Reviewed before listing. Helpers never pay.

Why Helper Circle exists

Good helpers shouldn’t be hard to find.

Great recommendations vanish in group chats within days. We keep them, and pass them on.

Kept in one circle
How trust is built

Two signals, shown on every profile.

However a helper reaches us, her profile only goes live once it carries one of these two signals, and we’ve reviewed it.

Employer Recommended

A family she worked for vouches for her.

A current or former employer recommends her directly, and we confirm it with them. Our strongest signal.

Long-Term Family Retention

She stayed with one family for years.

Several years with a single family, checked against official MOM records. Her record speaks for itself.

Every profile is reviewed before it’s listed.

Meet helpers

Introduced one at a time.

Most profiles begin as a conversation with a previous family. A few come from helpers with long, verified work histories.

A real employer story

A family’s experience, in her own words.

We could all meet together, ask our questions and feel comfortable before deciding.

The challenge

“As an employer concerned about transferring out my helper, I really wished for her to go to a good family to provide her service.”

The process

“I found the Zoom meeting organised by Helper Circle very useful: the helper, the current employer and the future employer all get to meet and chat on one call, speak out our concerns, and check that all the criteria and areas of concern are met before both parties commit.” Everything was transparent, with no hidden agenda and every question properly handled.

Current employer The helper New employer
The outcome

“For me, transferring my good helper away, there was no cost to me, and no cut from my helper’s salary either. The new employer pays a platform fee only after the deal is done, with no hidden costs.”

“I’m happy to highly recommend this service. It’s totally worth it, and peace of mind too.”
How it works

Four steps, one honest fee.

From the family behind Helper Circle

When we started looking for a helper for our own family, we realised that many of the best referrals disappeared within days. The helpers who came most highly recommended often never reached families who were actively searching for them.

Helper Circle started from a simple belief: good referrals shouldn’t disappear.
