Couples

 


 

 

Couples are commonly defined as; 'Two persons employed in the capacity of a unit working different roles but striving for the same outcome.' Generally, a married couple or persons of long-term partnership who have worked as a couple in the past bearing excellent recommendations are suitable candidates. It is not unusual that candidates may have had experience employed independently and decided to amalgamate their individual expertise and commence working as a couple. Versatility and experience are the key components when seeking a couple position. Most employers seek multi skilled professionals with a combination of roles such as a Butler/Chauffeur/Handyman combined with a Housekeeper/Cook/Nanny. Alternatively, many employers require a House Manager/Estate Manager or Gardener, often a role undertaken by males. A self-contained cottage style of accommodation is regularly offered, with the wage reflecting all components of the employment package. 1st Agency & Marshall Harber insist upon applicants with exceptional references and notable working history.

Housekeepers

 

Traditionally a Housekeeper is a person employed to manage all household affairs in an organised and proficient manner. Many households require this essential domestic assistance and reap substantial benefits by employing a live in or live out full time Housekeeper. An exceptional Housekeeper is expected to be flexible, competent and well experienced in general cleaning duties, and can perform supervisory roles if required. It is often necessary that the Housekeeper prepare daily meals for the household and regularly sustain the daily shopping necessities. The laundering of all clothes and having confidence with washing and pressing all fabrics is a core essential element, as is having a good command of antiquities and the required care and handling involved. A good Housekeeper is primarily responsible for stipulating the over-all organisation and maintenance of an immaculate, dignified household. It is essential that all candidates have excellent working history and it is imperative that letters of reference are provided substantiating their working abilities
