Overview
8:00 AM – Coffee in hand, I’m ready to start my shift. Just as I’m heading out, plans change— I’m reassigned to Mrs. Jones’ for a 1.5-hour Domestic assistance shift. In this role, flexibility is part of what makes the day flow.
9:00 AM – I arrive at Mrs. Jones’ home and review the task list: bed making, vacuuming, mopping, ironing, cooking, and cleaning the kitchen and bathroom. I greet her warmly and confirm where she’d like to start and how she’d like it done, then it’s straight into action—efficient, focused, and ready to tackle every task.
10:30 AM – Her home is sparkling, and her appreciative smile reminds me why I love this work. I hop back in the car for the next clients. Two more domestic assistance shifts follow—each one a mix of cleaning, cooking, and conversation. A fresh and neat home isn’t just nice to look at, it’s a simple way to supporting older Australians to continue living independently.
Final Stop: After two shifts, it’s nearly 3 PM, and I’m off to take Mr. Brouno grocery shopping. He’s got a list, I’ve got the trolley, and together we’re unstoppable. We hunt for specials, swap favourite recipes, and share a few laughs (he’s got some great dad jokes).
4:30 PM – Groceries done, laughs shared. Mr. Kent is home, fridge stocked, and I help carry everything in. We say our goodbyes, and just like that, four clients are smiling—and that makes it all worth it.
I’ve added my notes to the system after each visit; the mobile apps make it easy, so it’s a clear run for me to make my way home
Why This Job is the Best Kind of Adventure
Sure, there’s a lot of Domestic Assistance (a.k.a light cleaning) involved, and yes, it can feel repetitive. But I promise you—no two days are ever the same.
You build real connections. You become part of someone’s story. You help them achieve things that might seem small to us, but mean the world to them. And sometimes, in just a two-hour shift, you make someone’s whole day.
