The 10 rules

For a harmonious relationship with your household employee.

  1. Dialogue

    Remember that both sides need to understand each other.

  2. Salary

    A satisfied professional does the job well.

  3. Schedule

    A set work routine (daily, weekly, every two weeks or monthly) is important. Do not ask her to work for third parties or in a business setting; if that happens, pay the corresponding daily rate.

  4. Days off

    Weekly rest is an important part of the relationship between employer and employee.

  5. Recognition

    Every professional likes to know their work is appreciated.

  6. Motivation

    Not only through pay raises, but also through a smile and respect for the person.

  7. Boundaries

    The level of familiarity should be clear to both sides, so that limits are not crossed.

  8. Investment

    A training course is always welcome to keep quality high and learn new techniques.

  9. Adaptation

    Every professional needs time to adapt — household employees too.

  10. Success

    Success is always possible. Create the conditions for it.

Your household employee is a professional.

Treat her as one, not as a relative. Also learn about the rights and duties that apply to both sides under Brazilian law.

Start with the right professional.
