How to Pick the Best Bureau for Your Home
- Vetting & references: Ensure the agency performs ID verification, reference checks and work history. Reputable ones highlight this.
- Clear contracts & fees: Ask for a breakdown of placement fee, trial period, and what after-care the agency provides (replacements, conflict resolution).
- Trial period & live-in logistics: Make sure you have a short trial period to assess fit. For live-in staff, clarify living arrangements, days off, pay, duties.
- Special needs: If you require special skills (baby care, special-needs child, elder care), pick an agency advertising relevant training and experience.
- Budget vs. service level: Sometimes the cheapest option lacks support/after-care — weigh cost against reliability and support.
