Domestic Worker with Elderly Care

A family in Tembisa wants someone they can trust with their townhouse in a security complex and their children. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

This post is in Tembisa (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Dust furniture, ornaments and skirting boards
• Clean windows and patio doors once a week
• Help an elderly person with meals, medication reminders and light walking
• Get children ready for school and supervise homework in the afternoon
• Water indoor plants and feed pets
• Keep a list of cleaning supplies running low for the employer
• Change bed linen and make beds

• Good with children and patient
• Willing to follow the family's house rules and routines
• South African ID or valid work permit
• Trustworthy, with references from previous employers you can share

• Registered for UIF and COIDA by the employer
• Transport money for live-out staff
• Written contract with fixed hours and duties

• Say plainly what you can and cannot do: cooking, ironing, childcare, driving. It avoids arguments later and families like honesty.
• Ask for a written contract and to be registered for UIF. Good employers expect the question and it protects you.
