About The Position

Join our team at Cambridge Common House, an elegant 16-room guest house just steps from Harvard Square. As a Housekeeper, you are the heart of our operations, ensuring that our historic 1835 home remains a spotless and soulful retreat for every guest. We are a boutique property that values a positive attitude, attention to detail, and a team-first spirit. If you take pride in your work and want to work in a beautiful, garden-filled setting, we’d love to have you!

• Physical Requirements: Ability to stand, walk, bend, kneel, and/or squat, and move/lift up to 50 lbs; you’ll be moving through our historic three-story home (stairs included!). Must be able to remain in a stationary position or be mobile for extended periods during a shift. Variable environment, exposure to different types of scents/smells, noises, and/or alarms.
• Reliability: You are punctual and dependable, understanding that our small, intimate team relies on everyone to be there.
• Positive Energy: You bring a "can-do" attitude and a sense of pride to everything you clean.

• Clean and style our 16 unique guest rooms to our high "Lark Hospitality" standards, ensuring everything from the linens to the floorboards is immaculate.
• Expertly make beds, fluff pillows, and arrange curated guest amenities to create a picture-perfect welcome.
• Maintain the beauty of our historic interiors, including original woodwork, decorative fireplaces, and modern design accents.
• Deep clean and sanitize bathrooms, ensuring towels are plush and surfaces are gleaming.
• Keep our guest lounge and lush garden patios tidy and inviting for guests to relax in.
• Keep a sharp eye out for lightbulbs that need changing or minor repairs, reporting them quickly to keep the house in top shape.
• Greet our guests with a friendly smile if you see them in the halls—we pride ourselves on being a welcoming, residential-style house.

Benefits

• Easy Access to MBTA Commuter Rail (we are a 5-minute walk from the Harvard Square Red Line station!).
