£90,000 to work on a private island in the Bahamas? Oh go on, then
After the better part of a year spent cooped up inside, we genuinely just want to get away from it all – and for one lucky couple, that idle dream could soon become a reality.
High end domestic recruiter Polo & Tweed is currently scouting for an “experienced domestic couple” to work for a “high net worth” family on their private island in the Bahamas - and will pay the couple £90,000 for the role. Yep, it’s a dream gig.
The family is based between Naples in Florida and the Bahamas and those interested in applying should have a valid driver's license and the legal right to work in the US.

As well as the £90,000 salary, the couple can expect to have health care and dental benefits, have a car provided for work duties and there is also a re-location option for those looking to move to the area with on-site accommodation provided.
The family of four have two grown children who live at home and own a large country estate in Naples, with three houses and nine bathrooms. The Bahamas estate consists of four houses, each with four bedrooms.
While the family employs ground maintenance staff, gardeners and pool staff, they are looking for a couple to become long-term members of the team and whose duties will include housekeeping, deep cleaning and building upkeep.
