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 vacuuming, mopping, dusting, and bathroom cleaning. Or it might include detail cleaning tasks like couch, curtain, floor, fridge, 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.

Home tidying help

$300

Chippendale NSW, Australia

2nd Jan 2026

Hello! I've had some unplanned surgery and haven't been able to tidy the home and get things organised at home. I have a cleaner but need some help doing a tidy and a few things put away and organised and some help with lifting light things because I can't lift anything at the moment. I am a cheery and good communicator. Would really be thankful for the help. Tasks include: - packing some cleaning supplies into cupboards I've had delivered. - putting clothes I've had washed at the laundry away. - helping me tidy up some bits and pieces like books and putting them into cuoboards to help me move more easily about the house. - wipe down a few hard to reach surfaces (I have a cleaner every week for cleaning so it's not a cleaning role) I imagine it will take about three hours. I'll work with you as best I can. Parking is paid Street parking happy to cover that. I'm near Central station and buses too. Looking for a 'can do' proactive type of person. I'm usually that person myself, but can't lift or do much after the surgery sadly. My apartment is very clean and tidy . No cleaning required

Maggie is a fantastic and thoughtful helper. Incredible and bright and sunny.

Kitchen items still to unpack/put away after move house. 3 bigger cartons with appliances/pots Some bags : cutlery sorted (was thrown into one bag altogether!) into drawer. Sideboard : I don’t think all the cartons in photo are for unpack. Anyway needs unpack and put away. I have a 11 week old kitten and friends coming tomorrow lunchtime to stay so place needs to be sorted (finally!) From 2pm today could start as late as 4pm: 2-3 hours tops. I need someone who is quick and will do this largely unsupervised as I’ll be sorting bedroom (still) and making sure kitten not freaking out. So I think suit mature woman like me who will put things where I would at a guess. I’m v stressed and exhausted, so someone kind would be helpful too!
