Natasha Harding
Director
Hi my name is Natasha. My passion for the cleaning industry runs deep it’s what drives me to build a service that’s not only professional and reliable but also deeply personal. At Hire a Housewife, I’m proud to lead a team of hardworking, kind, and detail-focused professionals we call our Executive Housewives. Together, we’ve created a supportive, positive team culture that makes our work more than just a job it’s a shared purpose.
My role within the business now is focused on strategic growth, marketing, and system development. I work behind the scenes to ensure that every part of the client experience from the first inquiry to the final result runs smoothly and consistently. I believe that great systems build great service, and I'm always looking for ways to improve how we operate and deliver value to our clients.
Having lived and worked in the Manawatū region for many years, I’m genuinely passionate about the community we serve. It’s incredibly rewarding to see how our work supports not just homes, but people giving them more time, less stress, and a cleaner, calmer space to enjoy.
When I'm not focused on the business, I treasure spending time with my children and my husband, Pete, who is a local agricultural pilot. Life is full but I feel very lucky to do what I love, with a team I trust, and in a region that continues to inspire and support us.

Back in South Africa, I was a horse trainer for 5 years. So, it is fantastic to have a job that keeps me active for the day when I do get back into horse riding which is my biggest passion!

When I’m not spending time with my dogs, I like to think of myself as a laid-back person, whether it’s relaxing with friends, exploring nature, or just spending a quiet evening at home. I have been in the cleaning industry for a few years now, and am enjoying my time at Hire A Housewife.

I feel am helping people out each clean whether it is a weekly, fortnightly, monthly or a one off clean service and makes me smile to think our clients arrive home and see the transformation we bring. I love animals and have two fur babies Marley my black German shepherd and Belle a silver tabby so love to meet clients fur babies too and understand they are precious and we may need to keep them safe and secure inside whilst cleaning. I look forward to helping clients out as much as possible to clean their homes for them so they can relax a little, we all deserve that don’t we
