Trustworthy hardworker to help a single dad maintain a home while he raises his 4 year old princess

Part-Time Home Helper / House Assistant – Mississauga Lakeshore/Cawthra Hi I’m a busy Realtor and a single dad with shared custody of my daughter. I’m looking for someone reliable, trustworthy, and easygoing to help me manage day-to-day household tasks—starting part-time at my new home in Mississauga (Cawthra Lakeshore). Having a driver's license is a bonus. This is a trial for the next month, with potential for a long-term part-time role. Tasks may include: • Light cleaning and tidying • Laundry and folding • Organizing closets and storage • Occasional meal prep or cooking (if you’re comfortable) • Running errands (once settled) • Airbnb turnover cleaning (I have 2 units). • Occasional car cleaning between renters I want you to feel welcome—make yourself at home, grab a bite, and get comfortable while you’re here. For now, no childcare is required, but in the future, I may ask for occasional help with my daughter. Ideal for someone who: • Enjoys creating calm, organized spaces • Is flexible, dependable, and proactive • Lives nearby or is comfortable commuting to both locations • Is open to evolving needs as I transition from condo to house life If this sounds like a fit, I’d love to connect. ⸻
