• Carrying out occasional household errands, such as trips to the post office or dry cleaners
A full driving licence and your own car would be advantageous, as some driving will be required. Mileage incurred while carrying out duties will be reimbursed.
The family is looking for someone who is proactive, trustworthy, kind, and dependable. Ideally, they would love to find a housekeeper who is naturally warm, enjoys being around children, and will become a positive and supportive presence in their home.
