About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever wondered what it’s like to walk into a home where every corner is welcoming, every surface sparkles, and everything feels just right? As a Housemaid in our household, you’ll play a key role in creating that feeling — not only keeping things tidy, but helping our home run smoothly day-to-day. If you take pride in an orderly space and like to lend a hand wherever it’s needed, this might be just the opportunity you’ve been looking for.

You’ll find us easygoing, clear with communication, and always ready with a thank you (sometimes even homemade treats). Your efforts here genuinely make a difference, and we never forget it.

- Sweeping, mopping, and dusting — keeping shared spaces and bedrooms fresh and welcoming.
- Washing and ironing clothes, making sure our wardrobe is neat and ready-to-wear.
- Supporting in the kitchen as needed; basic cooking or meal prep if you’re comfortable (totally optional but very appreciated).
- Keeping the home tidy and organized: straightening up common areas, tidying shelves, and maintaining overall cleanliness.
- Helping with any additional household chores we may need — think of yourself as the friendly glue that keeps the home together.
