A Housekeeper covers all general household cleaning and upkeep. A Housekeeper does not have direct contact with children, that is the role of a multi-skilled Housekeeper-Nanny to give childcare support or a Nanny-Housekeeper, who does light housekeeping duties. A Housekeeper is experienced in caring for the whole house, more than a cleaner, as they are there to care for the whole house, do laundry, wardrobe management, organise grocery shopping, deal with tradesmen and ensure the home is well cared for and well presented.
