StudeeHelpers
About us

Household help, done properly

We are starting small and deliberately: one service, a handful of Gauteng suburbs, and a helper community we know by name.

Why we exist

Informal work, made dependable for both sides

Domestic work in South Africa is often informal, poorly paid and unreliable for households and helpers alike. StudeeHelpers puts a proper structure around it: verified profiles, published hourly rates, tracked bookings and payment that lands on time.

The gap between what you pay and what a helper earns funds travel support, verification, payment handling, replacement cover, reserves and day-to-day operations — and it still leaves helpers meaningfully above the legal minimum.

What we hold ourselves to

Vetted, never anonymous

Every helper is identity-checked, interviewed and reviewed before a single booking. Profile photos are approved by our team.

Fair pay, clear prices

Rates are published upfront in Rand. Our prices sit above informal rates on purpose so helpers earn meaningfully more than the legal floor.

Dignity in the work

Travel support, replacement cover and a real support line. Household work is professional work and we treat it that way.

Local, suburb by suburb

We only open a suburb once enough approved helpers can fill bookings there reliably. Slow beats overpromising.

Where we are today

Cleaning is live in these Gauteng areas. We add a suburb only when enough approved helpers can cover it.

What comes next

Now

Home cleaning, live

Hourly cleaning across selected Gauteng suburbs, with tracked bookings and secure payment.

Next

Cape Town and eThekwini follow the same rule: enough approved helpers first, then we open.
