The First Week With Your Domestic Helper: A Simple Onboarding Plan

The first days shape how you will work together for a long time. A simple plan for the first week helps the family and the helper understand the routine and expectations calmly.

Key takeaways
  • Begin with a home tour and a few priorities
  • Turn the agreement into a written schedule
  • Review and adjust at the end of the week

Day one: a tour of the home

Start with a tour of the home and show where tools, supplies and private spaces are. Introduce family members and key times, and leave room for questions instead of giving every instruction at once.

Days two and three: clear priorities

Pick three priorities for the first days, such as the kitchen, laundry and the children's rooms. Show how your family prefers each task done and write short notes to refer back to.

A clear, agreed start

Midweek: a written routine

Turn what you agreed into a simple daily schedule with tasks and rest times. A written schedule reduces misunderstandings and is easy to adjust later.

Communication and feedback

Spend a few minutes each day on what went well and what needs clarifying. Use clear, respectful language and avoid changing instructions constantly without explanation.

End of the week: review and adjust

Review the schedule together, drop unnecessary tasks and add what turned out to be needed. Early adjustments build a stable, comfortable working relationship for both sides.

Turn the list into a clear enquiry

Start with the service, emirate and preferred arrangement, and ask us to confirm availability and details before agreeing.
