Job Description

A family in Atlantis wants someone they can trust with their townhouse in a security complex and their children. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The site is in Atlantis; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

The work, day to day

  • Get children ready for school and supervise homework in the afternoon
  • Water indoor plants and feed pets
  • Change bed linen and make beds
  • Prepare simple meals or school lunches when asked
  • Clean windows and patio doors once a week

You'll need

  • Neat, organised and able to work without being supervised
  • Good with children and patient
  • Able to speak and understand basic English
  • Able to handle a full-day physical routine

Helpful, not essential

  • A driver's licence for school lifts
  • Non-smoker

On offer

  • Transport money for live-out staff
  • Paid annual leave and public holidays as the law requires
  • Written contract with fixed hours and duties

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Atlantis really suit you before you apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: two or three reference letters with contact numbers plus copy of your ID or work permit.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 8 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 Atlantis.

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Families hire on trust, so make references your strongest part. Write the employer's name, suburb, years worked and phone number for each one.
  • Ask for a written contract and to be registered for UIF. Good employers expect the question and it protects you.
