- All light housekeeping duties. Apart from taking care of the children they have experience doing light housekeeping: cooking for the family or kids keeping the house tidy ironing or vacuuming doing laundry if necessary and cleaning the bathrooms wiping dust etc. Well need help around the house because the children dont occupy all of the working hours but the main cleaning is done by a cleaner.
