Extra pair of hands needed! Housekeeper/Cleaner/Mother's help 20-25 hrs per week


Recommended Posts

We are looking for a housekeeper/excellent cleaner/mothers help 20-25 hours per week. Tasks to include cleaning, tidying, laundry and ironing, preferably some cooking and other odd jobs.


We have a 2 month old and 22 month old, so must be someone very comfortable with young toddlers and babies, who is kind and calm. Ideally we'd love someone who would be happy to babysit for an hour or two during the day or perhaps occasionally at the weekend or evenings.


Ideal hours would include some early evenings (e.g. 5.30-8pm two or three days per week) for the next month or two. Other hours negotiable and flexible for the right candidate. Must be someone proactive, cheerful and thorough, who is happy to muck in and take initiative on what needs doing! We really hope to find someone who will fit in to our family and for the kids to get to know well.


Please pm me if you would be interested or can recommend someone. Thanks! Rachel

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
