Livermore Ranch
We have a small private family ranch that is in need of a capable, hard-working, hospitable and extremely trustworthy caretaker couple who are able to help take care of many aspects of life here in the mountains with little supervision. This a part-time residence for the owners, so you will be at the property alone many times.
The position (split between the husband and wife) includes:
Large and small animal care and attention to detail on their health and wellness.
- Grounds-keeping and general care-taking
- Repairs of equipment as needed.
- General handyman work as things need repaired.
- Some local snow plowing in the winter.
- Overseeing the house and property when the owners are away.
Your priority will be the property, the house and the family.
Housekeeping (large living space, but not a lot of traffic).
Cooking (including meal plan; preparation, serving, clean-up) for the owners, if requested, when they are at the house and for the occasional guest visits (personal and business guests).
Shopping/errands in town (keep house stocked with appropriate food/supplies as needed).
Qualified applicants will have experience with animals (livestock and pets), grounds-keeping, care-taking, snowy winters, and familiar with mechanical issues. Additionally, we are looking for people who are polite, clean-cut, do not get drunk, smoke or do drugs of any sort. There is a great opportunity for a long term position if you thrive in this environment.
We would like three professional references (if available) during the interview process. The position includes a private bedroom/bathroom with internet. You are welcome to eat with the family when they are there, but otherwise you will provide your own groceries. Requires valid drivers licenses. Background check and drug testing possible. You will need a reliable 4WD/AWD vehicle. Serious inquiries only.
Successful applicants will have a good stable relationship, motivation, maturity, experience, flexibility, trustworthiness, above average work ethic, no-drama. They will be self-starters, teachable, friendly, outgoing, accountable.
The property is an hour north from Fort Collins and an hour south of Laramie.
Other responsibility items:
- Gardening (small garden) in the Spring/Summer
- Preparing all meals for guests (when we have them). When there are guests, and you interface with them, you represent the family in your actions and you are asked to be mindful of that.
Your weekend schedule is determined by the family schedule/responsibilities. You typically have off Saturdays and Sundays, once the animals are cared for each morning. Every month, you earn one day of paid vacation that can be used or saved. Days off must be approved and are dictated by the owners being able to cover for your absence.
Salary: $36,000 annually (Split between each person of the couple).
Benefits: room and board including all utilities
