Day-to-Day Responsibilities
This position requires comprehensive cleaning around the home, including kitchen and bathroom details, surface cleaning, and regular washing and laundry.
You’ll also be expected to handle errands, collect mail, and attend to grocery shopping and stocking, providing important household support.
Pet care and cleanup form part of the duties, so a love for animals is important. Occasional house sitting, plant care and car washing may be required as well.
The job also involves handling basic security – such as setting alarm systems, and being trustworthy is paramount since you may be available on short notice.
Organisation of living spaces, attic clearing, and packing/unpacking needs will round off a varied and responsible daily routine that will keep you busy and engaged.

Downsides to Consider
The role requires at least five years’ paid professional experience and a solid knowledge of both Afrikaans and Tagalog, which could be a barrier for some candidates.
Flexibility is needed, with availability on short notice and the occasional extended or overnight stay, which might not suit all applicants.
