If you could afford to employ one full time staffers who would it be? Gardener, pool boy, administrator, butler etc.

Personal Polynesian. Just a massive dude that hangs out and occasionally helps out with things.

Japanese house boy. No contest.

still unpacking ๐Ÿ˜ซ

Haha. Let me guess? It's their job to protect the birds water dish and to feel free to pistol whip anyone that gets too close?

I reckon a chef (who also cleans the kitchen once they're done for the day). Delicious meals prepared for me and time saved cooking / cleaning up afterwards would transform my life.

[โ€“] just_kitten@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A cleaner, absolutely hands down. Especially the bathroom. Everything else I can somehow handle but the #1 very first kind of help I would get if I had money is a cleaner. Then maybe an admin person (even just to make phone calls, I hate phone calls). Then maaaaybe a cook but I would be very very picky about what they make and how.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

I also want a personal assistant and it was a close toss up between that and a cleaner

but I'm thinking with a full time cleaner my mind and time would be freer to do my own admin and I don't care how awkward I am and how long things would take as I wouldn't be under any pressure from other tasks

Housekeeper. No contest.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago

full time cleaner and laundry , including cat care

[โ€“] anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can I have one great all-rounder, to do bits of everything?

Otherwise, definitely personal chef

Ummm.....

How much you paying? I might be interested.

[โ€“] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm going to need to see your credentials before we get into things like "wages" and "salary"

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yeah, yeah I've got all that, I need to know if you'll be home while I bust these ghosts and is there a decent pizza shop near by?

[โ€“] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's a dominos, and I guess it depends on the ghost ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ seeing as you're a serious applicant; salary is between $33,000 and 144,000 p.a

[โ€“] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago

dog walker atm. Would just love them to get some more walks!

[โ€“] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've thought about a kitchen hand. They prepare. I cook. They clean up.
