Find work as a domestic helper

Households come here looking for housemaids, nannies, cooks, drivers, caregivers and gardeners and message them directly. You put up a profile, they contact you, and you keep your full salary.

Domesta is not a recruitment agency and does not guarantee employment. Employers and workers agree directly.

It is free for helpers — households are the ones who pay. Creating a profile and applying for jobs costs you nothing, and it is not a trial: households buy access to contact details, and that is what funds the platform. You keep your own profile, decide who you talk to, and your details are only shared with the households you choose to engage with.
