Domestic Helper Jobs-Where to Find World's Best Domestic Helper Jobs

By Alice Sy


Finding Domestic Helper Jobs should be rewarding if you are looking at the right place. Work abroad has always been associated with burden but if you are working in a beautiful country, paid accordingly and have your rights respected, this shouldn't be the case. For helper jobs, you get more than what other professionals are getting in other nations, only in these places.

Brazil has one of the luckiest workers in the world with 41 paid holidays and for domestic workers having the same rights as that of any lucky workers is a privilege. They are also protected by the law and employers are subject to hire a domestic helper under the registered contract where the law sets the minimum wage, paid leaves and day-offs, plus the other benefits regular workers are entitled to.

Domestic helper jobs should be looked highly upon in some countries in Europe too based on the beyond the usual salary for domestic employment. That's USD$1046.49 in Greece and 1, 829USD in France and that doesn't include the paid leaves yet. That amount is more than what Professionals earn in the countries of the domestic workers.

In 2011, Switzerland moved a step forward in providing decent work for domestic workers, aside from increasing the salary to $17.40 per hour, their rights are also protected by the law and the benefits include paid holidays, insurance and a limit to the number of working hours. This very attractive work package is one of the reasons why many domestic helpers invest big money on recruitment agencies who have Swiss vacancies.

That doesn't mean domestic helper jobs from these countries leave Hong Kong positions easily available. In fact, these are the exactly the reasons why most Asian maids want to work in Hong Kong first, to have the stepping stone. To step in these countries indeed where the pay is higher and the benefits are greater, the job is happier. That leaves the lives of the entire family of the domestic worker back in the poor country, absolutely better.
