Part-Time Housekeeper/Household Assistant

Location: Houston, TX (Acres Home area)

Schedule: Part-time (1 consistent full day per week optional additional hours)

Compensation: $20–$30/hour (based on experience and fit)

We’re looking for a dependable, detail-oriented Housekeeper & Household Assistant to help keep our home running smoothly.

This role is a mix of housekeeping, organization, and light personal assistant tasks. We’re looking for someone who takes initiative, notices what needs to be done, and takes pride in doing things thoroughly—not just quickly.

Housekeeping & Home Care

• Clean all areas of the home (kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, floors, surfaces)
• Laundry (washing, folding, putting away)
• General tidying and organization
• Maintaining a clean, calm, and functional space

Household Management

• Keep track of supplies and flag when things are running low
• Help maintain organization systems
• Coordinate simple services if needed (ex: scheduling lawn care)

Errands & Assistant Tasks

• Run errands (dry cleaning, package drop-offs, returns, etc.)
• Help with occasional household-related to-dos during your workday
• Optional availability for additional small tasks during the week
  

We’re a young professional couple living in a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath, two-story home in the Acres Home area.

We don’t have kids, but we do have 3 dogs and 1 cat, so being comfortable around pets (and genuinely liking them) is a must.

Our home is not overly formal or high-maintenance—we just want it to feel clean, organized, and taken care of. It’s a relaxed but busy household, and having the right person in this role would make a meaningful difference in our day-to-day lives.

Requirements

• Based in Houston with reliable transportation
• Fluent in English (clear communication is important)
• Prior housekeeping or similar experience preferred
• Comfortable using basic technology (smartphone, simple apps/checklists)

Qualities That Matter Most

• You take initiative without waiting to be told
• You are naturally detail-oriented and thorough
• You follow through and take ownership of your work
• You are trustworthy, consistent, and dependable
• You notice what could be improved and act on it
  

• One consistent full workday per week
• Additional hours available depending on needs and your availability
  

Please send your resume and include these responses in your cover letter:

1. Walk us through a typical week in your life right now. (Work, responsibilities, schedule—help us understand how this role would fit in.)
2. Tell us about your experience with cleaning or managing a home. What types of spaces have you worked in, and what were you responsible for?
3. If you walked into a home for the first time and had a full day to get it in great shape, how would you approach it? (We’re interested in how you think, not a “perfect” answer.)
4. Do you have pets? If so, tell us about them. If not, how do you feel about working in a home with multiple animals?
5. What days are you typically available, and are you open to occasional extra hours or errands during the week?
   

We’re looking for someone we can trust and rely on long-term. If you take pride in your work, notice the details others miss, and like being someone people can depend on—we’d love to hear from you.

Please include the word "ORGANIZED" at the beginning of your response so we know you read the full posting.
