I have served many families as a house manager, housekeeper, elder companion, midwife, hostess/cook and personal tutor for several years. My management, housekeeping, childcare, elder care and hosting experience is extensive and luckily, also my passion. Being highly self-motivated, detail oriented and trustworthy, I hope to establish a trusting long-term relationship with my employers in a house manager, personal assistant, nanny or elder care position.
Always having excelled in anticipating the needs of my clients and employers, I continuously work hard, as well as, efficiently to exceed their expectations.
As a house manager in a large villa with high standards, I managed all of the housekeeping staff and was the primary contact for the guests and property owners. We always maintained the house to the upmost standard and maintained the discretion the property owners desired. The care of the house was extremely specific with every aspect hand-made with the finest materials. This included clothing, furniture, cabinets, linens, etc. I worked with numerous contractors to conduct repairs and regular maintenance on the villa.
As a licensed midwife in a private practice, I provided all patient care from preconception to postpartum. This included being on-call full-time and collaborating with other healthcare specialists. By maintaining strict confidentiality, I developed trusting and long-lasting relationships with my clients. As the business owner, I managed all client charts, marketing, book-keeping, accounts receivable, health department documentation and supply inventory. Continuing education was a large part of maintaining and improving my licenses, certifications and skills.
As a stewardess/cook/nanny/deckhand on a personal yacht for a 3 month trans-Atlantic crossing. . . I maintained the interior and exterior, provisioned, created menus, cooked, homeschooled/nannied, performed deckhand, night watch, and delivery duties. This experience allowed me to enjoy my love of sailing while having a professional relationship with the yacht owners.
I have owned many small businesses where I was the chief manager, bookkeeper and head of advertising.
