Thinking about welcoming a nanny housekeeper/ housekeeper into your home?

If you’ve decided that having consistent, professional support at home is the right solution for your household, hiring a housekeeper can make a meaningful difference to your daily life. Whether you’re based in London, elsewhere in the UK, or abroad, a skilled housekeeper brings organisation, reliability, and peace of mind — helping to create a calm, well-run home environment.

Housekeepers offer practical, hands-on support tailored to your family’s lifestyle, preferences, and routines. From keeping your home spotless to assisting with laundry, errands, or even meal prep, their presence allows you to focus more on the things that matter most.

Expert Household Support

Unlike ad-hoc cleaners or agency services, a dedicated housekeeper becomes a consistent and trusted member of your home team. They typically work live-in or live-out, on either a full- or part-time basis depending on your needs. This flexibility makes them an excellent choice for busy families, professionals, or anyone looking to streamline daily life.

Housekeepers are especially valuable in households where time is limited or standards are high — ensuring everything runs smoothly behind the scenes, every day.

Typical Responsibilities of a Housekeeper

Every household is different, but a housekeeper’s duties may include:

• Daily cleaning and upkeep of the home

• Deep cleaning tasks on a regular schedule

• Laundry, ironing, and wardrobe management

• Light cooking or meal preparation

• Grocery shopping or household errands

• Managing household supplies and organisation

• Occasional pet care or supervision of tradespeople

Some housekeepers may also take on additional duties, such as supporting childcare, assisting with guests, or maintaining a second home — though these should be discussed and agreed upon in advance.

A Smoother, More Organised Home

The right housekeeper can transform the way your household functions — creating order, easing daily pressures, and giving you more time to enjoy your home. Whether you have a fast-paced family life or prefer a quiet, private environment, a well-matched housekeeper adapts to your rhythm and standards.

As your needs evolve over time, your housekeeper can adjust their role accordingly, whether that means adding new responsibilities or shifting focus to better suit your lifestyle.
