How Domestic Staff can improve your lifestyle
The search for reliable domestic staff services can be an overwhelming and time consuming process. The tradition among middle and upper class families of employing domestic staff to do household chores goes back hundreds of years or more, and offers great time-saving value to their employers who are busy attending to their jobs, attending business interests or travelling.
First, look for a domestic staffing agency that has a successful history of matching quality candidates with the right families and has a reputation for excellence. Check candidate references to ensure that the agency delivers the level of service that they claim to provide. Check out how long the agency has been in business and enquire what type of experience and background the employees of the agencies have. The longer a domestic staffing agency has been in business, the more likely the company is to have business processes set up to ensure that it will find the right domestic staff or nanny services for your family’s needs.
All servants had specific duties, such as doing the laundry, taking care of the elderly, running errands, cooking, setting the table in the proper order, dusting the furniture, cleaning the kitchen and bathroom among other duties, sometimes assigned by gender. A butler and a family chauffeur were functions done only by men, while child-rearing duties were only done by females.
Most domestic staff around the world usually had little or no legal protection, typically being treated as only slightly above slave labor without regard to hours worked or wages paid, their lives being at the mercy of their domestic employers. During the early twentieth century in industrialized countries, many people organized and began demanding better working conditions for domestic workers, which were improved in many countries, but in some countries things are still done the old-fashioned way.
| Finding nanny services can seem complicated but, with the help of a domestic staffing agency, the process is much easier. There are many agencies out there that claim to provide the best service in the industry. Hiring domestic staff is something more than hiring someone to mow the lawn or clean the rooms. You are hiring someone to come into your home and to work and live amongst your family. |
