Salary Package

Naturally these are only guidelines with the final package depending on the individual needs of the employer and the skills of the employee; this to be negotiated between the parties. The employer needs to weigh up the scope of duties required and the affordability of domestic help. Employees should be guided as to other advantages: such as long-term growth, training and a good working relationship. Conspicuously wealthy households and extravagant spending will invariably lead to raised expectations, as will households that require long hours and have difficult working conditions. Remember we are all individual and have different needs; someone looking for a substitute “mother” for their children who cooks; does the shopping; baby-sits and requires little supervision will pay a lot more than the bachelor who only requires that his flat is kept clean and his shirts ironed.
When employing a domestic worker on a part-time basis, we recommend that one calculates and pays a monthly salary, which is more likely to encourage a worker to take the job more seriously, and enables them to look at the bigger picture. The recommended rate per day varies between R100 and R150. To calculate this as a monthly rate, one would multiply the number of days worked per week by the daily rate and then by 4.333 (the average month length as used by department of Labor).
Ultimately, although money is a large motivator, treating employees with respect, recognizing their personal space, time and life all go a long way in paving the route to a successful long term working relationship.

We are proud to say that to date we have a pool of satisfied customers. Knowing how we have help our customers; both employers as well as domestic workers to achieve a "Better Quality of Life", motivate and drive us to do more.
We differentiate ourselves by being a more caring service orientated and responsible agency. We only recruit suitable domestic workers and work selectively with responsible and reliable foreign partners. We always strive to match the most suitable domestic worker to employers based on established expectations, skills set and capabilities. We are most concern and will help the domestic worker and the employer build a good working relationship throughout the term of employment.
We will provide you with our best of Service to ensure that the experience that you will have with us will be a rewarding one. We look forward to be of service to you
