Frequently asked questions

Helpful answers before you choose support for your home.

How does Home Helper Connect work?

Browse helper profiles, filter by location, type of help and availability, and shortlist up to four candidates. Pay the once-off R300 shortlist fee to request their details and available supporting documents by email. Contact candidates to interview them and agree on duties, hours and pay.

What does the R300 shortlist fee cover?

The once-off R300 fee covers one enquiry for up to four shortlisted helpers, including candidate details and available supporting documents by email. It does not cover wages or guarantee availability, employment or a placement.

Are the helpers background-checked or vetted?

Check each profile’s verification status and ask which checks and supporting documents are available for that candidate. A listing does not mean every background check has been completed. Review references, identity and relevant qualifications, and interview the candidate before hiring.

Can I hire helpers on a part-time, full-time, live-in, or live-out basis?

You can look for these arrangements using the work-type filters and discuss your preferred schedule with candidates. Availability varies by helper. Agree on duties, days, hours, pay and, for live-in roles, accommodation and time off before hiring.
