Job Description

We are an American family that has been living in Singapore for over 14 years, and we are looking for a dedicated Domestic Helper to join our household. We have two wonderful children, an 11-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl, and we plan to remain in Singapore for at least another 10 years. Ideally, we would love to find someone who can stay with us for the long term.

Responsibilities:

Cleaning:

  • Manage the cleaning and organization of our home independently.
  • We appreciate a tidy environment, but knowing where to find things is equally important.
  • As we have pets, daily sweeping and mopping are essential, along with a rotation of deeper cleaning tasks throughout the week.

Cooking:

  • Prepare meals for the kids, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner (they may enjoy cooking with you occasionally).
  • Meals should be balanced, incorporating both protein and vegetables.
  • We enjoy having some meals cooked in advance (American dishes) that can be frozen.
  • As we follow a gluten-free diet, you will need to complete an online course and attend training classes on gluten-free cooking.

Pet Care:

  • We have two cats, two dogs, two fish aquariums, and one hamster (no birds).
  • The kids typically assist with cleaning up after the cats and dogs.
  • One of our dogs is too old for walks; the other can take walks, but it's not mandatory.
  • Weekly bathing of the dogs and maintenance of the fish tanks are also required.
  • During holidays, you will be responsible for feeding and caring for all pets.

Laundry:

  • Handle all laundry duties, including washing, hang-drying, and putting away clothes in the bedrooms.
  • We do not have many dry-cleaning items or fancy clothes.
  • Ironing may be needed several times a week.

Shopping:

  • We do some online shopping for heavy or bulky items and staples.
  • Most weekly grocery shopping is done at the mall, which is just 300 meters away.
  • You will be provided with a credit card for shopping expenses.

Gardening:

  • Care for the garden and regularly clean up dead leaves from trees.
  • Occasionally trim trees and bushes as needed.
  • Mow the grass twice a week.

Other Responsibilities:

  • We require someone who can be available during Chinese New Year, early April, July/August, October, Christmas, and various school holidays as we travel.
  • Home leave can be scheduled during March, May, August, or September.
  • Effective communication is crucial. We encourage you to share your needs, address any household issues, and provide updates on how things are going.

Benefits:

  • You will have your own room, sharing a bathroom with our daughter (13 years old), which includes air conditioning, a TV, and a refrigerator.
  • We will cover travel expenses via an EZLink card.
  • We will also cover mobile phone expenses.
  • All food and toiletries will be provided.
  • Salary will be commensurate with experience.

We are excited to welcome a warm, enthusiastic individual into our family who can help us create a nurturing and joyful home environment!
