Laundress

DM Estate Staffing • San Francisco, CA

1d • $50 - $65 • Onsite

About The Position

Our returning client, a lovely family in San Francisco, is looking for a highly skilled and detail-oriented Laundress to join their household team. This role is dedicated entirely to the care and preservation of fine textiles—garments, linens, curtains, upholstery, and beyond. The ideal candidate brings a genuine passion for fabric care and takes pride in keeping a home’s textiles in pristine condition. This is not a general housekeeping position. The focus is exclusively on laundering, pressing, steaming, and organizing clothing and household textiles. All laundering is done in-house using eco-friendly, chemical-free, and non-abrasive products. There is a dog and small animals in the home, so a love of animals is a must.

• Skilled in all forms of pressing, including steam ironing and traditional ironing

• Comfortable working in a home with a dog and small animals
• Ability to stand for extended periods throughout the workday
• Comfortable lifting and carrying laundry loads of up to 30 pounds
• Ability to reach overhead, bend, and move throughout the residence as needed
• Manual dexterity for detailed garment care, ironing, and pressing
• Successful completion of a thorough background check
• Verifiable, positive references from previous employers
• Non-smoking and non-vaping household; candidates must be non-smokers and non-vapers
• Discretion and confidentiality regarding all household matters
