We are a busy family of five on the Mornington Peninsula, mum, dad, and three children aged 3, 7 and 9, plus two dogs. We are looking for a full time Housekeeper to help keep our home clean, organised, and running well.

This is a hands-on role focused on ensuring the home remains clean, organised, and well presented at all times. Most of the week is spent on cleaning, laundry, and keeping the house prepared for school, sport, and busy weeks. The rest is meal preparation, cooking, and practical support with the children.

This is a secure, long term position with one household. Whoever takes this role will be in our home and most days around all of us, so we are looking for someone we can build a genuine, long term relationship with.
