Stanton House Inn HostStanton House Inn Greenwich, CT $20$22/hr Full-Time Every winter, the inn closes for the holidays. Your team gets three weeks of paid time off. That's where we'll start. This isn't a hotel job. It's closer to being the person who makes the house feel like home welcoming guests like they're staying at a friend's beautiful historic home, making breakfast, baking pastries, keeping things right, and knowing the neighborhood well enough to send people off in the right direction. We rely on good systems and clear processes so the day feels calm, not frantic just solid hosting. If that sounds like work you'd be good at, keep reading. If you're looking for a quiet desk job, this one's probably not it. What You'll DoA typical daytime shift (7:30am3:30pm) moves.
