Domestic Couple for Large, Family Vacation Home - Nantucket, MA

Seeking Mature Live-In Couple for large, family vacation home to be responsible for all housekeeping, laundry, ironing, grocery shopping, weekend cooking & meal service, gardening, lawn maintenance, general home maintenance. Permanent position.

We feel that this position is best suited for a mature couple who is willing to work hard during the season, which includes every weekend, and who may enjoy the extensive down time during the winter months.  The off season is very low key, as the island population dwindles and the seasonal business shut down.  If you are looking for a job that keeps you busy all week, year round, this is probably not a good fit.  We spend, on average, a total of two months per year at the property.  It is not full-time throughout the year and, therefore, ideally suited for a semi-retired couple.  Additionally, the salary is reflective of the scope of work required for this position.

Weekends May-Sept. are very busy! Right candidates will be highly organized, honest, completely trustworthy, have a kind and friendly disposition, able to work independently and well together.  Must be willing to work hard throughout summer season (including all weekends). Meticulous in cleaning, you will be full charge housekeeping, turning over bedrooms (we have 9) for our many houseguests, washing and pressing of family laundry and household linens.  Full meal preparation and service generally once a week. You'll be called on to occasionally walk our 2 small dogs. Additional errands/duties as needed.

Right candidate will come to recognize needs and take initiative to address them without instruction. Salary + furnished 1-bedroom apt, vehicle. Non-smokers only, no children, no pets. Valid driver’s license necessary. Background check will be performed.
