Walk through the home carefully
Show rooms, storage areas, delicate surfaces, laundry systems, cleaning products, restricted areas and where supplies are kept. Demonstrate how you prefer items handled rather than assuming the candidate knows your personal standard.
Create a simple priority list
Separate daily, weekly and occasional tasks. In many homes, the urgent work changes depending on guests, children, travel or events. A priority list helps the housekeeper make better decisions.
Explain communication style
Agree how to report broken items, missing supplies, visitor instructions, late arrival, sickness or confusion about duties. Calm communication prevents small issues from becoming emotional.
Review privacy and household boundaries
Private documents, bedrooms, wardrobes, phones, laptops and family conversations should be treated with discretion. Boundaries should be clear and respectful.
In summary
A strong onboarding conversation can make a new housekeeper feel prepared, respected and accountable.
