Maid to order: the NCR's domestic services

When it comes to providing manpower for domestic purposes, Delhi has many agencies that promise to make life easy for you. Thanks to the large number of diplomats and foreign nationals residing in the city, most of these places will offer a host of options to choose from.

Depending on untrained, semi-trained and fully trained professionals, maids can cost anywhere between Rs 1500 and Rs 6000 per month! However, here goes the caveat: it is absolutely essential that you check the antecedents of any person before you hire.

Professional swank is what makes Esha Placements popular. Dial their services and you’ll know why. Right from getting the police verification done for your maid, cook or driver to arranging for cooks who specialise in international cuisine, Esha does it all. The price? A two-months’ salary of the personnel you hire.

Depending on your requirements Munjal Placement provides all kinds of helping hands. Domestic maids—full-time or part-time—trained nurses for the elderly and the ailing, and ayahs for newborns are some of the services on offer. Depending on the availability of work permits, they also organise maids for overseas postings.

Raja Placements provides maids on a contractual basis for eleven months and guarantees immediate replacement for half the charges in case of any problem. You can also hire a cook from them. Ujjawal Manpower Solutions, Jagdamba Agency and Kamal are other agencies that arrange for domestic help at moderate prices.

No matter what the crisis, as far as your every-day chores are concerned, these firms will always have a way out. But don’t dally, for sometimes they will have a waiting period of almost two months!
