FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I start the service during a transition period?
WhatsApp us the service type, days per week, and hours per day. We usually match a suitable assistant within 1–2 working days, then agree a start date together.
When can the service start?
The start date depends on district, time slot, and assistant availability, so advance booking is needed. We'll confirm available dates with you. Book earlier for holidays or peak periods.
What is the minimum booking length?
You can book by single visit or weekly, making it flexible for transition periods. If your helper hasn't started yet, we usually suggest 2–4 weeks first, then extend or reduce as needed.
How is a local assistant different from a foreign domestic helper?
Local assistants are hourly or part-time, paid per visit or weekly, and do not live in. A foreign domestic helper is full-time, live-in, and requires a work visa. For flexible help during a transition, a local assistant suits better.
What's the minimum booking?
Minimum 3–4 hours per visit; single or weekly recurring bookings available.
Are local assistants trained?
Most are retrained mid-career adults with real experience in cleaning, cooking, and caring for elderly or children.
How is pricing calculated?
Hourly rate depending on task, day (weekday/weekend/holiday), and district. WhatsApp us for instant quote.
What if the assistant isn't a good fit?
Let us know and we'll arrange a replacement as soon as possible and follow up until you're satisfied.
Can the local assistant live in?
Local home assistants are hourly/part-time and generally do not live in. For live-in care, consider hiring a foreign domestic helper.
Which districts do you cover?
All major residential areas across HK Island, Kowloon and NT. Remote areas may incur travel fee.
