Estate Housekeeper (Large Home)

Part-time

How2Apply Talent Network

This position requires local presence. Please view similar jobs below.

You'll keep a townhouse in a security complex in Paarl clean, calm and running smoothly for the family. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

This post is Paarl-based, with most of your time spent at a townhouse in a security complex.

What your day looks like

  • Keep a list of cleaning supplies running low for the employer
  • Wash dishes and keep the kitchen tidy after meals
  • Clean windows and patio doors once a week
  • Get children ready for school and supervise homework in the afternoon
  • Help an elderly person with meals, medication reminders and light walking

Must-haves

  • Able to speak and understand basic English
  • Good with children and patient
  • Willing to follow the family's house rules and routines
  • Trustworthy, with references from previous employers you can share

Helpful, not essential

  • Experience caring for an older person
  • Cooking experience with family meals
  • Non-smoker

What you get

  • Own room with bathroom for live-in posts
  • Paid annual leave and public holidays as the law requires
  • Registered for UIF and COIDA by the employer

How to apply

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: first-aid or childcare certificate if you have one plus two or three reference letters with contact numbers.
  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 7 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 Paarl.

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.

Before you hit apply

  • Ask for a written contract and to be registered for UIF. Good employers expect the question and it protects you.
  • Say plainly what you can and cannot do: cooking, ironing, childcare, driving. It avoids arguments later and families like honesty.
