How it works

Two ways in, one platform

Employing keeps the price, the payment and the records connected.

If you need a Helper

  1. Search by service and place

    Choose the service and enter your address, postcode or city. You see profiles that cover your area.

  2. Compare at a price you see first

    Rates, availability and visible checks side by side. The full price is shown before you confirm.

  3. Your Helper confirms the request

If you already have someone

  1. Bring the Helper you already know

    Invite your Helper, or add them without an account.

  2. Choose Admin or Admin Light

    Admin Light prepares the paperwork for you to file. Admin files it in your name, with one signed authorization.

  3. Every month is ready on time

    Payroll, payslips and contributions are run for you on Admin, or prepared for you to pay on Admin Light.

Prefer your phone?

The documents, the monthly administration and the payment records for your Helper are in your Helpore account, on the web and in the Helpore app.

    Payments, documents and administration records stay connected.

Practical guidance

Choose household help with confidence

Clear Swiss guidance on costs, legal employment and finding the right support.

  1. Autumn school holidays 2026: canton dates and last-minute childcareSee 2026 autumn school holiday dates by canton, deadlines that have already passed, and practical childcare options for the days you still need to cover.
  2. One cleaner, two households, three possible tax billsOne cleaner earns CHF 1’800 a month from each of two households. The work and pay stay the same. Each household’s choice of how to handle tax can change the cleaner’s final bill. We repeated the 2026 calculation in all 26 cantonal capitals.
  3. Single-family homes shifted older in all 26 Swiss cantonsIn 2025, occupied single-family homes with someone aged 65 or over increased in every canton, while those without anyone in that age group decreased. Across Switzerland, the two movements were +6,573 and -5,085 homes.
  4. Household Cleaning Wages and Contributions by Canton in 2026A 26-canton comparison of a regular cleaning wage with public holidays and holiday pay, plus specified employer contributions and the cantonal contributions, for four hours a week at 2026 rates. Accident insurance is separate.
  5. The Swiss total fell. Private-household registrations rose 9.5%The registered short-term channel for private-household services grew from 1,726 to 1,890 in 2025 while the Swiss total fell. Could this be an early sign of greater formalisation?

What households ask before starting

Clear answers on finding a Helper and managing the employment with Helpore.

Who is my Helper’s employer?

Your household is your Helper’s legal employer in all three models: Flex, Admin Light and Admin. Helpore prepares the payroll records and documents and, on Admin, carries out the agreed administration under your authorization; Admin Light needs none.

What is the difference between Flex, Admin Light and Admin?

Flex is hourly help from Helpers you find here, with no subscription and the full price shown before you confirm. With Admin Light, Helpore records the agreed terms of one relationship and prepares its monthly payslip and contributions, while you do the registrations, filings and payments yourself. With Admin, Helpore runs the registration, payroll, contributions and insurance administration for you under your authorization. Both work for a Helper you already know.

Can I bring a Helper I already know?

Yes. If you already have a Helper, you can start directly with Admin Light or Admin. You do not need Flex for that.

What if I find a Helper through Flex and want to keep them?

You can move your relationship with a Helper you found through Flex to Admin Light or Admin. If you already know your Helper, you do not need to wait for Flex.

Who sets the Helper’s hourly rate?

Helpers set their own rates. Helpore checks the applicable minimums and shows the full household price before confirmation.

What does the price include?

Flex shows one household total before you confirm, with the Helper’s pay, the employment amounts that apply and Helpore’s service fee. Admin Light and Admin are separate flat subscriptions for the administration. The Helper’s wage, social security contributions, insurance premiums and other statutory employment costs stay separate and visible. All listed Helpore prices include VAT, to the extent it is owed.
