Maid by Mum, made for you
There are times in life when everyone needs a helping hand. Ever feel like you’re too busy, too tired, too sick…it’s all too much?
What you really want is for someone to come and take care of it for you. To take care of you. To ease the pressure so you can find the time to sit down with a cup of tea and take a big deep breath…
That’s the heart of the Maid by Mum business. Because we think there’s no one who can take care of you like a good mum.
If you need to ease the pressure: call us. Our aim is to take the jobs off your hands that are getting in the way of you living your best life. We can come to your home, create a gift service for someone you love, or set up regular home care to support someone who needs it.
It might be as simple as a couple of loads of laundry. It could be as complex as regular housekeeping and in-home care. However we help, we aim for the result to be the same.
Happy home, happy family, happy you.
Life’s always better with Maid by Mum in it.
Our Team
April
Hello, I’m April, owner and founder of Maid by Mum.
I became a mother for the first time in 2020 (and again in 2021!) and while this has been the most beautiful and rewarding experience of my life, it has also been at times exhausting and trying to find enough hours in the day to meet all of life’s pressures can often feel impossible.
Maid by Mum was born from a desire to provide support to busy families of all shapes and sizes so that they can focus on what matters most. We provide cleaning, laundry and housekeeping services for our clients to ease the pressure and to make each day a little easier. My other dream is to be able to provide work opportunities for women who wish to work around their family commitments. No two days at Maid are ever the same and watching the business grow and flourish is another of my proudest achievements.
When I am not running Maid I love to spend my free time with my husband and our two young daughters. All 3 of them are the joy of my life and everything that I do is for them. I am also incredibly blessed to have my parents living close by and spending time with them is another of my most favourite things to do.
Jade
Kia Ora, my name is Jade. I became a step mum to two gorgeous children in 2022. As many mums, I wish there were more hours in a day to get household stuff done! Well now, Maid by Mum is a movement of mums helping mums who feel the same way as us. I am beyond happy being able to help mums around their homes knowing it is making a difference in their day to day lives. This means they can worry less about household work and more on spending time with their little ones.
I was born and raised in Hawkes Bay, I recently returned after my partner and I relocated back here after spending a few years in the big city, Wellington. Now that we have settled down when I am not at work in your homes you can find me baking, going on adventures, spending time with our little family, outside doing gardens, watering my 100 plants, or cleaning my own home (how ironic).
With this I am part time studying to finish my degree in veterinary nursing. Animals are my passion, even more being able to make a difference in their lives. I have two cats of my own, Basil who is 16 weeks she’s a Tortie and Sage is my first born he is 2 and very much like his mumma.
Working along side April and watching Maid by Mum flourish has been a great experience and I am so beyond proud of her. I feel honoured to be able to help mums in their day to day lives as I know how it feels to be overwhelmed sometimes. Which is why I am here! I look forward to cleaning your homes and giving your pets some loving!
Eva
I’m Eva, and Aprils mum! Having spent 47 years working as a theatre nurse in various countries around the world I was happily retired and hoping to stay that way until April started Maid by Mum! Suddenly my retirement days spent knitting and in the garden with my husband took on a whole new look and feel, and I am now firmly “one of the crew!” Most weeks I am picked up in Aprils bright green van and we head off to various beautiful homes around Hawke’s Bay together. I wouldn’t change it for anything, we have so much fun and I love to know that I am helping my daughter to build her business and I am so proud of her.
When I am not busy in Maid, I can be found cooking or baking, reading, knitting, gardening and helping with April and Dales two little girls.
I think I must be one of the busiest retired nurses that I know!
