Our clients are in the Naples area of Long Beach — near Belmont. They are looking for a Housekeeper who can come twice a week — ideally every Tuesday and Friday from around 8:00am to 4:00pm. Fridays are a must and Tuesdays are preferred, but Monday is also an option for candidates who aren’t available on Tuesday. There’s one small doggie and a very clean neat couple in the home. Duties are housekeeping, home organization, laundry, errands and ironing. They would LOVE to find a candidate who is willing to help with some food prep too. You don’t need to be a great chef to be successful in this role — they eat simple healthy food. They are detail-oriented and hope you are too. They’ve been using a cleaning crew every week and the crew doesn’t put love and care into their home and that’s what’s missing. They are hoping to find a detail-oriented Housekeeper with a big heart who will enjoy making their home sparkle. Pay is $35 hour net. Please reach out if you are interested. Thank you!
