How the Placement Process Works
1. Tell Us What You Need
We start with a short consultation to understand your household, lifestyle, schedule and expectations. You can also complete our online form with specific duties, age preferences, and salary range.
2. We Shortlist Candidates
Our team selects a small group of candidates who match your requirements. All have experience in domestic work and have passed our internal screening process.
3. Interview and Trial
You can interview candidates in person or remotely. We also arrange trial days on request, giving you confidence before making a long-term commitment.
4. Placement and Support
Once you have selected a candidate, we assist with the formal placement and provide follow-up support to ensure both parties are happy.

Frequently Asked Questions
