Live In Housekeeper / Mothers Help - Bermuda

Are you looking for a role in a tax free sunny climate - then this job might be for you!

We are recruiting a Live In Housekeeper / Mothers Help for a young British family with 3 children, aged 5, 3 and a newborn. They are a warm and active family seeking a capable and flexible individual to join their household - someone who is an extension of the mother — stepping in wherever needed, whenever needed.

The primary focus is running a smooth and well-organised home: cooking, cleaning, and keeping daily life on track. Childcare is important but secondary, provided on an ad hoc basis to support the mother as and when an extra pair of hands is needed.

This is a live-in role requiring reliability, initiative, and a warm, adaptable nature. The family will sponsor the right person with a work permit. Must drive and be happy to sit a test in Bermuda to obtain a local licence (government requirement), undertake a medical and initiate paperwork with your local embassy (so a little leg work necessary but all requirements will be provided). At their end, there is a lawyer in place for the bigger picture stuff, and can help with opening bank account, etc.
