Best method to find domestic workers/ servant

السلام عليكم,

How does one go about finding and hiring domestic help in Karachi? I’m looking for a man to come everyday for about an hour to do some cleaning, etc.

I’ve seen some ads on internet, but does that really work? Seems like most of the domestic workers class might not have access to the internet to see the ad!

Word of mouth.

Are you new in pakistan?

Ask your neighbor to introduce you to their massi

Re: Best method to find domestic workers/ servant

Yes.

Wouldn't their massi already be working for them, and thus taken?

Re: Best method to find domestic workers/ servant

Maybe but that massi knows other massi who can work for you probably get relatives and friends

One Masai cleans many homes each day.

Mine works in many houses in my neighbourhood and is our previous maasi's cousin. I think my maali vouched for the previous one. So you need to ask around your neighbours especially ones with long term domestic help. It also helps to be on good terms with the drivers and cooks around you.

Don't forget to demand a CNIC from her. Don't take anyone without one (and get the Id checked at nadra to make sure it isn't forged)

And also some housing schemes also have some kind of office that provides people for services and some are so strict they want you to register all domestic help. Make sure you know how strict your locality is.
