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.
