We are representing a family in seeking an experienced, proactive, and highly versatile House Manager / Housekeeper to oversee the day-to-day operations and maintenance of a 6-bed, 7-bath single-story estate in Palo Alto.

• Act as a courteous point of contact for neighbors and local municipal services when needed.

2. Housekeeping & Estate Care

• Maintain full charge housekeeping throughout the 6-bedroom, 7-bathroom single-story home.

• Care for delicate materials, including marble, fine hardwoods, and specialty finishes, using appropriate non-toxic cleaning techniques.

• Handle routine personal laundry and low ironing with care.

3. Sourcing, Meal Prep & Household Logistics

• Research and establish relationships with local farms and high-quality suppliers to source fresh produce and top-tier ingredients.

• Prepare wholesome, basic daily meals

• Ensure all household cleaning products, home supplies, and personal care items used across the estate strictly adhere to non-toxic, all-organic standards.
