If someone already helps in your home, choose Helpore Admin Light for monthly payslips, paperwork and calculations while you register and pay, or Helpore Admin for the agreed administration under your authorization. Your Helper does not need a public profile or a Helpore account. You can browse Helper profiles and book through Flex. Its required household package includes the payroll authorization, Flex agreement and terms.
Why clients choose Helpore
- Light and Admin for your existing Helper, and Flex to book someone new
- Transparent pricing before confirmation, not vague hourly numbers in a chat
- Structured records for payments, contracts, payslips, and employment paperwork
- One account that can support cleaning, childcare, senior home support, errands, and more
How do I hire home help in Switzerland without doing the admin myself?
The hard part is rarely finding someone available. The hard part is everything that starts once paid household work begins.
As our guide Hiring a Cleaner in Switzerland Legally in 2026 explains, domestic work in Switzerland can quickly create real employer obligations around pay, insurance, holiday handling, and reporting. Helpore is useful because the booking flow and the administrative execution sit in the same system instead of being split across messages, spreadsheets, and separate service providers.
Why is hiring home help in Switzerland harder than people expect?
Because private household work is not treated like an informal favor once money changes hands. Cleaning, childcare, senior support, home help, errands, and some paid work around the home can all move into the territory of regulated household employment.
The household remains the employer. Light supplies monthly payslips, paperwork and calculations for you to act on; Admin handles the agreed administration with authorization. Flex includes payroll under its required household package. See Help & Support and Terms & Conditions.
What administration do you need after finding a Helper?
A classified ad or neighborhood chat can help you meet someone. It does not solve the back office.
The real weakness in off-platform hiring is that booking, payment, and compliance become three separate jobs. That is where records go missing, holiday pay is forgotten, insurance questions stay unclear, and disputes become harder to resolve. If you want the risk breakdown, Cash-in-Hand vs. Compliant Work is the internal guide worth reading.
For an existing Helper, choose Light or Admin with a clear division of administration. Flex requests combine a chosen profile, an itemized quote and the required household package, but still need the Helper’s confirmation.
What makes Helpore different from a cleaning agency or a payroll-only service?
In Switzerland, the market is often split.
If you already have a Helper, Helpore offers both Light and Admin directly. Flex booking adds the ability to request one-off or recurring help from marketplace profiles with payroll administration included.
That matters because most households do not want half a solution. They do not want to source a Helper in one place and then manage paperwork in another. They also do not always want a narrow agency setup if their needs later change from cleaning to childcare, errands, or senior home support.
Can I use Helpore for more than cleaning?
Yes. Helpore is built for household support more broadly, not just one category.
The platform currently covers services such as:
- cleaning and housekeeping
- childcare
- senior home help and companionship
- gardening and outdoor household tasks
- pet care
- errands and household support
- tutoring and homework help
- cooking and meal prep
- home organization
That flexibility matters because real household needs rarely stay in one tidy box. You can explore the range from the homepage or start directly in search.
What does the Flex quote include?
Transparent pricing is one of the strongest reasons clients choose Helpore.
Review the itemized Flex quote before sending a request. It distinguishes the wage, employer costs and Helpore fee. The Helper must confirm the request; browsing a profile does not book help.

Do I still become the legal employer if I use Helpore?
Yes. Helpore's model keeps the legal relationship clear: the client remains the legal employer under Swiss law.
Light prepares monthly payslips, paperwork and calculations for the household to act on. Admin handles the agreed registrations, payroll, payments and tax administration with authorization. Flex includes payroll under its required household package. Read Terms & Conditions.
What happens after I book a Helper on Helpore?
The Flex household flow includes:
- Browse Helpers and compare profiles.
- Complete the required household signature package, including the payroll authorization.
- Review the itemized price and send the request; the Helper must accept it.
- Let Helpore run the admin connected to that booking.
- Keep your records in one place instead of reconstructing them later.
That documentation is not cosmetic. Clear records make it much easier to understand what was paid, what was filed, and what to do if something changes. If you want support before or after booking, Help & Support and Contact Us are the best next steps.
Why Helpore suits Swiss clients
Swiss clients usually want four things at once:
- a Helper they can trust
- a clear total price
- legal peace of mind
- records they can still find months later
Helpore is built around those needs. It combines discovery, booking, transparent pricing, and Swiss administrative execution in one flow. For many households, that makes it more useful than a payroll-only workaround and more adaptable than a single-service agency model.
Is Helpore available in my area in Switzerland?
Browse profiles and book through Flex; the Helpers you can book depend on each Helper’s service area. Light and Admin support a Helper you already employ.
If someone already helps in your home, choose Helpore Admin Light for monthly payslips, paperwork and calculations while you register and pay, or Helpore Admin for the agreed administration under your authorization. Your Helper does not need a public profile or a Helpore account. To find someone new, book by the hour through Flex.
