Personalised Helper Matching Service

We don't just hand you a stack of CVs — our dedicated consultants take the time to understand your family's specific needs and handpick the most suitable Filipino or Indonesian helper candidates for you.

Why Matching Matters

Hiring a domestic helper isn't like buying a product — this person will become part of your household, interacting with your family members every day. Choosing the wrong person doesn't just affect daily life; it may mean having to start the entire hiring process over again, wasting both time and money.

DuckDuckDay's matching service is designed to help you avoid that situation. We don't make random recommendations. Instead, we carefully screen every candidate based on your specific requirements. Our goal is to help you find a helper you can build a long-term, trusting relationship with.

Every year, we successfully match hundreds of families with helpers. We deeply understand the difference a good match can make for an entire household. Whether you're a first-time employer or an experienced one, we approach every case with the same level of care and dedication.

What We Consider

Every family is unique, so our consultants carefully assess the following factors:

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
Family Composition
How many people are in your household? Are there children or elderly members who need care? Family composition directly shapes our candidate selection.
🗣️
Language Needs
Do you need a helper who speaks English, Cantonese, or Mandarin? We match candidates with the right language abilities for your household.
🍳
Cooking Preferences
Do you prefer Chinese, Western, or Southeast Asian cuisine? Any dietary requirements? We find helpers who can prepare meals your family enjoys.
🐾
Pet Experience
Have cats or dogs at home? Not every helper is comfortable with pets. We specifically screen for pet-friendly, experienced candidates.
👶
Care Experience
Caring for newborns, school-age children, or elderly family members each requires different skills. We match the right experience level precisely.
🏠
Living Environment
The size of your home and whether there's a separate helper's room affects a helper's adjustment and work arrangements.

How the Matching Process Works

Our matching service is straightforward, with dedicated support throughout:

Step 1: Free Consultation
Reach out via WhatsApp or visit our North Point office to discuss your needs. This stage is completely free. We'll learn about your family background, preferences, and expectations to ensure our subsequent recommendations truly fit.

Step 2: Curated Shortlist
Based on your requirements, your consultant selects 3-5 of the most suitable candidates from our database. Each has been pre-screened, and we'll provide detailed profiles, work experience summaries, and references for your review.

Step 3: Interview Arrangement
Once you've identified candidates you'd like to meet, we'll arrange interviews — either in person or via video call. We also provide interview tips to help you ask the right questions and make an informed decision.

Step 4: Confirmation & Follow-Up
After you've selected your preferred candidate, we handle all the necessary paperwork, including contract signing, document preparation, and (if needed) visa applications. Even after your helper starts, we continue to follow up to ensure a smooth transition for both parties.

💡 The full matching process typically takes just 1-2 weeks (local transfers) or 12-17 weeks (overseas hiring). We'll work around your timeline as much as possible.

What Makes DuckDuckDay Different

Many agencies simply hand you a pile of CVs and leave you to sort through them. DuckDuckDay takes a fundamentally different approach:

  • Truly 1-on-1: The same consultant follows your case from start to finish. They know your needs and preferences, so you never have to repeat yourself.
  • Quality over quantity: We'd rather present a small selection of high-quality candidates than flood you with unsuitable options.
  • Ongoing support: After your helper arrives, if there are any adjustment issues, we help mediate and provide advice.
  • Full transparency: Every candidate's background, experience, and references are shared honestly — no surprises, no omissions.

We believe good matching goes beyond skills — it's also about personality, communication style, and lifestyle compatibility. These subtle factors often determine whether an employer-helper relationship succeeds long-term.
