Domestic Worker (Live-Out, Weekdays)

Cleaning, laundry and a hand with the kids: that is the week in a guesthouse with family quarters in Midrand. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

You'll report in Midrand. Relocation is not covered for this one.
