Find professional housekeeping services in Northcote

We are looking for a reliable, experienced and trustworthy person to help with household chores for a busy family with two young children in Northcote. Both parents work full-time, so we’re looking for someone who can come once a week on an ongoing basis and help keep the household organised and running smoothly. Tasks will include: • Washing, drying, folding and putting away laundry • Changing beds and general linen • General tidying and organising around the house • Tidying children’s bedrooms/play areas • Unloading/loading the dishwasher and keeping the kitchen tidy • Light vacuuming, mopping and general cleaning • Putting groceries and household items away • Preparing/cooking 2–3 family meals each week, ideally meals that can be refrigerated or frozen for the family to eat during the week • Cleaning up the kitchen after cooking We’re not looking for a traditional cleaner who spends the whole time doing a deep clean. The priority is having someone who can use their time flexibly to take care of the household jobs that are hardest for a busy family to keep on top of. Ideally you: • Have previous experience as a housekeeper, family assistant, nanny/household helper or similar • Are organised, practical and take initiative • Are comfortable cooking simple, healthy family meals • Have excellent attention to detail • Are reliable and looking for an ongoing arrangement • Have good references • Have a current Working With Children Check and/or Police Check (preferred) We are thinking approximately 4 hours once a week, with the exact tasks prioritised each visit depending on what needs doing. Please let us know about your experience, availability and hourly rate when applying. We are looking for the right person for a long-term weekly arrangement rather than a one-off clean.

Hi Viviana, I posted a job 2 months ago about housekeeping once a month for $500. Would you be still interested. It would be ongoing for the rest of the year. The house is 3 bed 2 bath + powder room and studio (which doesnt get used very often). My wife and I have a 10 month old baby so we havent been able to keep up the house work to our usual standard (even though we do the best we can). Please let me know if youre interested. We're based in Northcote and would like to get started in the next 2 weeks. Thanks! Shane + Georgette

We are a young, energetic family of 5 looking for a trusted Housekeeper to attend our family home 3 times per week to complete the following tasks: - Laundry wash/dry/fold/put away - Wardrobe management. Keep tidy - Dishes cleaned, put away. - Put away groceries, maintain fridge, cut fruit/veg - Toy management & keeping kids rooms clean - Changing bed sheets, washing, maintaining linen cupboard. - Light cleaning (we have a weekly cleaner but would need daily light cleaning) We are flexible around the time of day, but would like you to come anytime during the work day (between 9 to 4) whilst we are at work/school/daycare. There is also an opportunity to prep meals for when we get home if you have that skill set and desire for additional hour per shift. This is an ongoing task. We'd need someone to start the week of the 20th April, and to attend our home 3 days per week. Ideally Monday, Tuesday & Thursday. Each shift would be 3 hours, or 4 hours with the addition of dinner/meal prep if the candidate is willing/able/skilled to take that on. We take a lot of pride in our home so are looking for someone with a good eye for organisation and attention to detail. The rate is $45 per hour, so $135 per visit (or $180 with meal prep)

We are a family who work with two young kids. We have a great cleaner fortnightly but seeking a “housekeeper” on the other week to help with larger scale cleaning/organizing jobs - varying types. Here is a (not complete) list of things this person would help with: Cleaning organising kitchen cupboards Cleaning second drawer Organizing shelves/toys Drop stuff to salvos Move small furniture/pc Fold kids clothes and put away Small home decorating tasks (kids room decorations) Re-organise linen shelves Take photos of things for eBay sale Clean inside of the car Essentially, organizing stuff but not basic cleaning tasks. I would like this person on either Mondays or Fridays as I WFH those days and will be actively supporting and giving guidance, getting you started basically. I will pay $40 per hour and ideally 4 hrs per fortnight. Or if it works for us both, more sessions at the beginning to get through it faster.

Hello, We live in Northcote in a happy home with our six children, dog and two budgies. Kids are from 5 to 17. We are struggling to stay on top of everything while working, and the house too often feels messy and it’s stressful. We have decided it’s time to bring in some help. This would be a regular gig, possibly 6 hours a week (3x2 or 2x3 hours). Initially a trial and if it works out then ongoing. We really want someone who can get familiar with our home and know where things go. Chores would include tidying the house and garden (putting stuff away, ordering, vacuuming, sweeping), (Gardening is a bonus but not necessary), washing clothes and drying/putting away (we have a washer and a dryer and a dishwasher), occasional cooking of meals (just basics like pasta sauces and other simple meals) and preparing of lunches (frozen meals in Tupperware) etc. Please only make an offer if you can do all of these things. Please include some info re experience and how’d you’d approach these tasks. Note: please quote your hourly rate for 2-6 hours per week. I have said $30 per hour as a ballpark figure. Thanks😀
