Housekeeper, Child Care​/Nanny

Overview

Perfect Household Staff is pleased to present a lovely opportunity for a professional and reliable part-time Housekeeper to join a friendly private household in Tonbridge, Kent. The family consists of two adults and lives in a spacious three-floor, five-bedroom property. The household is busy and family-oriented, with children regularly present during the week and at weekends, therefore the family are looking for a discreet, physically fit, and child-friendly housekeeper who is comfortable working in an active home environment.

This role would suit someone practical, hands-on, and efficient, who enjoys keeping a home clean, tidy, and running smoothly without the pressure of exceptionally high or specialist cleaning standards.

Tonbridge is a charming and well-connected Kent town with excellent local amenities. This is a live-out position and is easily accessible by public transport, making it convenient for candidates commuting from surrounding areas. However, as the role includes occasional local shopping trips to a nearby supermarket located a short drive away, a candidate with their own car is desirable.

Working as a Housekeeper in this role offers a straightforward and well-balanced position, with approximately 50% of time dedicated to laundry and ironing and 50% to general cleaning duties. The family are seeking a housekeeper who is organized, discreet, and physically capable of managing a large property efficiently within limited working hours. Duties will focus on maintaining cleanliness and order throughout the home rather than specialist or high-detail work.

No childcare responsibilities are expected.

This is a self-employed position, offering flexibility alongside a standard holiday entitlement of four weeks per year.

• General cleaning of the three-floor, five-bedroom property
• Hoovering, dusting, and maintaining tidy living areas
• Cleaning bathrooms and kitchen to a good everyday standard
• Laundry and ironing (no designer or specialist garments)
• Changing bed linen
• Keeping the home organised and presentable
• Occasional local shopping for the family (short driving distance)
• Working efficiently and independently within limited hours
• Remaining discreet and professional in a busy family household

• Minimum of 3 years of relevant private housekeeping experience
• Two excellent checkable references
• Legal right to work in the UK
• Conversational level of English
• A valid driving license and access to a vehicle
