Housekeeping work in London
London is the largest private household employment market in the UK. Thousands of families across the capital hire housekeepers, cleaners, ironing help, cooks and live-in household staff every year, from one morning a week in a Hackney flat to full-time positions in Kensington and Chelsea family homes.
Domestyca connects those families directly with professionals who want the work. You publish a profile once and stay visible to families searching in your part of London. When someone likes what they see, they message you, and you agree the schedule and the rate between you.
What London families are looking for
Most requests are regular weekly cleaning and general housekeeping. Beyond that, families frequently ask for ironing and laundry, deep cleaning, cooking, help with shopping and errands, pet care, and household management for busy professional couples. Experience with high-end homes, quality finishes and discretion is valued in central London, while reliability and flexible hours matter most in the outer boroughs.
Working legally in the UK
You must have the right to work in the UK. Many housekeepers in London work as self-employed professionals and register with HMRC, while others are directly employed by a family with a payslip and pension contributions. Domestyca does not employ you and does not handle payroll, so agree the arrangement clearly with each family before you start.
