How Much Does It Cost to Host a House Manager?

MAA house managers (Helpers) receive free board and lodging in your home as a fully integrated family member if a stay-in/full time. In addition, a customary amount of weekly pocket money — perceived as transport for stay-out/part-time arrangements — varies between Ksh.500 and Ksh.1000 (approximate figures), with distance factored in during matching. Detailed information on these and other costs can be found in our subscription plans.

Who is a Mom's Assistant House Manager?

A Mom's Assistant is a young person between the ages of 18 and 30 who joins a family in need of assistance for a defined period of time.

As an assistant, you take on a role as a member of the family and help your host family with childcare, housework, gatekeeping, caregiving, or any other assistive role to the host family. In return, you receive accommodation for stay-in or pocket money facilitation for stay-out/part-time arrangements.
