Natasha Harding
Director
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.
Anna
Quality Manager
Born and raised in Palmerston North, I feel lucky to work in such a positive environment with an incredible team of women. When you truly enjoy what you do, getting out of bed each morning is that much easier!
I stepped into the role of Quality Manager in 2022, and I take great pride in supporting our team to uphold the high standards our clients expect and deserve. I also play an important role in onboarding new team members, guiding them through our cleaning methods, systems, and health and safety practices to ensure they feel confident and capable from day one.
Outside of work, you’ll find me in the garden or enjoying time with my whānau and friends — both bring me a lot of joy and keep me grounded.
