Professional Housekeepers

Having a professional housekeeper is a great way to keep your home in pristine condition and make sure everyday cleaning tasks are consistently taken care of. This is particularly helpful for those working full time, doing shift work or simply lacking the time to manage housekeeping duties themselves.

Choosing the right fit for your family is vital to create an ongoing, harmonious working relationship. Nannies Matter matches families with reliable, vetted cleaners who are fully trained to handle a wide range of domestic cleaning tasks. To arrange a domestic cleaner or house-cleaning service that suits your specific needs, call us today on 07736 337065, or fill out the contact form on this page.

Why Hire a Professional Housekeeper?

Hiring a professional housekeeper can make your life easier, especially if you have a busy working life or schedule. Whether you need help with your daily chores, want to keep your property in spotless condition or require an expert to take care of deep cleaning and organisation, a housekeeper will leave you with more time to spend on what you really love.

A good housekeeper allows you to manage your time more effectively and helps reduce the stress of juggling work and home life. With help from a local cleaner or a live-in professional, you can enjoy more quality time and fewer worries about laundry, ironing, mopping floors or wiping down surfaces.

Every house is different, and so are its cleaning requirements. Whether your home needs regular cleaning, a one-off spring clean or targeted support with specific jobs like dry cleaning drop-offs or appliance maintenance, we can match you with the perfect candidate. Many of our housekeepers are also happy to assist with pet care, running errands and other extra tasks that help to keep your home spotless and well-organised.

What Services Do Professional Housekeepers Provide?

Our housekeepers are versatile professionals who offer a range of cleaning services and support to help you maintain your home to the highest standards. The core services our housekeepers provide include, but are not limited to:

• Daily and weekly cleaning: routine domestic cleaning services such as dusting, vacuuming, mopping floors, and cleaning bathrooms and kitchens. These tasks keep your home in immaculate condition and are tailored to your schedule.
• Deep cleaning: ideal for spring cleans or before hosting guests. This service involves intensive cleaning of your home’s overlooked areas, such as behind appliances, inside cupboards and on high surfaces, helping maintain a hygienic environment throughout your property.
• Laundry and ironing: professional support with all clothing and linen, including washing, drying, folding and ironing to help keep wardrobes tidy and full of fresh items of clothing. Our housekeepers can also carry out bed changing services.
• Meal preparation: the basic meal preparation services some housekeepers offer may involve helping to plan and prepare healthy meals for you and your family.
• Organisation: housekeepers can create calm, clutter-free spaces by organising cupboards, shelves and wardrobes, and managing daily tidiness around the house. This can be tailored to your home’s specific needs.
• Pet care: many housekeepers are experienced in caring for pets, including feeding, walking dogs, and keeping pet areas clean. If you require help with horse grooming or more specialist tasks, you can speak to us about finding a housekeeper groom for your household.
• Errands and extra tasks: we can incorporate light errands such as collecting dry cleaning, shopping for cleaning products, or handling other regular domestic duties. We’re happy to discuss these during the initial consultation.

We will match you with a domestic cleaner or housekeeper who meets your cleaning requirements, schedule and expectations. Whether you need someone for a few hours a week or a full-time, live-in professional, Nannies Matter can find you the right person for the job.

What is a Nanny Housekeeper?

While a housekeeper supports your household’s cleaning needs, a nanny housekeeper offers a combined service that includes childcare. These professionals handle a blend of housekeeping duties and childcare tasks, such as educational play, preparing meals, cleaning and supporting children’s routines.

Some families benefit from hiring a nanny housekeeper when their schedules demand extra support across all aspects of home and family life. Whether it’s helping children with homework, managing laundry and cleaning in one shift, or keeping the home running smoothly during extra hours, this service is designed to be flexible and family-centred.

The role can be adjusted to your family’s specific needs, including the age of your children, your work patterns and the level of support required. If you have pets or live in a home with outdoor space or stables, we can also provide a nanny groom to assist with animal care.

FAQs About Our Housekeeper Services

Are Nannies Matter's housekeepers trained or certified?

At Nannies Matter, we take pride in the professionalism and expertise of our housekeepers. While housekeepers are not required to hold formal certifications, we only place experienced, reliable professionals. We review all references, verify qualifications and interview every candidate. For specialised services such as pet care or meal prep, we confirm relevant training or experience.

Do you conduct background checks on your housekeepers?

Every housekeeper undergoes a comprehensive background screening process, including criminal record checks, employment reference verification, right-to-work checks and a review of any relevant qualifications.

Can I customise the cleaning schedule according to my needs?

During your consultation we’ll discuss how often you want cleaning - daily, weekly, fortnightly - and the length of each visit in hours. Services can include everything from a regular full top-to-bottom house cleaning, to room-specific tasks, and your plan can be adapted at any point. Should your needs change, you can call us at any time, and we can adapt the cleaning schedule to suit.

Can I request a trial or interview with a potential housekeeper?

Interviews are a key part of the selection process for your housekeeper, and trial shifts can help you to understand how a housekeeper works and whether they are the right fit for you in practical terms. We believe it is crucial for both you and the housekeeper to feel comfortable and confident in the working relationship.

An interview is an excellent opportunity for you to ask detailed questions about the housekeeper's experience, qualifications and approach to housekeeping. It also allows the housekeeper to understand your expectations and the specific needs of your household. Depending on your preference, interviews can be conducted in-person or virtually.

If you and a potential housekeeper feel like a good match after the interview, we can arrange a trial shift. This typically involves the housekeeper working for you for a short period, allowing both of you to evaluate the fit before making a long-term commitment. During and after the trial period, we encourage open communication and feedback. This makes sure that any adjustments to tasks, schedules or methods can be made early on, to set the foundation for a successful working relationship.

How much does a housekeeper cost?

The cost of a housekeeper depends on the number of hours per week you require, the duties involved and the experience level of the professional. We’ll provide a clear breakdown of costs after our initial consultation.

Do your housekeepers do dishes and clean the sink?

Kitchen duties such as wiping down surfaces, washing dishes, cleaning the sink and even tidying appliance areas like the oven or fridge are commonly requested and can be included in your service plan.
