Keeping House once referred to the full scope of running a home—cleaning, cooking, budgeting, and general upkeep. The term emerged in the 19th century and was tied to women’s domestic roles, though today it applies to everyone in a household.

A Local, Trusted Helping Hand

Hi, I’m Ange, a long‑time local here in the Tasman region, and the person behind Keeping House. I’ve lived in this community for many years and understand the value of reliable, practical support at home. Our team live locally, are fully Police‑checked, and can provide personal references, giving you confidence and peace of mind.

A Small, Personal Service

When you engage Keeping House, you get the same person— every visit. We don’t rotate workers, and we keep our client list intentionally small so we can offer steady, dependable support. This means you always know who is coming into your home and what to expect. We work alongside you at home or can do it all for you.

Practical Help for Everyday Living

Our service focuses on the day‑to‑day tasks that keep a home comfortable and manageable. This includes:

• light housekeeping
• washing dishes and wiping benches
• dusting, basic vacuuming and floor washing
• stripping and making beds
• laundry and ironing
• small garden tidy‑ups and weed‑pulling
• money management (budgeting, cash flow)

These are the practical jobs that help your home run smoothly without the need for a full cleaning agency, although we can happily recommend one for you.

Experienced in the Garden

Alongside housekeeping, we’ve managed our own gardens for many years. We understand plants, seasonal care, and the small, regular tasks that keep a garden healthy. For smaller gardens, we can tidy, weed, and bag green waste for you to put out when it suits.

Friendly, Respectful, and Professional

Our approach is warm and easy-going, but with a clear professional boundary. We’re here to help with practical tasks, ensuring our service remains focused, reliable, and respectful of your time and ours.

Supporting You to Stay Comfortable at Home

Whether you need a little extra help each week, fortnight, or occasional support to stay on top of things, Keeping House offers a simple, trustworthy way to keep your home in good order.
