Job Description

You'll keep a retired couple's cottage in Epping clean, calm and running smoothly for the family. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

What you'll actually do

  • Wash dishes and keep the kitchen tidy after meals
  • Clean windows and patio doors once a week
  • Prepare simple meals or school lunches when asked
  • Get children ready for school and supervise homework in the afternoon
  • Wash, hang, iron and fold the household's laundry
  • Water indoor plants and feed pets

You'll need

  • Able to handle a full-day physical routine
  • South African ID or valid work permit
  • Willing to follow the family's house rules and routines
  • Neat, organised and able to work without being supervised

Helpful, not essential

  • Non-smoker
  • A driver's licence for school lifts

What's in it for you

  • Own room with bathroom for live-in posts
  • Written contract with fixed hours and duties
  • Registered for UIF and COIDA by the employer
