Helpers by household need
Elderly care helpers
Discuss mobility, daily living routines, companionship and household support so we can identify relevant helper experience.
Understanding the profile
Match the person—not only the label.
A domestic helper may assist with daily routines, mobility support, meals, companionship and appointment preparation. Clinical nursing or medical procedures require appropriately qualified professional support.
Nationality or a care category is a useful starting point, but it should never replace a proper interview, clear job scope and realistic expectations on both sides.
What to assess

Interview prompts
Questions worth asking.
- How would you safely assist someone who is unsteady when walking?
- What changes in an elderly person’s condition would you report immediately?
- How do you encourage dignity and independence during daily care?
- Which care tasks have you performed under instruction?
Before you decide
Important considerations.
- State the person’s mobility and cognitive needs honestly.
- Identify tasks that require nursing or clinical professionals.
- Discuss night-time needs, lifting and the home layout before matching.
