Position Overview

A private family in Kensington, MD is seeking a highly experienced, detail-oriented Housekeeper / Family Assistant to take primary responsibility for the ongoing care, organization, and daily maintenance of their home. This role is ideal for someone who has extensive long-term housekeeping and organizational experience, takes genuine pride in creating order, and enjoys maintaining a clean, calm, and well-functioning household.

The family is looking for a professional who works independently, anticipates needs, and naturally keeps a home running smoothly without requiring detailed direction. While the primary focus of this role is housekeeping, organization, and dog care, the candidate must also be comfortable assisting with school pick-up, light after-school supervision, and occasional overnight supervision for the children when needed.

The household includes parents, two older children (almost 12 and 14), and a large dog. A biweekly deep cleaning service is in place; this position is responsible for maintaining the home at a high standard between those cleanings.

  • Organize and maintain closets, drawers, pantries, and common areas
  • Create and sustain simple, effective organizational systems that are easy for the family to maintain long term
  • Proactively identify areas that need improvement and implement organization solutions independently
  • Source organization products and supplies as needed, including trips to retailers such as The Container Store
  • Anticipate household needs and complete tasks without being asked

Kitchen & Meal Support

  • Prepare healthy, simple meals for the family
  • Cook nutritious dinners as part of the evening routine
  • Maintain a clean, organized kitchen at all times

Dog Care

  • Daily care for the family dog, including feeding, refreshing food and water, letting outside, and walking
  • Must be physically capable of confidently handling and walking a 70-pound dog

Childcare Support 

  • School pick-up and transportation to activities as needed
  • Afternoon and evening supervision and support with routines
  • Provide occasional overnight care when parents travel
  • Ability to travel with the family when required

Errands & General Household Support

  • Grocery shopping and household supply management
  • Dry cleaning, shipping, returns, and other routine errands
  • General support to ensure the household operates efficiently

Ideal Candidate

  • Significant long-term experience in private housekeeping and household organization
  • Highly organized, proactive, and self-directed
  • Takes pride in maintaining a clean, structured, and peaceful home environment
  • Comfortable caring for and walking a large dog
  • Confident driver with a clean driving record
  • Trustworthy, discreet, dependable, and professional
  • Flexible and reliable with occasional overnights, travel, and evolving household needs
  • Enjoys creating systems and being a true backbone of the household
