Are you a Kapiti local, available for four hours a week to provide Domestic Housekeeping duties for a family of 6?
Think more Alice from the Brady Bunch than Sadie the Cleaning lady…
My client is looking for the following super star:
Due to our wonderful person resigning to go on an epic life adventure – time frame unknown, we are looking for a housekeeper/cleaner/person who can get to know us and can make our house livable each week. We are a busy family of 6 with dogs, cats, chickens and goldfish so it will be no small task. This is not just a cleaning job, it is about making the family home livable and functional for how we live.
Purpose and scope of role
Weekly 4 hour house clean plus domestic administration duties. Examples provided below are not an exhaustive list and duties will be discussed and agreed in advance. Please note, there is no expectation that all of these listed duties would be done every week - it is whatever is needed and is agreed and that can be completed within the four hours. The list is an example of the kind of work required.
- laundry (washing / hanging / drying / folding / putting away)
- tidying / organising / throwing shit out / putting things away where they belong (including seasonal items back into the loft)
- updating shopping list when things run out (cleaning supplies, loo paper etc. not the food stuff)
- spring cleaning (windows, skirting boards etc.)
Person specification
You will be physically capable of the work required, comfortable working both on your own or with someone home (usually just one adult working from home)
You will be able to effectively clean, organise, arrange etc. the various spaces in the house to suit the needs and functions of our family
You will have good references and experience in a similar role (not necessarily cleaning as you may have transferable skills and experience)
You will be reliable and conscientious, communicating when you are unable to come because you are ill or have upcoming periods of leave of absence.
You will be a non-smoker (this is not negotiable)
Location
Nikau Valley, Paraparaumu.
Remuneration
The rate of pay is $30 per hour. You will be paid as a contractor (not employee) for time worked only and are therefore responsible for your own tax responsibilities, sick days, holidays etc.
Preferred day of service is Wednesday but this is negotiable. Additional duties / hours available and will be discussed and agreed in advance.
Additional notes
If you have a dog(s) that gets on well with others, we welcome you to bring them with you while you work - pending introductions between the animals go well:-)

Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...
Share your Christmas mishaps below!
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
