Overview

A busy private household in Surrey is seeking a proactive, flexible and hands‑on Live‑in Housekeeper / Nanny to support the smooth running of the home.

This is a varied, all‑rounder role suited to a candidate who takes pride in maintaining high standards and is confident managing a combination of housekeeping and light childcare responsibilities.

Responsibilities

Housekeeping duties will include daily cleaning, ensuring the home is maintained to an excellent standard, alongside laundry and ironing, including the care of delicate fabrics and high‑quality clothing. Wardrobe management, packing for travel and general household organisation will also form an important part of the role.
