Helpful Tips Before Hiring a Maid

Don’t narrow your filter too much

Keep your search open to explore more profiles. Only use filter for the most important requirements.

If a maid doesn’t fit, let her go

Don’t worry, with your platform subscription you still have one month to search for another candidate.

Take your time

Leave enough gap to carefully choose the right maid — the process usually takes at least 50 days. Use this time to do interviews, ask about experience, and confirm all requirements before hiring.

Wait for a response, but not too long

Give the maid some time to reply. If she doesn’t respond within two days, contact us and we’ll help you connect with her.
