Preparing for School Holidays or Travel? Here’s How to Manage Househelp Smoothly

School holidays are around the corner. Maybe you’re planning to travel.
Or maybe the kids will be home 24/7 — and suddenly, your house gets busier.

If you have a househelp or home staff, now is the time to prepare — not the day before chaos begins.


What Happens Without Planning?

  • The househelp gets overwhelmed with new routines
  • Kids get bored, unmonitored, or misbehave
  • You leave for a trip and forget to assign key tasks
  • The help resigns mid-holiday — and you’re stranded
  • Conflicts arise over unclear expectations

Sound familiar? Many families in Kenya go through this cycle every term break or December.


How to Prepare Your Home Staff Before Holidays or Travel

1. Have a Holiday Briefing Early
Sit down with your househelp:

  • Share your travel plans or schedule
  • Clarify any changes in sleeping arrangements, guests, or extra work
  • Confirm whether they’re going with you or staying behind

2. Adjust Their Routine Accordingly
If kids will be home, plan their meals, supervision times, or entertainment schedule.

3. Offer Time Off If It Fits
Some helpers want to travel too. Discuss this in advance and agree on timelines.

4. Use a Written Task List
Even during holidays, written reminders help avoid forgetfulness and blame.

5. Discuss Pay, Bonuses, or Responsibilities
If work will increase, be fair. A small appreciation can go a long way.
