Are you a Kapiti local, available for four hours a week to provide Domestic Housekeeping duties for a family of 6?
Think more Alice from the Brady Bunch than Sadie the Cleaning lady…
My client is looking for the following super star:
Due to our wonderful person resigning to go on an epic life adventure – time frame unknown, we are looking for a housekeeper/cleaner/person who can get to know us and can make our house livable each week. We are a busy family of 6 with dogs, cats, chickens and goldfish so it will be no small task. This is not just a cleaning job, it is about making the family home livable and functional for how we live.
Purpose and scope of role
Weekly 4 hour house clean plus domestic administration duties. Examples provided below are not an exhaustive list and duties will be discussed and agreed in advance. Please note, there is no expectation that all of these listed duties would be done every week - it is whatever is needed and is agreed and that can be completed within the four hours. The list is an example of the kind of work required.
- laundry (washing / hanging / drying / folding / putting away)
- tidying / organising / throwing shit out / putting things away where they belong (including seasonal items back into the loft)
- updating shopping list when things run out (cleaning supplies, loo paper etc. not the food stuff)
- spring cleaning (windows, skirting boards etc.)
Person specification
You will be physically capable of the work required, comfortable working both on your own or with someone home (usually just one adult working from home)
You will be able to effectively clean, organise, arrange etc. the various spaces in the house to suit the needs and functions of our family
You will have good references and experience in a similar role (not necessarily cleaning as you may have transferable skills and experience)
You will be reliable and conscientious, communicating when you are unable to come because you are ill or have upcoming periods of leave of absence.
You will be a non-smoker (this is not negotiable)
Location
Nikau Valley, Paraparaumu.
Remuneration
The rate of pay is $30 per hour. You will be paid as a contractor (not employee) for time worked only and are therefore responsible for your own tax responsibilities, sick days, holidays etc.
Preferred day of service is Wednesday but this is negotiable. Additional duties / hours available and will be discussed and agreed in advance.
Additional notes
If you have a dog(s) that gets on well with others, we welcome you to bring them with you while you work - pending introductions between the animals go well:-)

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
31.5% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
67.6% No, I enjoy it
-
0.9% Other - I'll share below
