Help for life’s busy moments.

Lighten Life offers practical support in your home.

Whether you’re a new mum or dad needing a breather, a busy parent juggling it all, or an older person needing a hand with the little things, we’re here to help.

No judgment. No fuss. Just genuine support that makes life easier.

What we do

We lighten life, one small task at a time.

We’re not a cleaner. We’re not a carer. We’re something in between.

Here’s what we can help with:

Holding baby while mum showers, sleeps, eats or has time to herself
Folding laundry, dishes, light vacuuming, tidying
Grocery pick-up or post office errands
Light household tasks (changing light bulbs, unpacking groceries)
Gentle company and conversation

What we don’t do:

Deep cleaning (e.g. scrubbing showers)
Personal or medical care
Parenting advice or coaching

Who it’s for

New Parents
Peace of mind and practical help during one of life’s most exhausting transitions. A calm presence and a helping hand — no advice, no judgment, just genuine care.

The woman has blonde hair, glasses, and wears a white off-the-shoulder top, while the boy, with light brown hair, is laughing and hugging her. The room is decorated with a framed quote, shelves with books and plants, and a side table with a lantern, potted plant, and a mug.

Busy Parents
Life’s full — school runs, sports, work, dinners, chaos. We help you reclaim a little breathing space. Whether it’s folding washing, tidying up before guests arrive, or prepping school bags for the next day, we step in so you can focus on what matters most.

Older People
A friendly face and a reliable helper for those who just need a bit of support with the everyday things.

About us

Hi, I’m Hana.

I started Lighten Life because I know how overwhelming the everyday can feel - especially when you’re juggling a baby, a busy job, children, or caring for older loved ones.

Sometimes all you need is someone kind, capable, and judgment-free to show up and help.

That’s where I come in.

My goal is to make your home feel lighter, calmer, and more manageable, whether you’re a new mum, a busy parent, or an older adult wanting to stay comfortable at home.
