Job Description

We are a warm Norwegian/Canadian family with 3 kids (ages 6, 4, and 1) and a very sweet dog.

We are hiring a positive and efficient helper to join our household in Repulse Bay. We are looking for a live-in helper to work alongside 2 friendly and experienced co-workers. We like to have three helpers so that nobody is overloaded. Both parents work with flexible schedules, but we are hands on with our kids and our dog.

Key responsibilities:

  • Childcare: mainly taking care of our cuddly baby girl and helping with our older two boys (a co-worker is mainly focused on the boys)- keeping the kids safe, engaged and happy! Bringing baby to the beach, playgroup, keeping her active at home, organizing playdates, etc.
  • Household work: sharing household duties with other helpers like cleaning the home (sweeping/mopping, vacuuming), laundry, ironing, keeping the home organized
  • Pet care: sharing responsibilities with coworkers to walk our dog, feed her, groom her and play with her
  • Cooking: supporting with preparing meals for the kids, feeding the kids, tidying up etc. Maybe cooking on the co-worker's day off.

All of these responsibilities are shared across coworkers, with a clear task split in our home so that the work division feels fair.

Who we're looking for:

  • ✅ Physically fit and able to work in a home with several floors and with active children
  • ✅ Works efficiently (the coworkers are very competent and efficient so we need somebody who will bring a similar level of professionalism)
  • ✅ Feels positive about working with coworkers, and always treats others with kindness and respect
  • ✅ Loves being with young children and experienced with babies
  • ✅ Patient and with positive energy
  • ✅ Responsible and proactive
  • ✅ Strong spoken English

Other requirements:

  • Physically in Hong Kong to interview in person
  • Has a strong reference from past employer
  • Is willing to work on statutory holidays on a rotation schedule with coworkers (for extra pay), always to be discussed
  • Can sometimes be flexible about which day off to take so that we can balance everybody's preferred days off; to be discussed! (e.g. once every 1-2 months taking a different day off)
  • *** If you are able to drive, we can consider this with a higher salary ***

Our offer:

  • A kind and respectful home with reasonable employers
  • Live-in; you would share a large room with one of the co-workers
  • Salary $7000/month
  • Food allowance $1500/month
  • Annual paid trip home

If you are interested, please let me know as you apply:

  1. What is your past experience working with young children?
  2. Short summary of your past work experiences
  3. Your contract status and available start date
  4. Reference(s) from previous employer

Thank you :)

We are flexible about start date and could give an offer as soon as tomorrow. We are just looking for the right candidate.
