Trouble finding a good maid? Help is just a click away

Having trouble with your old maid? Replacement is just a click away. Residents of Gurgaon are now logging in big time to solve small problems like these.
DLF's new online portal gives residents the convenience to pick a maid, servant, driver, cook and even a dog trainer.
Not just that, residents can even send an SMS mentioning their requirements to the DLF helpline number and not bother about the hassle one goes through to find a new maid.
Residents can search and view a listing of domestic helps their society web portals that are e-enabled on JustMyNeighbour. Various RWAs are supporting the initiative that will benefit the residents of entire city.
The service started by DLF City Residents' Welfare Association, the largest resident representative body, was included in their website -- www.dlfcityrwa.com. DLF has about 120 society portals that cater to more than 12,000 houses.
Commenting on the additional service offered on the portal, Sudhir Kapoor, Secretary General DLF City RWA said: "These initiatives are part of our continuous endeavour to assist residents of DLF City. We are proud to be the first ones to launch this functionality for our residents and look forward to a booming response to this new service."
Residents can log on to the society portal and punch in the help required. Be it a part-time or a full time solution, the portal has an exhaustive list from where residents can pick and choose. Society portals are a secure platform, where mobile numbers of domestic helps are listed for a resident to call and contact directly, as well as details of the domestic help with regards to their verification, age, permanent address and ID proofs are listed. What's more is that the data listed also includes work experience, marital status and skills like washing, dusting, sweeping etc.
"After numerous discussions with residents, RWAs and friends on various topics one problem faced by many was lack of domestic help. That's when we figured that a free service listing domestic helps will work," said JustMyNeighbour director Param Sidhu.
"There are various categories like maids, servants, car drivers, dog walkers, cook but for now the service is only for maids and servants," Sidhu added. PK Bhatia, president of Sushant Lok RWA, said: "After the Commonwealth Games and the verification drive by the police department, many servants and maids avoided work in Gurgaon. This created a huge gap but now services like these will help fill in the gap."
