employee’s preference, with 10–20 guaranteed hours per week. The hourly rate is $30–$40, depending on experience.

The role is responsible for keeping the home consistently clean, orderly, well stocked, and cared for, while respecting the executive’s preferences and established systems. Duties include thorough housekeeping, laundry and linens, household organization, replenishing supplies, receiving deliveries, coordinating service professionals, and occasional errands. The Housekeeper/Cook will also plan and prepare approximately five healthy, everyday dinners per week, make grocery lists and/or shop, clean up after cooking, and provide reheating instructions when needed.

If hired before the anticipated move, the employee may take on additional, mutually agreed-upon temporary hours to help organize, sort, pack, label, unpack, and arrange household belongings. Professional movers will handle furniture and heavy lifting. A dog visits occasionally; the employee should be comfortable around the dog and willing to take it for occasional walks. When the executive travels, the employee will continue household upkeep, meal preparation, grocery shopping, laundry, and periodic apartment checks, and promptly report concerns. Guaranteed hours and workload may be reviewed after the first month in the new home to ensure the schedule accommodates the position’s responsibilities.
