WHAT MARET LANE IS
Not a cleaner.
Not a PA.
A retained household manager.
Most households don't need more help with one thing. They need someone to hold the whole rhythm of the week - the laundry, the reset, the groceries, the small returns and requests that build up between Monday and Friday.
Maret Lane is a profession in its own right. Retained, not ad-hoc. Same person, every week. A trained household manager who learns how your home runs and quietly keeps it running, so you stop thinking about it.
WHO IT'S FOR
For the households where the laundry is winning.
Our clients are busy professional households in the Fremantle and surrounding coastal areas. Often both partners are working long weeks. There are usually young kids. There is often already a cleaner.
What's missing is the layer above the cleaning - the person who folds the washing before it turns into a pile, who notices the groceries are low, who waits in for the tradie, who makes sure the week doesn't run you instead of the other way around.
If that layer has been landing on you, and you're ready for it to land on someone else, I'd love to hear from you.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps. No pitch.
01
A CONVERSATION
A short call to see
if it fits
We start with a phone call. You tell me what's going on in your home and what would make the biggest difference. I listen, ask some questions, and we decide together whether Maret Lane is the right fit. No pitch and no pressure.
02
A CADENCE
A weekly rhythm, set to your home
If we're a fit, we set a weekly rhythm. Typically two visits a week, around 2.5 hours each, on set days that work for your household. The same person every week - so I learn how your home runs and keep it running with you.
03
HOME HANDLED
The week starts running differently
From week one, things start to settle. The laundry stays on top of itself. The kitchen gets reset. The small errands get absorbed. After a month, you stop thinking about the things that used to eat your weekends - which is really the whole point.
BEHIND MARET LANE
I'm Astrid.
I run Maret Lane.
Before this, I spent seven years in hospitality and a few more years in academic research. Now I'm raising two small children and building Maret Lane - the service I wanted for myself, and for the households I saw around me, that didn't seem to exist yet.
I can only take on so many families at a time - when I'm full, I'll keep a waiting list and get back in touch when a spot opens up.
