Private Housekeeper & Household Manager
Discreet, multilingual, meticulously organised. Over 12 years managing private households across three countries — with the calm to anticipate every need before it arises.
Someone who has spent 12 years earning the trust of private families across three countries, through reliability, discretion, and care that does not need to be managed.
For over 12 years, across Latvia, Germany, and Switzerland, I have supported private families as both a hands-on housekeeper and a coordinating family manager. I hold the official Housekeeper qualification from the Bavarian State Ministry (2020), and I work fluently in German, English, and Latvian — adapting to the communication style of each principal I serve.
When my husband and I relocated from Germany to Switzerland in 2021 — organising housing searches, temporary accommodation, permits, cross-border logistics, and even the paperwork for our two cats during COVID restrictions — I managed the entire process from first inquiry to final move-in. What I do under pressure is not a learned skill — it is a habit, and one I have practised quietly for most of my adult life.
I am currently based in Lucerne and available for a part- or full-time position in Lucerne, Zug, or Zürich.
I would welcome the chance to speak about how my experience might be of service to your household. References, certificates, and a longer conversation are available on request.
