 What is a housekeeper?


A housekeeper is a domestic employee responsible for maintaining a clean, organized household or estate. 
Depending on the size of the home and the needs of the homeowner, a housekeeper may either be a live-in, 
live-out, part-time or full-time staff member. Often times, a housekeeper may also have additional non-related 
housekeeping responsibilities, such as cooking, occasional babysitting, and personal assistant duties.  

Again, depending on the needs of the employer, a housekeeper’s responsibilities may include:


  • Mopping, sweeping and vacuuming all floor surfaces

  • Window cleaning (interior and exterior)

  • Cleaning and putting away laundry 

  • Fixing beds, changing linens and organizing bedrooms

  • Pressing or ironing all linens and some clothing

  • Dusting all surfaces and belongings in the home

  • Grocery shopping and cooking meals or assistance with dinner prep (peeling and chopping 
vegetables, etc.)

  • Assist with the set up, cooking, serving and clean up for special events

  • Watering plants and house sitting while employer is away

  • Pet care

  • Putting the trash out

  • Maintenance of china, silver, antiques and other valuables

  • Running errands when needed (drug store, dry cleaners, gift shopping)


A housekeeper may not necessarily have formal training. A typical work week for a housekeeper be as little 
as 15 hours per week to as much as 55 hours per week, depending on the size of the home. A housekeepers 
salary will range anywhere from $13.00 to $20 per hour, plus benefits and paid time off. Such compensation 
is in addition to the living accommodations for live-in housekeepers.
