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.

Organized Person to Help Me Pack

$400

Breakfast Point NSW, Australia

2nd Jul 2025

Hey! I’m looking for a super organized female to help me pack household items into clear plastic storage containers that I already have. We’ll be doing this together as a team — I’ll be there the whole time guiding and helping — but I need an extra set of hands because I’ve got a fresh tattoo healing and can’t risk lifting or scratching myself. I also need existing items in my storage cage rearranged to neatly fit these containers. While there will be some lifting required, there’s mainly no heavy lifting involved — the containers have wheels, and we literally just roll them into the elevator and push them into a storage cage downstairs in the building. Easy stuff, just need someone who’s efficient, organized, and cool to work alongside. You’ll Need to Be: • Good at organizing, labeling and packing neatly • Comfortable with light tasks and pushing wheeled containers • Friendly, chill, and able to work as a team • Available today (3/July/2025) Main categories for organizing are: Kitchen items Electronics Books and Documents Clothes and shoes

Really great help! I was recovering from injury so I couldn’t be much of help but she was amazing in helping me pack and even clean after! So helpful so glad to have received her help, thank you!!

General house chores and organising will pay 150

$5

Ringwood VIC 3134, Australia

2nd Jul 2025

Basically Im a single mum with a 9 month old baby so i dont get too much spare time between him and my side job, which can take up quite a lot of time and creates more mess and with my adhd and lack of organisation skills it can become very stressful to wake up in an unorganised chaotic environment which then makes it hard to focus when i have a messy house! Im pretty much after a person who enjoys organising and rearranging stuff, doesnt mind general chores like washing dishes or wiping cupboards, folding washing and putting it all away etc. but i will be home at the time and also cleaning up and sorting through things, throwing heaps of stuff away (if you like anything that im throwing out you are more then welcome to keep). i basically just need another pair of hands because i will have to look after my son and probably will get distracted too. Im willing to pay 150 for whoever can help me out for a few hours. its literally anything you see that needs to be tidied or cleaned or organised, go for it... because as you can probably tell its just way too overwhelming for me to get it done on my own without someone there to kick start me. Type of clean: Regular Number of bedrooms: 1 Number of bathrooms: 1 Equipment and supplies: I can provide

Jack went above and beyond helping me with cleaning at my house. He was polite, friendly, worked hard and completed each task to perfection. I definitely will be booking Jack again.

Remove items from Kitchen and clean kitchen shelves and benches.

$150

Homebush West NSW 2140, Australia

2nd Jul 2025

Right. I need all items removed from the kitchen cupboards and kitchen drawers. This includes utensils, appliances and pantry items. These items should be placed elsewhere in my unit. Why? Because the kitchen will be fumigated. I am a single person household. Then I need the clear spaces cleaned. So it's basically emptying and cleaning a kitchen. I need someone who is organised and who can communicate clearly in English. The task is only available on the Friday afternoon or Friday evening. Type of clean: Regular Number of bedrooms: None Number of bathrooms: None Equipment and supplies: I can provide

Nikki is absolutely brilliant! The ultimate professional. She brings true performance art to the task at hand. A deserved standing ovation. Thank you Nikki.

Folding & Organising clothes / Washing / Laundry

$110

Willagee WA 6156, Australia

30th Jun 2025

Folding, sorting putting away clean clothes for 1 Adult and 2 Children. Backlog of washing currently needing sorting and putting away. Multiple full Baskets are washed and dried and ready to Fold, sort into whose belongs to who. Seperate into Tops, Bottoms, Jumpers, Underwear etc and place in Drawers in the respective bedrooms . Pics are not my washing however if you use your imagination and think of 4-5 baskets you will get a good idea! Approx 3-4 hours work, depending how quickly and efficiently you fold. Doesn’t need to be perfectly folded or super neat. Just need to be able to place in drawers and see what is what and allocated to each persons room. For the right person regular work each week is available 3 hours approx weekly with some adhoc tidy or dishes tasks. I don’t need cleaning support at this time. Just the washing that I seem to battle with! Located in Willagee. Hoping for someone to come possibly Wednesday / Friday during the day. Or Thursday afternoon.

Extremely Efficient. Very intuitive and an awareness of how things work in the house and where things go! Smashed out the washing I needed help with in no time with a care factor and attention to detail. Thankyooouuu
