Accommodation:

A live-in Housekeeper would need to be given her own private room.  This can vary from client to client depending on their home(s).  In the most simple version, our clients provide the housekeeper with her own private bedroom in the main residence. This would normally consist of a double bed, furniture, TV, wifi.  This can include either an ensuite or a bathroom.  More often than not, our clients dedicate a ‘level’ of the house to the housekeeper, be it a basement flat area or attic conversion which would then act as a bedroom/private bathroom.  Some of our clients provide an entire ‘apartment’ to the housekeeper as part of the main residence, giving the Housekeeper a bedroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom.  Clients with more space often try to accommodate the Housekeeper in ‘annex’ or outbuilding dwellings which can range from studio apartments through to 2 bedroom apartments.

Car:

If you require the Housekeeper to drive, then most clients provide the nanny with access to the family cars, or indeed her own dedicated car to drive for errands, shopping etc.

Additional Package:

Most of our clients are very generous with their Helpers and offer additional perks to the live in a package.  This can include mobile phone allowance, gym membership, health insurance, fuel for days off, food, bonuses etc, but it just depends on the nature of the salary offered and how you wish to attract the right candidates to the role.
