How to apply

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Pietermaritzburg really suit you before you apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): two or three reference letters with contact numbers, first-aid or childcare certificate if you have one plus copy of your ID or work permit.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 9 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Pietermaritzburg.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

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.
