Domestic help requirements
A domestic help should be familiar with the tasks required of her. These can take place after consultation with the employer. Mostly domestic helpers are especially helpful with house cleaning. Comprehensive knowledge of cleaning agents, the correct inventory, laundry and cloakroom maintenance is therefore required.
The requirements for domestic help also include punctuality, discretion, friendliness, trustworthiness, accuracy, reliability, perseverance, independence and care.
Usually a domestic help is employed on an hourly basis. Based on the financial aspect, it is therefore advantageous to work as long as possible and take on many tasks. However, slow work is not well received by employers. It is therefore important to work efficiently without compromising thoroughness.
