Before You Start Looking

  • Decide on the primary role: housekeeping, childcare, eldercare, or mixed
  • List out your household's daily routine and peak-demand hours
  • Confirm you have suitable accommodation for the helper
  • Decide your preferred nationality and language requirements
  • Set a realistic budget including levy, insurance, food, and transport
  • Decide if you need a fresh hire or a transfer helper
  • Check if any household members have allergies or dietary requirements
  • Choose an agency that works around your schedule — everything handled at your home or remotely, no office visit needed
