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.

If you’re looking for related services near you, some of the most popular on Airtasker right now include End of Lease Cleaning, Apartment Cleaning, Maid Service, Steam Cleaning, and Couch Cleaning. Whatever you need done, you can post a task and get offers from local Taskers near you.

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.

Household helper

$140

Alderley QLD 4051, Australia

21st Oct 2026

Hi! We're a family of four in Alderley with two small kids. My husband and I both work full-time, so the day-to-day running of the house tends to slip. We're looking for someone warm, reliable and organised to come in once a week and help us get back on top of things. We already have a cleaner, so this isn't a cleaning job. It's more about keeping the household ticking along, the kind of help that makes a real difference to a busy family. What a typical week might look like: • Folding washing and putting it away (our biggest need!) • Changing sheets and making beds • Tidying the kids' rooms, toys and the living areas • Unloading the dishwasher and resetting the kitchen Occasional extras, as needed: • Simple meal prep for the week, such as chopping, batch cooking or freezer meals • Sorting and tidying wardrobes as the girls grow out of clothes • Decluttering and organising cupboards, play areas or storage, following my guidance on what to keep, donate or toss We'd love someone who notices what needs doing and just gets on with it. Experience with families, or a natural knack for organising, would be a big plus. Details: • About 4 hours, once a week, okay during school hours • Ongoing for the right person • Hourly rate negotiable based on experience

Alli was amazing with meal prep, making beds and helping around the house. So thorough and great attention to detail. Amazing to have the extra help!

Samson WA 6163, Australia

I’ve been travelling, have teenagers in the house and am juggling a busy business and events. Somewhere in the middle of all that, the house has got away from me—and I’m struggling to catch up! 😂 I’m looking for someone practical, organised and proactive to help me get things back under control. Things I’d love help with include: * General cleaning and tidying * Vacuuming and mopping * Cleaning the kitchen and bathrooms * Folding and putting away clean laundry * Changing bed linen * Organising clutter and putting things back where they belong * Taking out rubbish and recycling * Other general household jobs as we work through priorities The goal is a clean, calm, organised home that feels easier to keep on top of. I’d love someone who can take initiative, spot what needs doing and get stuck in without needing every little task explained. A friendly, non-judgemental approach is a must—life is full, and I could use an extra pair of hands! Thinking an initial 4–6 hours, with the possibility of ongoing help if we’re a good fit. Would love to get it done this Sunday or Monday. 18th/19th Oct But can be flexible Please include your availability, relevant experience and what your offer covers.

Can highly recommend Alana, she works autonomously, quickly and efficiently. An absolute God send for a busy household. Thank you Alana
