Do helpers in Malad West need society gate passes?
Most of the newer societies along the Link Road and Marve Road are gated and ask households to register a regular helper with security. The older buildings in Orlem and near Liberty Garden usually manage entry informally.
What should I tell the helper about reaching my home?
In mixed areas, addresses can be harder to locate than in a single large society. Share a clear landmark, the building or house name, floor, and whether there is a lift, and mention any gate or security step. This helps the helper arrive on time on the first day.
How long does it take to find a cook?
Timelines depend on how specific your cuisine, diet and timing needs are, and on cook availability in your area. Common requirements such as everyday North Indian cooking in a standard morning or evening slot are usually matched faster than niche cuisines or unusual hours. Shortlisting, a trial and confirmation happen in that order.
What if the cook leaves or the food does not suit us?
A replacement policy is in place for cook placements. If the cook leaves or the cooking style does not work for your family, you can raise a replacement request and a new profile is matched to your preferences. The policy terms are explained at booking.
What if the helper leaves or does not work out?
A replacement policy is in place across all services. If a helper leaves, is irregular, or the fit is not right, you can raise a replacement request and a new profile is matched to your original requirements. The specific terms are shared with you at the time of booking.
