Domestic Worker (Live-Out, Weekdays)

A family in Brackenfell wants someone they can trust with their guesthouse with family quarters and their children. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

Home base is a guesthouse with family quarters on the Brackenfell side of Western Cape. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.
