Obtain as much information as you can from them. Review your agency contract carefully for information about airfare or other costs you may be responsible for. Ask about refund guarantees and whether the company will replace an employee who quits and, if so, within what period of time and after what length of employment. Ask the agency for references to ensure that it is not misrepresenting the qualifications of candidates it recommends. Dealing with agencies is not the only way to find a suitable live-in caregiver from abroad.
Many people rely on recommendations from friends or on advertisements.
Before You Sign a Contract Be sure you are aware of your needs before you decide if someone is suitable. Remember the responsibility your employee is going to have in your home for the care of your children or other dependants. Make sure you choose the right person for your family. For example, ask if the applicant smokes or drives a car, likes children or the elderly, or can cook. Find out if there are any special customs or religious holidays you should be aware of.
