Temporary staffing is time-consuming and requires significant effort
It’s Time-Consuming: The process of sourcing, screening, interviewing, and hiring household staff members is time-consuming and requires significant effort.
Limited Network: Individuals looking to hire household staff may have a limited network to draw from. Making it difficult to find candidates with the desired qualifications and experience.
Lack of Expertise: Identifying the right candidates for household positions requires expertise in recruitment. Also, an understanding of the specific skills and qualities needed for each role.
Quality Assurance: Without the assistance of a professional staffing agency like Bespoke Bureau, individuals may struggle to verify the candidate. For example, checking the qualifications, background, and references of potential candidates. Meaning an increased risk of hiring unsuitable candidates.
What is a Live in Temporary Housekeeper?
Many temporary housekeepers have their own residences and commute to their employers’ homes every day. However, you can take this employer-employee relationship to the next level by hiring a live-in temporary housekeeper. A live in housekeeper can accommodate your needs even better and be on call when necessary. Moreover, you can also choose a temporary housekeeper to travel with you.
Live-in housekeepers have their own separate living quarters in an employer’s home, such as in a guesthouse, private bedroom, or attic apartment above the main house. Employers typically provide meals, transportation, bonuses, and other benefits to their live-in housekeepers when they exceed expectations and achieve performance goals. If the temporary housekeeper is traveling with you, she (or he) will need a separate room during the trip.
Duties, Responsibilities, and Qualifications of a Temporary Housekeeper
Temporary housekeepers can handle many different things for a homeowner, thereby relieving you from the burdens of household chores. They can dust surfaces, organize closets, vacuum floors, scrub toilets, and wash interior fabrics when necessary. They may have superior laundry skills, know how to maintain a kitchen, care for your wardrobe, and assist with pet care. Some temporary housekeepers even have childcare experience. They can thus provide nanny services when you are at work or traveling.
Qualified housekeepers will have years of experience professionally cleaning homes and catering to the unique needs of families they work for. Many housekeepers have their high school diplomas and perhaps specialized certifications for further education. Beyond these formal qualifications, housekeepers that we work with at Bespoke Bureau have excellent references. They also pass background checks with flying colors, and have all the qualities you would want in someone taking care of your home. These include dependability, trustworthiness, attention to detail, good communication skills, discretion, efficiency, and knowledge about the best ways to clean pretty much everything in a home.
