      Overview

      A busy family is looking for a long-term, full-time, live-out, seasoned houseman/butler in Los Angeles, California (close to UCLA). They are not offering relocation; only local candidates will be considered. The role starts as soon as possible. The family includes the mother, father, 8-year-old girl, 7-year-old girl, and 5-year-old girl. They have one dog. They have a fully staffed house, including housekeepers, nannies, a chef, and property/pool maintenance.

      This person must have several years experience in a HNW private residence. Although they have a formal-looking household, as the client refers to it as living in a "Faberge egg", they are not so formal, in that they do not need to be served their meals. They may ask for drinks and such at times, but they do not require dinner service. When they have dinner parties, this role may be expected to help with serving. Bonus if you are familiar with wines, as they do have a wine cellar, but this is not a deal breaker. They do have guests often and the houseman/butler will be expected to greet them, guide them to where they should go in the home, and offer to get them drinks.

      Other duties will include, but are not limited to, cleaning the cars, ensuring all cars have full tanks of gas (this includes a Tesla that requires charging), helping the lady of the house with packages and organizing, packing and unpacking the car for outings, ensuring the pool is heated with sufficient time before use, cleaning the outdoor furniture, helping to organize other areas on the property - such as their storage and garage, taking care of minor house issues/simple fixes, running errands as needed, and securing the house. Occasionally this role will include driving the children - their nannies will be present as well.

      To be successful in this role you should be proactive and take initiative- you must be a self-starter, as they do not want to have to constantly supervise this role. The houseman/butler must also be able to occasionally go to their house in Malibu.

      Hours will ideally be Monday through Friday, 10/11am-6/7pm. Must have flexibility to work occasional weekends. The family is offering medical. They cover 100% for the employee, and 50% for their family. Other benefits include PTO, and main federal holidays paid.

      They summer in Canada for 6 weeks. This houseman/butler role would spend minimal, if any, time there with them in Canada. This person would still work, although may not be needed as much, but would still get paid full-time.

      The houseman/butler must have their valid U.S. Passport, or valid Permanent Resident Card (Green Card). This person must have their valid drivers' license, must have their own car, and must have a clean driving record. COVID vaccine is not required. The salary range is $130k-$150k/year, contingent on experience. If interested, apply to VV323.
