6 Tips to find a full time helper in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a great place with a fast paced life. Both husband and wife need to work outside to make a comfortable living. This asks for the services of a domestic helper without which taking care of home and children becomes difficult.

If you are living in Hong Kong and looking for a full time helper, here are some tips for you:

1) Hiring a full-time domestic helper already in Hong Kong

Are you looking for a helper as soon as possible? Your best option is probably to focus on domestic helpers who are already working in Hong Kong and finishing soon their contracts (finished contract or terminated due to relocation or due to financial reasons). It will allow you to easily meet candidates and start the hiring process. If you respect these criteria, the immigration process is shorter and it’s not mandatory to use an employment agency. Moreover, an agency obviously will cost you more than a direct hire.

2) Hiring a Foreign Helper currently in her country of origin

Foreign helpers are available in abundance, especially those from the Philippines and Indonesia. They are hardworking, trustworthy and well-trained.  If you want to direct hire a full-time helper who is currently in her home country, you must use an accredited employment agency like HKO Arigatoo Limited, Fair Agency, Sunlight, or Overseas Employment center. When you are hiring a foreign helper, the agency will make sure to check all the papers and documents to avoid any legal issues later. Foreign helpers are easily available through agencies.

3) Word-of-mouth or Facebook groups can be a great source

This gives you a great choice but it’s time-consuming! Try searching for the right fit on your social networks, Facebook Groups, GeoExpat, AsiaXPAT are the main networks to spread the word.

4) Your friends and relatives can lead you to the best fit for your family

This is reliable because either they would have experienced her services or heard about the same. Moreover, they know you!  Getting a good recommendation or referral for a nanny or housekeeper would be easier.

5) Newspaper ads are another source

A few years ago, they were probably one the best channel. Newspapers are still useful for a small category of people (elderly) or if you are looking for special skills (registered nurse, medical assistant…).
