Housekeepers are generally responsible for a wide range of tasks that contribute to the overall upkeep and functionality of a household. You may need a housekeeper to clean, tidy and manage household chores. This could include dusting furniture, mopping floors, vacuuming carpets, and wiping down surfaces.

In addition to cleaning, a housekeeper could take care of laundry - sorting, washing, ironing and folding clothes, ensuring that each item is handled with care. A good housekeeper will have great attention to detail and ensure that every nook and cranny is free from dust and dirt. But they can be so much more!
