About Us

We are a caring, professional family of five looking for a warm, proactive and highly organised person to join our household in a varied, hands-on role.

This is not a standard job with rigid hours - our home and business lives are closely connected and we need someone flexible, adaptable and ready to help where needed.

The role includes cleaning, housekeeping, personal admin assistance, running errands and family support - with a focus on providing care support for our 14-year-old son, who is profoundly disabled.

Our son lives between two homes - ours and his grandparents’ home - so care will be required at both locations when needed (we live 5 minutes apart).

We welcome individuals or couples to consider this role, with higher pay and expanded responsibilities available for a couple working together.
