Senior Housekeeper - NYC+Upstate NY
About The Position
Our client is seeking a full-time Senior Housekeeper to oversee two private residences: a 4,000 sq. ft. single-floor apartment in Manhattan and a 6,000 sq. ft. multi-level home in Dutchess County. This is a live-out role requiring regular travel between both locations, with hotel accommodations provided during inclement weather.
