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.

Basic Family Assistant

$30

Mango Hill, Queensland

17th Apr 2026

3 hours/day, $30/hr. Negotiable based on experience and skills. My wife and I (2 parents with ADHD) and 2 girls (1 of them has ADHD) are looking for someone to help us with the following tasks from Monday to Friday, long-term: - Help prepare lunch boxes for kids. - Take 1 adult with 1 child to the school and then take the adult back. - Very basic food prep for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. (Extremely easy, and training is provided if needed. Talking about boiled eggs, boiled potatoes with oven-baked chicken ties. Super simple things) - Overall cleaning and organization (No laundry.) If you need a proper job, we can provide that as we run our business from home. If you doing this through your own ABN that's also perfect. We are very flexible and down-to-earth people with two little crazy girls who make a lot of mess. And that mess directly impacts our capacity to function in our business. So organization is something we struggle to keep up but we really need. You must have a driving license and your own car. We will pay for any fuel usage that's needed. We will order everything online for you that you need to complete the tasks so you don't need to go shopping or anything like that. This would be Monday to Friday, 8 am to 11 am. This can potentially progress into a couple of more hours. We are looking for a dedicated, kind person who likes predictability and values stability in work. I have added one of our couple photo so you can see we are legit people even tho the job might sound a bit odd. Age does not matter as long as you believe you have the right personal qualities. If you are looking to progress into more of a personal assistant or EA role down the line, it's also possible for the right person with the right basic skills that we can work on later.
