Domestic Helper (3 Days a Week) – Permanent

A family in Durban Central wants someone they can trust with their large estate home and their children. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

This post is Durban Central-based, with most of your time spent at a large estate home.

• Wash, hang, iron and fold the household's laundry
• Get children ready for school and supervise homework in the afternoon
• Keep a list of cleaning supplies running low for the employer
• Change bed linen and make beds
• Clean bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and living areas on a weekly rotation

• Neat, organised and able to work without being supervised
• Able to handle a full-day physical routine
• Willing to follow the family's house rules and routines
• Able to speak and understand basic English
• Good with children and patient

• Own room with bathroom for live-in posts
• Paid annual leave and public holidays as the law requires
• Transport money for live-out staff
• Registered for UIF and COIDA by the employer

• Say plainly what you can and cannot do: cooking, ironing, childcare, driving. It avoids arguments later and families like honesty.
• Families hire on trust, so make references your strongest part. Write the employer's name, suburb, years worked and phone number for each one.
