This full-time opportunity as a Live-In Housekeeper & Childcare Assistant comes with a monthly salary of R8,500, offering job stability and the benefit of separate accommodation and meals. As an independent reviewer, I find the role’s package, including a performance bonus and a long-term contract, competitive for the sector. Note that applicants need a valid work visa and must be able to drive. The non-smoking, non-drinking requirement underlines the focus on a healthy, family-oriented environment.

About the Day-to-Day Role

On a typical day, you’ll handle home cleaning and organisation, including a small Airbnb property. The schedule is Monday to Saturday (half-day on Saturdays), and the position is live-in, ensuring you’re fully involved in the household routine. Tasks include daily cleaning, managing household errands, preparing some meals, and supervising children (ages 8 and 10) especially during mornings and homework.

Pros of this Job

The stable monthly salary, performance bonus, and included meals are definite advantages. Having your own accommodation adds another layer of comfort and security. If you enjoy a family environment and a predictable schedule, this long-term role can offer job satisfaction and a good work-life balance.

Cons to Consider

This is a demanding job that requires early starts and presence six days a week. Strict requirements (such as valid papers and no smoking or drinking) may also limit some candidates. Driving is essential, so lack of a licence is a deal-breaker.

Verdict

If you meet all requirements, this role is a solid choice for anyone seeking stability, a caring family atmosphere, and tangible daily responsibilities. The compensation is fair, and the benefits substantial for a live-in household manager role.
