A wealthy family a lucky couple a potential dream job – up to $120,000-a-year to help run their properties on a private Bahamian island and in Naples, Florida.
The successful applicants will only have to work 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday, and will have private accommodation provided at both properties.
High end domestic recruiter Polo & Tweed posted the ‘once in a lifetime’ job opportunity last week searching for a pair of housekeepers to manage two households in Naples, Florida and on a private island in the Bahamas.
The unidentified family in question is a ‘high net worth’ family of four, with two grown children who still live at home and who split their time between the ‘Sunshine State’ and the private Caribbean island.
Successful applicants will be tasked with caring for a large country estate in Florida that consists of three houses, with nine bathrooms and a Bahamas estate that consists of four houses with four bedrooms in each home, the listing said.
The family, who already employ grounds maintenance, gardeners and pool staff, is looking for an ‘experienced domestic couple to become long-term team members to help manage and care for their homes.’

The family is searching for a ‘discreet and well mannered’ couple who are also ‘warm, lovely and discreet with a calm personality and energy,’ to match the self-described ‘easy-going and relaxed’ family they will work for.
Lucy Challenger, founder of domestic recruiter Polo & Tweed, told the Daily Star that the job is ‘really is a once-in-a-lifetime position.’
The listing has already garnered considerable of attention since it was posted days ago, with the family likely to hire a couple with considerable experience in high-end housekeeping.
‘Needless to say, we have been inundated with replies since the job went live on our website over the weekend. But we’ve yet to compile a short list so we would urge interested couples to send through their CVs without delay,’ Challenger told the Daily Star.
Whoever is hired will enjoy the perks of full employment, including health care and dental benefits, and a car provided for work duties.
For those looking to move into the area, accommodations will be provided at both properties within the family estates, the job listing says.
The couple is expected to split their duties which include the daily, deep cleaning of the household, making beds, cleaning bathrooms and all areas of the house.
The housekeepers will also be in charge laundry, ironing, and making sure the properties are presentable and cared for.

The hired pair may be asked to run errands like picking up guests from the airport and occasionally be split up to work on separate properties but typically the job requires the couple to stick together, the listing says.
The job is offering a $100,000 – $120,000 yearly salary for the couple and depending on experience there is wiggle room for more.
The schedule is Monday-Friday, from 8am-5pm with occasional weekends that are considered overtime.
Anyone applying should have a valid driver’s license and the legal right to work in the U.S.
