House/property manager
Stuart,FL
Summary
I was hired as a nanny/housekeeper and worked for five years before the family moved. Began work as a housekeeper that lasted for seven years. While there received the call to interview for the president and ceo of NBC as his Head housekeeper and property manager. I worked for almost 13 years, managing, facilitating, cooking, organizing, decorating and handling vendors and all personal needs of the family and house/property.
Retired after the death of his wife, even though he offered more. Left on great terms and stay close to this day.
Was asked to help in the caregiving of my late boss's best friend's mother and have cared for other patients along the way.
I also cater cocktail parties on Jupiter Island.
Trained, , organized the house of the owner of the Boston Celtics/Glen Hutchins. Made the decision to move on because was offered a more long term position because he bought a house in Miami.
There is no job I won't tackle and give it my best. I'm from the old school and pride myself in doing a job I can sign my name to. I have excellent references and will be happy to submit upon meeting.
Thank you so much for your time! I hope to hear from you soon.

I love to read, cook, clean, photography, piano playing, decorating and am a strong nurturer.
Anything that engages me in a creative role I gravitate to. It is fulfilling to me to stand back and look at a job well done when I know those I'm taking care of are happy.
