With the rise in the cost of living, many households are looking to supplement their income. Here are 5 Service based businesses Owned by Women in Australia who engage senior workers.  Forget paying hefty franchise fees of $20,000 or more – all these Aussie companies are free to join and have benefits such as training and insurance cover.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1 House Sitting and Pet Care – <\/strong>national company <\/strong>PetCloud<\/a> was created by Australian female founder, Deb Webber. With so many of us travelling, there is high demand for house and pet sitting.  Tasks include food and water top up, litter box cleaning, handling emergency situations, taking pets to the Vet. Offer minding in your own home or in the pet\u2019s home.  A police check is $53. Training is free, insurance is provided.  Baby boomers are making $400 per week on average doing pet sitting through PetCloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2 Nannying and Babysitting<\/strong> – Kiddo App<\/a> was created by Australian Female Founder, Mother of two, Rebecca Dredge.  It provides an opportunity for parents to connect with verified local carers for their children – Babysitting, Nannying or NDIS care for kids.  Kiddo is available in major capital cities and holiday destinations. It costs less than $10 for your Working with children check and Kiddo carers are making up to $300 a week with a few nights babysitting on the side. There is after school care and Grandma roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3 Washing and Ironing<\/strong> – <\/strong>A<\/a>bsolute Domestics<\/a> was founded by Australian Female Founder, Joy Vess and the service helps busy parents keep on top of their washing pile. They are always looking for reliable people who don\u2019t mind washing & ironing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4 Organising and Decluttering<\/strong> – Get You Organised<\/a> and Get You Housekeeping<\/a> is a home housekeeping service operating in Brisbane and Sydney (opening in Melbourne 2023), founded by Natalie Haddock in 2011. Housekeepers are trained, insured, and work on a regular schedule each week (usually between 10 -25 hours).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tasks housekeepers complete include cleaning, tidying, laundry, changing linen, putting away groceries, and meal preparation.\u00a0 Over the past 12 years, their housekeeping team has grown to over 100 employees. We pride ourselves on offering flexible, stable income to our housekeepers with clients who are local to them. The minimum housekeeping\u00a0is 4 hours, with the rate of pay varying from $31-35 per hour plus superannuation (the more hours you work the higher the hourly rate). There are no fees to pay to join. All insurances are paid by GYH, housekeepers do not bring products or equipment, are paid on a weekly basis, and they are also paid to complete onboarding training (online & in-person).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 Cooking<\/strong> – I Hate Cooking<\/a> is a cooking service company founded by Bek Daley. Offering a personal chef type service but without the need for cheffy qualifications. After all, how many people are great home cooks? We take our appliances (we use a Thermomix) to the customers home and prepare the meals from a curated menu. Our Head Office takes care of all of the back end stuff like managing payments and sending shopping lists. We will even take care of the shopping  for them, if required. You just need to do the important stuff well – cook!  And if you don\u2019t have a Thermomix (there are payment plans available to assist you in owning or renting one from $25\/week), we also offer an in-home cooking program for NDIS participants, to help them gain confidence in the kitchen. Cooks make anywhere between $400 and $4000 a month. It\u2019s all down to your availability, which you have complete control over. Some people work one day a week, and others work a full week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
