We are Thomas & Jessie a married couple in our 30's with three little ones Ollie (3yrs), Christian (2 yrs), and Alaina (baby). Thomas runs our tour business from home while Jessie is in charge of all things parenting. We were lucky enough to live between Los Angeles and Melbourne most of the time (well before Covid anyway) and our lives are anything but conventional (we've traveled the world working from our laptops).
We need a live-in amazing female helper to assist us with the household tasks (cleaning, laundry, dishes, etc). You MUST follow instructions, be hardworking (fast), follow a schedule, be clean, respectful, and detail-oriented.
You'll get your own private room in our Penthouse apartment on the famous Chapel Street, complete with everything you need... small fridge, comfortable queen bed, 55" 4K Smart TV (Netflix, HBO), and plenty of storage.
Breakfast, Healthy Green Juice, Protein Shake, & Dinner is included on workdays.
Remember to check the restrictions on international travel to Australia, our government has closed the country to most international visitors for now so please only message if you are already here or can get in.
If you're the ideal helper we will probably need an assistant wherever/if we travel for the next five years so for the ideal person we could potentially bring you with us (Melbourne, Perth, Queensland, Hawaii).
Please only apply if you have read our description and are a good match, please include a link to your social media to show you've read this message completely. :-)
Cheers,
Thomas & Jessie

DESCRIPTION:
We will show you exactly how to do each task, it is important you can follow our instructions and do exactly as we ask on time with attention to detail and a good work ethic. The only skill you will need is to be able to follow instructions and work hard/fast. Each task is assigned a time and day on our calendar and usually repeats weekly, we will show you how to do each task the first time, help you do it the second time, and then expect you'll be able to do it without our assistance (we've written out detailed instructions for everything).
Additional paid work is available for $20 per hour.
You'll have various cleaning tasks each week which will include scrubbing, dusting, vacuuming, mopping, polishing, etc. It's important that you have great attention to detail, we have high standards - 2 x weekly.
Babysitting Kids - Once a week we'll schedule a few hours to babysit our kids so you'll need to be comfortable around babies and toddlers.
Various Tasks - You'll be asked to help us with a variety of things each week and we will show you exactly what needs to be done. There are no specific skills required but you must have great attention to detail, be willing to work hard, and follow instructions exactly.
Your job is to make our lives easier by doing the repetitive tasks that take up some of our time, once we teach you how to do a task we expect it done on time without our supervision. Please only apply if you have the required attributes and are willing and able to do all of the above.
