Live-In Temporary Housekeeper - Zurich

We are working with a UHNW family to assist in sourcing temporary housekeeping services for their summer residence in Zurich. The family, comprising two adults, a one-year-old daughter, and two cats, will be in residence from 1st July to 16th August and are seeking reliable, experienced housekeeping support throughout their stay.

The family's two regular housekeepers are unable to travel this summer, and as such, they are open to two arrangements: either two housekeeping professionals sharing the week - one working Monday to Friday and a second covering Saturday and Sunday - or a single housekeeper who is happy to commit to a seven-day week for the full six-week duration. In either case, the family are keen to have the same individual or individuals throughout the booking to ensure consistency and familiarity.

The property is a five-bedroom villa spread across four floors. The family are health-conscious and have specific dietary requirements, including no alcohol, no pork, and no salt or sugar in their baby's food.

Please note: Candidates must hold an EU passport or the right to work in Switzerland prior to applying as, unfortunately, visa sponsorship is not available. If you do not hold an EU passport or the right to work in Switzerland upon applying, your application will not be considered.

• Maintain the cleanliness and presentation of a five-bedroom, four-floor villa to an impeccable standard.
• Carry out all day-to-day housekeeping duties including cleaning, tidying, and organisation throughout the property.
