How can you hire a part-time maid?
The
household that has two working people and kids is difficult to manage by just
one person. Wouldn't it be better if you had an extra set of hands? The part-time maids in Dubai will help
you with the house chores, run errands for you such as pay the bills, get the
groceries, etc. as well as take care of the kids in your absence.
But
there is always the threat of letting someone in the house who is neither
qualified nor trustworthy. How do you go about selecting the part-time maid
that is ideal for you? Should it be done offline? Online? Via personal
contacts? What can you ask her in the interview round? All these questions and
more are answered here.
Criteria
for selecting a maid:
- Job profile- Before you hire a maid, you must list all the job
description for her. It should include what task you would like her to do,
what kind of skills will be required to do the tasks, etc. This job
description will then decide what time the maid should come to your place.
As she is a part-time maid, she won't be available the entire day and
night. A job description helps in deciding the salary, the gender and age
limits of the maid as well.
- Interview- Once you have created the job profile, you will need to
shortlist the candidates that fill your requirement. Then begins round two
of the hiring processes i.e. interview. The interview will start with a
small description of the maid. Then, you can list down the chores you wish
the maid would do, his or her relevant skills and experience towards that
task. Also, remember to know about their family background. The family
background will let you know her commitment towards you and your family.
- Discuss timings- The interview process will shortlist some people
for you. You will then have to discuss timings with them. For example, if
they are available with morning to afternoon shift but you want them to do
an afternoon to evening shift, then there will be a contrast in interests.
Which is why the nitty-gritty should be discussed. The salary, leaves, and
other minor details are discussed in this stage too.
- Background check- The background is the last step and the part-time maids in Dubai that
are selected through a cleaning website will have a ready-made report. If
you are hiring her from other offline sources, then a background check for
criminal records should be run by you. This will ensure that she is
trustworthy and fit to work for you.
You can
also have a trial run with the part-time
maids in Dubai. Hire them for 2 weeks and check the chemistry between
you two. This will make it easy to understand if your selected maid is perfect
for you and your work or not. You should pay her for the trail run as well.
