​The Gold Standard: How Select Maid Vets Live-in Staff for Your Family’s Security


Introduction: The Fear Factor

​For families in Delhi, hiring live-in home help is a necessary step, but it often comes with a significant fear: security and trust. When you invite a House Maid, Cook, or Attendant to live within your four walls, their background must be impeccable.

​At Select Maid, your family’s safety is our highest priority. We don’t just interview; we implement a rigorous, multi-layered verification process that sets the industry standard.

Step 1: The Essential Documentary Checks

​Before a candidate even meets a family, we ensure their core identity and history are solid. This goes beyond a simple ID card.

  • Aadhaar and Photo ID Verification: Mandatory cross-checking of all legal identification documents.
  • Police Verification (Where Applicable): We facilitate and require official police verification from the candidate's native address to ensure a clear criminal record.
  • Reference Checks: We contact previous employers (with consent) to verify employment history, conduct, and skill consistency.

  • Step 2: The Skill and Psychological Assessment

    ​A clean background is the minimum—but we also ensure the staff can perform the job with professionalism and the right temperament for a live-in arrangement.

    • Behavioral Interviewing: Our team conducts in-depth interviews to assess responsibility, reliability, and emotional stability. Live-in work requires a patient, respectful, and disciplined individual.
    • Specific Skill Testing: A Home Chef is tested on hygiene and cooking; a Nanny is assessed for child handling and emergency knowledge. We match skills to your exact needs.

    Step 3: Cultural and Communication Matching

    ​A live-in helper must integrate seamlessly. This is a critical step often overlooked by basic agencies.

    • Regional Specialisation: Whether you need a Tamil Cook, a North Eastern Helper, or a staff member who speaks Kannada or Telugu, we focus on finding a cultural fit to minimize communication friction and maximize comfort.

    Conclusion: Peace of Mind Starts Here

    ​Stop compromising on trust. When you choose Select Maid, you are choosing a partner dedicated to your safety. We handle the hard work of background checks so you can focus on enjoying a well-run home.
