We teach all the necessary skills required in Home Management, and our Cookery and Baking classes make for an interesting culinary experience.

We are introducing a new course in 2012 entitled: Super Childminding. This course will be given by Marian Bailey who has a degree in psychology and is a qualified teacher. Click here to read more about the course.

Testimonials
Dear Super Domestics
I love my job and I am so happy. I love Emily, Amy and Edward like they are my own children and can't wait to watch them grow up as they get big. I liked the courses that I went on especially the Home Management - I learnt lots of new things and my employer noticed when the clothes were properly packed away in the cupboards for example. I also like helping my employer have parties at home - I set the table properly, I help serve the food and I help clear the table. I hope that I can go on the cooking course soon... I am very happy.

Dear Super Domestics
During the course of the past 13 years, two of my domestic helpers have attended numerous cooking and baking courses at Super Domestics with Sandy Green. They both became highly proficient in the kitchen and were able to cook and bake for my family on a completely independent basis after attending Sandy’s courses. The courses are extremely well structured with a great variety of recipes which are very easy to follow, nutritious and most importantly, tasty and delicious. Sandy herself is an ex-teacher with many years of experience in the teaching field. I have personally observed a number of Sandy’s classes and have found that she has an excellent rapport with her students, she is positive, patient and has a genuine desire to pass on her extensive knowledge. One is able to choose from a wide variety of courses at Super Domestics which include training in Home Management, Conversational English, Mending and of course, Cooking and Baking. Sandy is personally involved with the teaching of each course, which is of great benefit to her students. I would highly recommend that you consider sending your domestic helper and/or houseman to one or more of Sandy’s courses – you will be more than delighted with the result! Gail Hochreiter
