Thanks to Melissa our bedrooms and study are now looking organised for the first time since we moved in six months ago! Melissa is efficient, makes great recommendations and knows how to make clever use of small spaces, and where before I felt like we didn’t have enough storage, we now have a whole empty cupboard. We will definitely be having her back for “round 2” to work on the rest of the house!

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.

South Yarra, Victoria

Hi Airtaskers, I’m in need of a housekeeper for 1.5 hours per week at a reoccurring time that suits both our schedules. I’m happy to add more hours if there’s more work to be done. The price listed is $35 per hour. I know I’m not offering a lot of hours each week. To compensate, I want to be the easiest and most reliable task you deal with. This would ideally be best suited to someone that wanted extra work after their main. The tasks that need to be completed: - Ironing & putting clothes into my wardrobe - Shower and bathroom clean - Changing bedsheets - Emptying small kitchen bins I know these sound like oddly specific tasks, but they always seem to get away from me after my work week. I always manage to maintain the rest of my home. While you’re here, you’d be invited to have as much coffee and any bevs or snacks from my fridge. Also, I’d love to provide a glowing reference for you. It’s the least I can do to compensate for not being able to provide more work hours. Ideally, I’d love to get to a point where I can provide you with your own key to complete the task, even if I’m not there. Please reach out with any questions. Best, Lachlan

Wow, just wow. Hiring Caroline was the best decision I’ve made.

Urgent: General helper (organise, tidy etc.)

$150

Elwood VIC 3184, Australia

26th Jul 2025

Urgent - General helper needed on hourly rate basis ($50 per hour). Number of misc. tasks I.e help organise and tidy, potentially run an errand such as drop off dry cleaning. Goal is basically to save me time, I can provide assistance/direction as required or we may even collaborate on the same task eg organising but someone with common sense, eye for organisation/initiative would be nice! You would be paid for your time not task completion, so more a matter of availability. Own car preferred. May not be necessary but it’s a plus. Could potentially drive my car in future. No set budget, a minimum 2 hours I suspect is needed today, but if you are efficient and autonomous probably have as many hours of work as you are available! May turn into a recurring task or even permanent role if you’re a good fit

Nice guy, efficient got the job done
