3 Reasons to Hire a Housekeeper

If 2024 is the year that you’re outsourcing some of your household chores or management, then you’ll want to hear more about our recruitment services for a housekeeper in London.

With access to some of the best candidates in the business, and the backing of a reputable company managing the complexity of recruitment and onboarding, working with a specialist household staff agency is the best way to bridge professional individuals with great experience.

Here are three reasons why we recommend hiring a housekeeper as a great starting point for your home.

Their Role Is More Versatile Than That Of A Maid Or Cleaner

For one thing, a housekeeper is one of the more versatile roles that you can hire for your home. Not only do they take on tasks which span cleaning and general maintenance throughout the home, but they can also take on responsibility for laundry, changing beds, clearing and cleaning dishes, and more.

A housekeeper can also become a part of your home via a live-in role or work a set number of hours as an external staff member – giving you even more flexibility and versatility as to how and when you want them to work.

You Can Combine Housekeeping With Other Roles And Requirements

Another thing worth noting about housekeepers in particular is the way the role lends itself to being grouped with other responsibilities – including pet and child care, running routine chores out and about (such as food shopping), and even cooking.

In order to fulfil a full-time role, more and more clients are grouping housekeeping with other roles to give their members of staff a more active and versatile routine. These combination roles tend to work especially well for those applying for live-in roles and can benefit you as the client in terms of availability and the potential to cover unsociable hours as agreed.

You Can Combine Housekeeping With Other Roles And Requirements

There’s a reason why household staff recruitment is on the up – and it’s largely down to the fact that homeowners across London and beyond want to be able to enjoy downtime for what it is: time away from work, spent doing the things they enjoy.

By hiring a housekeeper, you remove the demand on your time which fills weekends and evenings with housework, allowing you to spend time doing the things you love. What’s more, you can do these things and plan activities, safe in the knowledge that your home is being professionally cared for and cleaned – both when you’re there, and when you’re away.
