Can companies book household help?

How many hours does a carer work?
A carer works the hours you agree as the employer, from a short visit to regular weekly hours. Working and rest times, overtime and holidays follow your canton's standard contract for domestic work or employment contract law. Each Helper's profile shows their availability and, where they set one, the shortest visit they take for each service.
What is a carer not allowed to do?
A Helper in senior home help does no nursing, medical treatment or clinical personal care, and no emergency monitoring, patient transport or other regulated care. Your Helper helps with the household, meals, errands, appointments and company; you set the tasks as the employer. Nursing stays with licensed home care services or a qualified nurse.
How do I find a carer without an agency?
Enter the exact address of the help to see the Helpers who cover it. Then compare their public profiles for senior home help by languages and availability, and check that errands, meals and company are listed. Without an agency, you hire directly. The employer is whoever agrees the work and pays the wage: you or the person receiving help.
