Summary
We are working with a UHNW Mexican family to hire an experienced, Spanish-speaking travelling housekeeper for a full-time, long-term position. The family is based primarily in San Diego, with extended periods spent travelling between Europe (including Belgium) and the USA. The household consists of two Principals and two children, within a well-educated, respectful family environment.
This is a highly mobile role suited to a professional housekeeper who is comfortable travelling independently with the family for extended stays of approximately three to four months at a time in each location. While San Diego is the main base, the family owns multiple residences internationally and values consistency, discretion, and high household standards at all times.
The role offers a generous working pattern with two full months off during November and December each year. In San Diego, the household is supported by additional staff; however, when travelling, the housekeeper will typically work independently.
This is a live-in position; however, a live-out option is available to those candidates based locally in San Diego. The successful candidate will be fluent in English and Spanish.
