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.

Camberwell VIC 3124, Australia

27th Aug 2026

I’m a stay-at-home mum with a young daughter and I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed by the amount of stuff and clutter we’ve accumulated — both mine and hers. I’d love some hands-on help going through things, deciding what to keep, donate or store, and creating some simple, practical organisation systems that are actually easy to maintain with a toddler around. I find it really hard to tackle it properly on my own as my daughter is usually with me, so I’m looking for someone who can give me some strong guidance and help me make decisions as we go. I’d particularly love help with clothing and storage solutions. We also have a separate storage unit, so I’d like to work out what is worth keeping there and the best way to organise it. Main goal is to make the house feel much less cluttered and easier to manage!

I’m looking for a very capable, energetic and experienced person to help me systematically declutter, organise and clean my home in Kew. This is not simply a house-cleaning job. I want someone who is naturally organised, practical and hard-working, who can see what needs doing and work independently without needing constant supervision. The work will include: Emptying, cleaning and reorganising kitchen cupboards Sorting crockery, glassware, cutlery and household items into keep / donate / discard Completely cleaning out and reorganising the pantry, including removing expired food Sorting and reorganising the linen press and other cupboards General decluttering throughout the house Cleaning shelves, drawers and cupboards as they are emptied Taking unwanted items to rubbish/recycling/donation areas Sweeping and helping organise the garage Some simple outdoor jobs such as sweeping and weeding Generally helping me get the house beautifully organised and manageable again I will make decisions about anything valuable, sentimental or uncertain, but once we establish what I want, I need someone who can get on with the job independently and use good judgement. I am particularly interested in someone who has previous experience in home organisation, decluttering, housekeeping or preparing homes for sale/moving. Please only apply if you are energetic, efficient, reliable and genuinely enjoy organising and sorting. I’d initially like to book a 6 hour paid trial day, with considerably more work available if we work well together. When replying, please tell me: Your experience with decluttering and home organisation Whether you are comfortable cleaning as you organise Whether you can take donations/rubbish away if required Your hourly rate Please include examples or reviews from similar jobs you have completed. Please don’t send a generic response — I’d like to hear specifically why you think you’d be suited to this job.

Cleaner + domestic tasks (likely ongoing)

$55

Abbotsford VIC, Australia

5th Jun 2026

I have recently separated and required ongoing support for cleaning and domestic tasks I have some health, pain, and mobility issues and so require not only standard deep cleaning of my apartment (vacuum, mop, dust, bathrooms, etc plus occasional oven, windows as required) but I will also occasionally need support for things like sheets being changed, balcony swept, or perhaps washing The scope will change depending on my health and so I’m requiring flexibility from the individual. My previous support has now very sadly had to move back overseas. Trustworthy, comfort around animals (I have two cats and occasionally my dog), run my company from home, and like to make anyone coming into my space also feel welcome. An initial trial would be followed by an agreement on Candace hourly rate proposed. Happy to start today if possible but not urgent

Much appreciated support during a very stressful time. Thanks Dee
