Dear Hiring Manager,

I am thrilled to apply for the available House Manager position. With over 15 years of private household management experience, I bring a detail-oriented, creative, and proactive approach to running efficient, luxury homes. Known for my discreet professionalism, strong leadership, and excellent communication skills, I am dedicated to creating an environment that ensures the comfort, organization, and happiness of every household member.

Currently, as a Private House Manager in Marylebone, home of one of the finest art collection in London, I oversee day-to-day operations, coordinate a team of staff, and manage property maintenance to a high standard of cleaners and hospitality. My experience in staff scheduling, inventory management, and budget control has honed my ability to balance priorities seamlessly, meeting each household need with precision. Whether arranging travel, maintaining wardrobe and household inventories, or ensuring smooth communication with Executive and Personal Assistants, I ensure every detail is carefully attended to.

Some of the strengths I bring to the role include:

• Organization and Efficiency: With a proven track record of managing complex schedules and coordinating multiple household roles, I can keep even the busiest home running smoothly.

• Technical Proficiency: My familiarity with Microsoft Office, AV systems, and HVAC troubleshooting allows me to respond quickly to household system needs.

• Team Leadership: From hiring and training staff to managing team workflows, I create an environment of respect, motivation, and excellence.

My background as Head Housekeeper/Cook in a 4-story luxury property in Belgravia, and earlier as House Manager in Knightsbridge and Battersea, involved direct supervision of household standards, management of high-value items, and hands-on cooking and event planning. Each role has enriched my understanding of what it takes to create a luxury lifestyle experience that is welcoming, efficient, and meticulously cared for.
