“Error 404: Servant not found!”

Well this is the sad state of affairs of in my house every now and then. In city life, it is very difficult for us to find a maid-servant or a driver who are regular. Just as I wished someone invented a solution for this, my friend referred me to few one-day helpers agency. Man, they rock!

“I can’t make it to work today! Sorry.” Hearing these seven words from my maid-servant or driver drives me crazy. It is an uphill task to find a servant in Chennai, let alone have a regular one.  One fine day I decided to put an end to this drama of hide and seek for new-new servants every now then when my friend referred to man-power agencies who offer one-day helpers/maids/drivers. 

Just one word for such services: Awesome! They’re my saviour since last year. Initially my family had apprehensions in letting strangers inside the house every other day. But the agency concept was very simple. A simple initial deposit and monthly/daily/per hour wages were the only money involved. Also, the agency guarantees reliability of these servants and drivers.

My dad’s biggest fear was that these daily wages concept would create a dent in the monthly expenditure. We can call them on days required and avoid unnecessary working days. Hence, we actually ended up saving more than our regular expenses incurred.

If we require a call driver, a little bit of planning and a notice of 24 hours would do. This is the most cost-efficient service offered by most agencies! Owing to this concept’s growing popularity, more daily-wage workers are joining these firms over regular personal employment citing job stability and security. 

Agencies such as Service Square, Satyam Manpower consultants and Azizio offer impressive service at Chennai. From cleaners to house-chore workers, drivers and even skilled professionals like carpenters/plumbers/electrician, they offer them all!

Opting for one-day helpers is worth the investment! I would definitely recommend it!
