Cleaner/ Airbnb co-host needed
Hi!
We're looking for a reliable cleaner to help clean/ co-host our 2 Airbnb apartments in the CBD (both in Emily Place, city)
· We would need you to clean on average 2-4 mornings a week, 1–3 hours per clean (depending on length of stay of guest). You will need availability most days, but you'll be sharing with another cleaner/ co-host, and us, the hosts, so there is flexibility in terms of number of days and which days worked, week to week.
· Cleaning hours are usually from 10am, which is check out. Occasionally check out is later. Apartments need to be ready by 3pm at the latest for the next guest.
· Very occasionally you might have to take home some laundry to dry or wash and dry. If so we will pay you an extra for this.
We'll want you to be able to work collaboratively with others, and follow instructions when given.
We'll give you full paid training and will do the first few cleans with you. You will have a spreadsheet/ instructions to help you when you go solo.
You must be trustworthy - so we'd love you to provide some referees if you can.
We hope you can join us!

Best,
Pete and Nic
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

Harbour Bridge lane closure - protests
The Treaty Principles Bill was introduced to parliament last week and could have ramifications on the partnership between the Crown and Māori.
Hīkoi mō te Tiriti (March for the Treaty of Waitangi) set off from Cape Rēinga on Monday morning and is expected to reach Wellington next Tuesday. It has now passed through Kaitaia, Kawakawa, Whangārei, Dargaville and is passing through Auckland on Wednesday.
What you need to know today:
- The hīkoi is due to cross the Auckland Harbour Bridge about 9.30am on Wednesday. Two northbound lanes will be closed at some point before the crossing, and remain closed during it.
- NZTA shared at 8:50am Wednesday:
'Curran St northbound on-ramp will be closed shortly, with two northbound lanes on the Harbour Bridge expected to close from approx 9.30am this morning. Allow extra time for likely delays through this area.'
- The hīkoi is expected to go across the Harbour Bridge, in a controlled fashion before marching through parts of the CBD towards Okahu Bay.
- Auckland commuters should expect traffic disruption in vicinity of both sides of the Harbour Bridge.
Stuff reporter Steve Kilgallon was at Stafford Park on the north side of the Harbour Bridge at 8.30am Wednesday and shared:
"I just walked through Stafford Park, where there’s about 400-500 people quietly assembled and more arriving; and about 20 police standing over near the motorway off ramp. Lot of Tino Rangatira flags in evidence, local streets very busy with parked cars."
Police have shared that they will respond accordingly to any issues that may arise along the route.
