After initial contact has been established between you and your future employee, there are additional safety precautions which you should observe:
- When selecting the household helper, ask for references and certificates.
- Arrange a "trial session" with your preferred individual during which you are at home while the desired work is performed. This allows you to immediately clear up and any uncertainties and answer any questions.
- Before selecting your household helper, obtain references from former employers.
Try again by changing the criteria for your search. For example, enter a higher value for the maximum distance. Search for a household helper.
