Questions

Private household staff FAQs

What counts as private household staff?

Anyone employed or booked to support your home: housekeepers, private cooks, babysitters and nannies, carers, drivers and errand Pekerly Runners. On Pekerly you can find each of these as an individual, verified professional rather than going through a staffing agency.

How is Pekerly different from a domestic staffing agency?

Agencies charge large placement fees and opaque mark-ups. Pekerly shows you each Pekerly Runner's verified checks, reviews and hourly rate up front, and you book directly — no placement fee, and Pekerly Runners keep the large majority of what you pay.

How do you vet household staff?

Every Pekerly Runner completes identity verification and a phone check before they can accept work. Their Trust Passport shows exactly which checks are confirmed and when, and you can message or video-call them inside the app before confirming anything.

Can I hire more than one type of Pekerly Runner for my household?

Yes. Many households combine a regular housekeeper with an occasional cook, sitter or carer. Pekerly's Family Circle keeps everyone's bookings, access notes and schedules in one place.

Is my privacy protected when I invite staff into my home?

Your address and access notes are only shared with the Pekerly Runner you confirm, inside the app. Messaging, calls and bookings stay on Pekerly, so your personal contact details remain private.
