Thanks to Melissa our bedrooms and study are now looking organised for the first time since we moved in six months ago! Melissa is efficient, makes great recommendations and knows how to make clever use of small spaces, and where before I felt like we didn’t have enough storage, we now have a whole empty cupboard. We will definitely be having her back for “round 2” to work on the rest of the house!

Top Housekeepers related questions

A housekeeper can be responsible for a range of household tasks, from cleaning and organising, to laundry and cooking.
A housekeeper should be competent in completing basic household chores to a high standard. They should have meticulous attention to detail and be able to follow instructions.
Yes. Some household tasks may require trade specialists - this is generally beyond the skills of a housekeeper. Most housekeepers also focus on areas inside the home - not outside/garden maintenance.

Some people have a daily housekeeper, others get help in once a week, once a month, or just on special occasions to help them get caught up.

Housekeeping agencies are popular, but they don’t offer as much flexibility and control. Hiring a housekeeper directly means you can choose your preferred housekeeper, based on ratings, reviews, and skillsets.

The cost of housekeeping depends mainly on how many hours you’d like your housekeeper to work. On Airtasker, people typically spend $60-$150 on housekeeping services.

What does a housekeeping service include?

Housekeeping services can include one-off services or regular domestic tasks (daily, weekly, or fortnightly), from cleaning and cooking to even home maintenance. Your housekeeper will bring along all the products and equipment they need to clean and maintain your home - all you need to do is tell them what you need done. Here’s how they can help:


Cleaning 

The most common housekeeping service involves cleaning. This could include general cleaning, like vacuumingmoppingdusting, and bathroom cleaning. Or it might include detail cleaning tasks like couchcurtainfloorfridge, and rug cleaning. Depending on the number of tasks you’d like your housekeeper to complete, they may clean for just an hour, or up to the entire day. Your housekeeper will discuss a time that’s convenient for you, the tasks you need done, and the timeframe it should take to complete these tasks. If needed, they can bring their own cleaning supplies, like a vacuum cleaner and feather duster. 


Organising and tidying 

Many housekeepers offer professional organising services, where they help organise and tidy all areas of your home. This includes desks, filing cabinets, stationery, linen, wardrobes, toys, kitchen cupboards, garage interiors, and more. They’ll pull out all the items, organise them by category, and help you choose what you should keep, donate, or bin. They’ll also help by recommending suitable storage solutions to help you keep your home tidy for longer.


Cooking 

Some housekeepers are available to help with cooking in your home. They might prepare a few snacks, or help prep several meals ahead of time so you don’t have to worry about cooking. Your housekeeper will present menu and recipe options for you to choose from and use your ingredient and kitchen supplies to cook everything in your kitchen. Once they’re done, they’ll store the freshly cooked food (with heating instructions) and clean up any mess.


Laundry

Washing and ironing starting to pile up? Housekeepers can help by putting on loads of washing, hanging clothes, loading the dryer, folding washing, ironing, and even putting it away. They’ll check the care labels to ensure appropriate washing/drying methods are used before they start the process. With some extra help, you’ll be all caught up on the laundry in no time.


Home maintenance

Many housekeepers are skilled in basic household maintenance tasks. But if they’re unable to do the job themselves, they’ll help organise and oversee skilled contractors who can help do repairs and maintenance in and around your home.

Housekeeping Required in Marrickville

$370

Marrickville NSW, Australia

22nd May 2024

Hello, My name is Martin, and I reside in a narrow terrace house in Marrickville. I am seeking a housekeeper who can come over for a one-time cleaning task this Friday. My house consists of 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a garage, a combined living area, kitchen and home office, and a courtyard. The duties I need assistance with are as follows: 1. Cleaning the entire house: This includes scrubbing the floors, vacuuming all rooms, cleaning windows, and ensuring the cleanliness of the bathrooms, living area, and bedrooms. 2. Courtyard maintenance: I would need the courtyard tidied up, with any dog poos, leaves or debris collected. 3. Washing and organising: please run a load or two of washing and hang to dry. Any clean clothes should be packed away. Additionally, help organising the rooms, packing things away and out of sight would be helpful. I like everything put away somewhere, so help decluttering would be appreciated. I do have some supplies, but my preference is that you have your own equipment and cleaning supplies. If you are available and able to meet these requirements, please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience. I look forward to hearing from you soon. This payment corresponds to 8 hours of work at $40 per hour plus $50 for supplies. This can be extended if need be. A weekly arrangement could also take place if need be. I am looking for a weekly help, so if this initial clean goes well for both parties, a regular booking would be great. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. Kind regards, Martin - Due date: Needs to be done on Tuesday, 19 December 2023

Katya did a great job. Excellent eye for detail and organisation. Highly recommended
