PHS Job 3301
Perfect Household Staff is delighted to present a superb opportunity for an experienced and refined Housekeeper Cook to join a welcoming family of four residing in a prestigious 500 square metre, four‑bedroom apartment in Milan, conveniently located near Isola station. This vibrant and fashionable district is renowned for its contemporary architecture, excellent restaurants, boutique shops, and superb transport links. The family includes two teenage children and values a high standard of service and cooking, flexibility, and a discreet, professional approach. The principals appreciate beautifully prepared Italian meals, and one family member follows a gluten‑free diet, therefore attention to detail and dietary awareness are essential.
Working as a live‑out Housekeeper Cook within this well‑structured household offers the opportunity to be part of a collaborative domestic team, which includes a hands‑on House Manager, a live‑in Housekeeper, a Governess, and a Chauffeur. The role requires maintaining the apartment to an impeccable standard, with particular care for marble and wooden surfaces, as well as managing laundry and ironing to a high finish. The Housekeeper Cook will be responsible for preparing daily meals focused on Italian cuisine, ensuring variety, nutritional balance, and excellent presentation. When the family entertains up to 12 guests, the role will involve planning, cooking, and serving meals to a fine standard. Grocery shopping, kitchen organisation, and occasional school drop‑offs and pick‑ups using the family’s automatic vehicle may also be required. Although the family’s primary language is Italian, good knowledge of English is necessary to communicate confidently with international guests.
Only candidates who have the eligibility to work in the EU will be considered for this role.
