Live-out housekeepers who come in, get the job done, and keep your home in excellent shape.

Hire Live-out Housekeeper Apply as Candidate

A live-out housekeeper suits families who want professional household help during set hours without the live-in arrangement. They arrive, get everything done, and head home — clean boundaries that work well for both sides.

Our live-out housekeepers cover everything from daily cleaning and laundry to grocery shopping, cooking light meals, and managing tradespeople. Many work Monday to Friday with occasional flexibility for events or guests.

Live-out positions are popular in London, where many housekeepers prefer to maintain their own home nearby. It also works well for families who value their privacy in the evenings and at weekends.

Key Responsibilities

Scheduled household cleaning and maintenance

Laundry and clothing care services

Organization and decluttering

Shopping and errand services

Light meal preparation when arranged

Guest preparation and special event cleaning

It depends on your household. Some families want someone every day, others find three days a week covers it. We'll help you figure out the right frequency based on your home's size, the number of people living there, and your standards.

Many can, yes. Early starts, evening finishes, the occasional weekend — it depends on the individual and the arrangement. We discuss flexibility during the matching process so there are no misunderstandings.

Either way works. Some families provide everything — products, equipment, the lot. Others prefer the housekeeper to bring their own. It's usually agreed at the start and written into the arrangement.

Same as any placement — background checks, reference verification, right-to-work confirmation. We can also arrange appropriate insurance. Vetting standards don't change based on whether someone lives in or out.

Hourly rates run from about £12 to £20, with full-time annual salaries equivalent to £22,000 to £38,000. Part-time is very common and priced accordingly. London rates are at the higher end.

We assess your household size, cleaning standards, and scheduling needs, then present candidates who live within practical commuting distance and have availability matching your preferred schedule. Trial days help confirm the right fit.

Live-out arrangements work well for most London properties, particularly apartments and smaller houses where dedicated staff accommodation isn't available. They're also ideal for families who prefer privacy outside working hours while maintaining professional household standards.
