Hiring a housekeeper at home: the verification checklist in 2026
Before handing the keys to your home to a housekeeper, a few simple checks help avoid unpleasant surprises. Here is the checklist to follow.
Verify identity
Always ask for a valid ID (national identity card) before any visit, especially if you plan to leave keys in your absence. On Adom, this check (ID scan and verification) is mandatory before a professional appears in the results.
Hold an interview before the first visit
A prior conversation, even a brief one, helps assess the candidate's motivation, experience and availability. On Adom, every professional goes through an individual interview conducted by our team before her profile is approved.
Check references
Contact at least two former employers to confirm the candidate's seriousness and punctuality. On Adom, checking references from at least 2 former employers is one of the 3 mandatory steps (ID, interview, references) before a professional is proposed.
After hiring: what to clarify from the start
- The scope of tasks: standard cleaning, ironing, windows — to define from the first contact.
- The agreed frequency and hours, with some flexibility in case of the unexpected.
- The payment method, ideally after each visit rather than in advance.
