Plan the arrangement before the shortlist
Decide whether live-in support fits your household
Live-in staffing may suit a household that needs a consistent daily routine and has suitable accommodation. It does not mean continuous availability. Write down morning, daytime and evening responsibilities, then check that they fit a reasonable working schedule with rest. If essential tasks overlap or require continuous coverage, discuss separate people or shifts.
Describe the accommodation before interviews
Tell the candidate and Hire Staff Islamabad about the room, privacy, bathroom access, meals and household entry arrangements. Discuss where personal belongings can be kept and how visitors, emergencies and time away are handled. Explain the arrangement honestly before a candidate travels to interview or join; important living conditions should not be a surprise on arrival.
Separate each role’s responsibilities
A cook needs clear meal times, kitchen duties and grocery arrangements. A housekeeper needs a realistic cleaning and laundry scope. A helper may support serving and errands, but driving, childcare and clinical nursing are separate responsibilities requiring appropriate skills. Do not use the term live-in to combine several full-time jobs into one role.
Set boundaries and time off in writing
Agree working hours, breaks, weekly time off, wages, payment dates and how occasional extra work will be arranged. Discuss phone use during work, privacy expectations and respectful communication in both directions. Set a process for concerns and changes to duties. For a family driver or helper who travels, specify destinations, overnight trips and expenses separately.
Prepare a supervised start and handover
Interview against your duties and agree any paid practical trial in advance. Ask Hire Staff Islamabad which identity, references and role-specific checks have been completed. On joining, explain equipment, household routines and whom to contact if something goes wrong. Agree access to keys, purchases and private spaces step by step. Keep the placement fee and six-month replacement conditions in the written agency terms.

Questions, answered
Does a live-in employee work 24 hours a day?
No. Living at the property does not remove the need for agreed working hours, rest, privacy and time off. For continuous support, discuss separate shifts or additional staff.
Can I request a male live-in helper or cook?
You can discuss your household requirement with Hire Staff Islamabad. Explain the duties, accommodation, schedule and relevant skills. Candidate suitability and availability are confirmed against the complete brief.
What happens if the live-in arrangement does not work?
Contact Hire Staff Islamabad and refer to your written placement terms. Standard placements have six months of free replacement cover subject to conditions. Confirm eligibility, the process and any changes to your original brief before hiring.
