Your duties will be all housekeeping duties including cleaning of the large house, changing bedding, laundry and ironing, managing the children’s wardrobes and running any errands required. If someone enjoys cooking there could be some occasional cooking required and to help prepare vegetables etc for family meals. The family have 3 children aged 9-6 years, there may be the odd occasion that you are asked to supervise the children so child friendly is a must and being used to a busy household is essential.
