Perfect Household Staff is proud to present a rare and rewarding opportunity for a professional Head Housekeeper to join a literary retreat that was established to offer a tranquil environment where creative people can focus on their work without disruptions.

This is a permanent, full-time, live-out position. It is important to note that the workload is limited and predictable, with intense operational focus only during the sessions.
