Governess-Governor
EXECUTIVE HOUSEKEEPER | Paris 16th | Live-In or Live-Out
Permanent Position | September 2026
ABOUT THE FAMILY
Magic NANNIES is delighted to recruit on behalf of an exceptionally warm and respectful UHNW private household based in Paris 16th.
The family is seeking an experienced Executive Housekeeper who will become a trusted and valued presence within their home, ensuring the household runs seamlessly to the highest standards. With three young children (aged 4, 7, and a baby due shortly), the family already benefits from dedicated childcare support. This role is therefore focused on the impeccable organisation, presentation and day-to-day management of the home while working in close collaboration with the family's nanny.
The parents have demanding professional lives and are looking for a discreet, proactive and intuitive professional who naturally anticipates needs, exercises sound judgement and provides genuine peace of mind through exceptional organisation and a refined sense of service. This is a long-term opportunity, and the family is committed to finding the right person rather than recruiting quickly.
WORKING SCHEDULE
Monday to Friday, 9:00 am–1:00 pm and 4:00 pm–8:30 pm.
The position can be offered on either a Live-In or Live-Out basis. A private studio is available during the afternoon break for Live-Out candidates. The successful candidate should also be happy to travel with the family during school holidays, with trips generally ranging from one week to one month.
THE ROLE
The successful candidate will take full ownership of the household's daily organisation, maintaining exceptional housekeeping standards, managing laundry, ironing, wardrobes and household supplies, ensuring every area of the home remains beautifully organised, and setting and clearing the table to a high standard. Light meal preparation would be appreciated but is not essential.
The ideal candidate will have previous experience within a high-end private household, demonstrate impeccable discretion, outstanding organisational skills and a genuine sense of service. They will be calm, flexible, highly organised and capable of working independently while collaborating harmoniously with the family's nanny. Above all, they will enjoy working behind the scenes, anticipating every detail before it is requested and significantly reducing the employers' mental load.
LANGUAGES
Native or fluent French or English.
