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.

Hand wash my dishes & vacuum a studio apartment

$60

Elwood VIC, Australia

4th Jun 2026

Hello, I live in a studio apartment and I need someone to just hand wash my dishes. Then just vacuum the floors. It’s an easy job and it won’t take long at all. I’ll have to put my cat in the bathroom and shut it, because my lil man gets very very scared, and then swap over for you to vacuum the bathroom. Please understand that this is not a big job and you don’t need 2 hours. I would say max 20 minutes to do the dishes and 10-15 minutes max to vacuuming. I’m Living out of suit cases and have no cupboards, so there’s not much floor to cover. It’s not a big job at all. IMPORTANT; I need full transparency with who you are and does not turn around and start saying “I needed money to do this or that. You speak English clearly and having your own car is also important! I’ve had big issues with people who speak absolutely no English but has it translated. In that job it was alway washing and they new this but she didn’t have transport and lived in the city, so of all things, I had to drive her home and pay for a Uber to pick them up in 2 days. Plus I got a fine. This has happened again, so I’m losing faith in the app, but it’s my last time I’m trying. I do want a FEMALE please? This is a small private place and I’m sitting right here, so I hope to all the Men understand that it’s not them, it’s what I feel comfortable in my home. So I’m looking for a female, that can drive, spk proper English and can work autonomously, but I’m still right here. I hope to have someone with light hearted banter, and if you’re good with working with people on a DSP for my mental health, there could be more on going opportunities that I’ll need. Example, helping me to fill out forms and helping me maintaining my house and life, as I keep falling through the cracks of the medical health system! I would love it done today, but I could wait till tomorrow if necessary. There’s a video in there too. Thanks kindly Melissa

Clean a new apartment + unpack/ organise from an interstate move

$220

East Melbourne VIC, Australia

21st May 2026

We’re moving from Sydney to Melbourne and looking for 1–2 helping hands on 2 June to help us unpack and organise the place after our interstate move. Main tasks: • Unpacking roughly 20 boxes • Cleaning the apartment, including wardrobes & shelves before items go in • Helping organise and set up the apartment • Breaking down boxes / tidying rubbish & packaging • General house setup support Nothing heavy lifting involved - all boxes will already be inside the apartment. We’ll be there giving direction, but ideally looking for people who can also take initiative and help with organising rather than needing constant instruction. Looking for help as we are exhausted from the move The interstate movers are arriving sometime between 8am–4pm, so timing on the day is a little uncertain. Looking for someone who can be reasonably flexible with timing depending on when the truck arrives. Goal is to have the apartment ~80% set up, organised and semi-clean by the end of the session (around 4 hours of help). Perfect for uni students or anyone wanting to make some extra cash. Might be ~3.5-4 hours?

Very kind and efficient.
