Housekeepers and Domestic help guide<\/h2>\n

For most ex-pats who come from Western society, full-time household help is a fantasy come true. Household helpers in Bangalore can perform a variety of chores: mopping, sweeping, washing, cooking, and even look after your children. There are generally two types of domestic staff available in Bangalore: full-time help (who might also stay with you) and part-time help. If you are not used to having full-time help, you might find having an extra presence in the house an infringement of your privacy. Perhaps to start, try hiring one or more part-time helpers to assist you with your household chores.<\/p>\n

The monthly salary for domestic help ranges from Rs 5,000 to Rs 12,000. Generally speaking, live-in help rates range between Rs 6000 – 12,000, while full-time (8-10 hours per day) charges slightly less.

Compensation for part-time help starts at as low as Rs 500 per month for odd jobs<\/a> like sweeping, laundry and washing dishes. Rates may be higher depending on competence level and language ability. Ask around about salaries and known competent staff.<\/p>\n

Be sure to ask a lot of questions and find a mutual agreement about tasks to be performed, fees to be paid and dates\/hours of employment prior to hiring.
