Tips to Select the Right Domestic Helper

Age

Most employers are free to choose helpers between the ages of 21 and 44. There are some considerations that you should think about before choosing a helper. For example, if you have small kids, you may need someone who is between 30 and 40 years old and has the experience and energy to take care of children. If you have teenages, you may need a younger helper in her 20s who can communicate with them. If you have the elderly at home, they may appreciate the sympathy of a mature helper in her 40s.

Remember, the age of your helper can contribute greatly to your family’s dynamics.

Background

Before choosing a helper, do remember to consider your potential helper’s background information. It’s good to align with the helper on the expectations for her and also your employer’s family, so that you are both on the same page. A good thing to pay attention to is whether her family situation really requires her to work in Malaysia. This will become the factor that governs her work attitude and sense of responsibility.

Remember, the age of your helper can contribute greatly to your family’s dynamics.

Experience Level

Experience is a vital point when choosing a potential helper. Newer helpers are generally found to be more loyal and less demanding, but lack the experience which will require a bit more time in terms of training and grooming. The more experienced helpers generally pick up work faster, smarter and show greater initiative, but may have accumulated habits, both good and bad throughout their years of working. As an employer, it’s good to think about the level of experience you would prefer before choosing a helper.

Remember, the age of your helper can contribute greatly to your family’s dynamics.

Cultural Differences

Depending on which country you choose your helper from, you are bound to run into your helpers’ own cultural, religious, and social practices. Understanding each of your helpers’ distinctive lifestyles and choosing someone who can match your lifestyle becomes important. For example, some Indonesian helpers do not eat or even come into contact with pork due to religious reasons, so it’s good to be mindful of helpers and their customs.

Remember, the age of your helper can contribute greatly to your family’s dynamics.
