3- Ironing
The daytime helper sorts dirty laundry by colors and puts it in the washing machine. If there are clothes that need drying, they dry them in the dryer. If there is no dryer, they hang the laundry on a clothesline. They then take care of the ironing tasks. Ironing is one of the most time-consuming tasks at home. In fact, some families may want to hire a daytime helper just for ironing and sweeping/mopping.
4- Meal Preparation
If the family desires, the daytime helper assists with meal preparation or cooks meals. They help with every stage, from cooking daily meals to setting the table. Additionally, after the meal, they tidy up and clean the kitchen or set the table before their shift ends.
5- Grocery Shopping
Some families may assign the task of purchasing cleaning and grocery items to the daytime helper. In addition, they write the missing items on the shopping list as supplies run out.
6- Guest Service
Among the tasks of a daytime helper is assisting the host with guest hosting, if requested. Before guests arrive, they help prepare the treats the host will serve. They serve treats, tea, and coffee to the guests. If a meal is to be served, they set the table. This allows the hosts to focus more comfortably on their guests.
7- Child Care
Which working parent can say no to having their children fed with a home-cooked meal when they return from school and to someone looking after them?
If requested by the family, the daytime female helper also assists with childcare. For example, they prepare meals for the children coming home from school, help them take a nap if necessary, or play with them. As a result, the children are looked after, and you won’t have to worry about them while you're at work. If you need the helper to also care for children, be sure to mention this during the interview.
8- Elderly Care
The daytime helper also provides support with the care of elderly individuals in families where elderly people are present.
9- Pet Care
If you have a pet, the helper will assist with its daily needs. However, this issue should also be discussed in advance, and you should check if the helper has allergies, such as to cats.
In conclusion, a daytime house assistant is the right-hand of the family.
The office cleaning staff helps maintain hygiene by cleaning the workplace. They clean areas such as desks, common areas, restrooms, and the kitchen. While doing this, they make sure not to disturb desk arrangements or touch power outlets and electrical cords. They also serve tea and coffee to meet the beverage needs of employees and managers.
Office cleaning-service staff and daytime house assistants usually work five days a week, so their payments are generally made on a monthly basis.
