Getting Started
How homemaker services works
- 01
Walk through the home
We look at the household together and identify what's become difficult, and what you'd rather keep doing yourself.
- 02
Agree on the task list
We set a clear, written list of tasks and a schedule, so expectations are the same on both sides.
- 03
Keep it running
Staff come on the agreed days and keep the essentials handled, adjusting the list as circumstances change.
