AC220 - Part-Time Housekeeper - Austin, TX

A warm, busy, and highly respectful family in the Barton Creek area of TX is seeking an experienced, proactive, and detail-oriented part-time live-out housekeeper to support the smooth day-to-day operations of their home. This is a long-term opportunity for a polished professional who takes pride in maintaining an organized, well-run household and who naturally integrates into family life with warmth, discretion, and initiative.

The family had a beloved, longtime housekeeper of nine years who is stepping away toward retirement. They are hoping to find someone equally dependable, hardworking, and caring — someone with excellent integrity who is willing to jump in wherever needed and become a trusted extension of the household.

The ideal candidate has a strong eye for detail, works independently, anticipates household needs, and enjoys being visible, engaged, and interactive rather than remaining behind the scenes. The family values someone personable, flexible, and genuinely invested in maintaining a welcoming and organized home environment.

The general schedule will be Monday through Friday from 9am to 2pm. The family is open to fewer, longer days and will consider alternative schedule suggestions.  Local candidates are preferred.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a career housekeeper seeking a stable, respectful, and long-term position with a wonderful family in a beautiful Barton Creek home.
