Trained, Verified Staff For Every Household Role

Showing all 18 staff categories.
High Demand
Cooks
Home cooks handle everyday Pakistani, continental and family meals, the normal day-to-day cooking a household needs. They are not formally trained chefs and are not suited to hosting or event-scale menus. If you entertain regularly, see our separate Chefs category instead.
Chefs are professionally trained, a genuinely different tier of skill from a home cook. Where a cook handles normal daily meals, a chef plans multi-course menus, cooks for guests and events, and is comfortable with more advanced and continental cuisine. Choose this category if you entertain regularly or want restaurant-quality food at home.
Our maids are female household staff who independently manage cleaning, laundry, ironing and daily household upkeep, a full role, not an assistant role. If you only need lighter support alongside your cook or maid, see our separate Helpers category instead.
Helpers assist your existing cook or maid with daily chores, dishwashing, prep work and errands. This is a support role, not a substitute for a maid or a cook, so it suits households that already have a cook or maid and just need extra hands.
Caring, patient nannies and babysitters experienced with newborns, toddlers and school-going children. Available full-time, part-time or live-in, with school run and homework support.
Qualified home nurses with verified nursing credentials for post-operative recovery, chronic condition management and round-the-clock medical support at home.
Domestic couples, typically a cook paired with a helper or a driver paired with a helper, placed together in your household for consistent, coordinated support.
Experienced plumbers for leak repairs, fixture installation, drainage issues and bathroom or kitchen plumbing work. Charged per job depending on scope of work.
We keep a standing pool of verified staff across every category in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, so most requests are matched and placed the same day or the next.

Transparent Fee, No Monthly Commission

There is no monthly commission and no recurring charge, and the salary goes straight from you to your staff member. That one payment also covers you for a full 6-month replacement guarantee, which works out to less than a sixth of a month's salary for every month you are protected, far cheaper than restarting the search yourself if a hire does not work out.

Essential Household Hiring Guide
Why Households in Islamabad and Rawalpindi Trust Staffly
Hiring a cook, maid, driver or nanny is not only about finding someone who is free next week. It is about fair written terms, an identity you can actually verify, and cover on the day something goes wrong. Here is how each of those works in the twin cities.
Almost every dispute between a household and its domestic staff starts with something nobody wrote down: the exact monthly salary, the date it is paid, or how many days off the month is meant to include. A short written agreement, signed by both sides before the first day of work, removes most of that risk, and it protects the employer just as much as the staff member.
A workable agreement in Islamabad or Rawalpindi fits on a single page. It should state the agreed monthly salary and the pay date, daily working hours and the weekly day off, annual and sick leave, how extra hours for dinners, guests or wedding functions are paid, and the notice period each side must give. For live-in maids, cooks and nannies it should also record the accommodation provided, the meals included and who covers utilities, because those form part of the real package and are the easiest thing to fall out over.
Keep the wording plain, in a language your staff member reads comfortably, and hand them a signed copy. You employ the staff member directly, so salary and leave stay a matter between you and them. We help you set the terms at the outset and stay available to mediate if a disagreement comes up months later.
What we help you set up:
A market-rate monthly salary for the role, benchmarked against current Islamabad and Rawalpindi rates.
A one page written agreement covering salary, pay date, weekly day off, annual leave and notice period.
Clear live-in terms, so accommodation, meals and utilities are counted as part of the package rather than argued over later.
Most domestic staff in the twin cities are still hired on word of mouth. A neighbour recommends a cousin, a phone number is passed along, and nobody checks a single document. That works until it does not, and by then someone you cannot trace has had keys to your home, access to your children and full knowledge of your family routine.
Verification is ordinary, methodical work. We confirm identity against NADRA records, obtain a Police Character Certificate from the candidate’s own police station, and telephone previous employers ourselves instead of accepting a typed reference letter. A candidate who cannot produce a verifiable CNIC, or whose references cannot be reached, is not placed. Those checks sit inside the same 40 point screening every applicant clears before a profile is sent to you.
Privacy runs in both directions. Your address, your family details and anything a staff member sees inside your home are treated as confidential, and we do not circulate your contact details to candidates who have not been shortlisted for your role.
How every candidate is verified:
CNIC verified against NADRA records, with permanent and current addresses confirmed.
Police Character Certificate obtained from the candidate’s own local police station.
Previous employers called directly to confirm length of service, honesty and the real reason for leaving.
Households rarely lose staff at a convenient moment. A maid leaves for a family emergency back home, a cook resigns the week before a wedding, or your regular driver takes a month of leave and the school run collapses. We keep a standby list of already verified candidates across Islamabad and Rawalpindi for exactly these situations, and common roles are usually covered within 24 to 48 hours. Demand climbs sharply through Ramadan and the wedding season, when households need extra cooks, helpers and cleaners for a few weeks rather than a few years, so tell us your dates early and we will hold suitable candidates for you. Short term cover is also available while your regular staff are on annual leave, and every permanent placement still carries the same 6 monthsreplacement guarantee.

Search & Placement FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our placement timelines, background checks, fees and the 6-Month replacement guarantee, for households and offices across Islamabad and Rawalpindi.
Most placements are completed within 24 to 48 hours for common roles such as maids, cooks and drivers. Specialised roles like home nurses or live-in nannies typically take four to eight days because the pool of verified candidates is smaller.
Every candidate goes through CNIC verification against NADRA records, a Police Character Certificate from their local station, direct phone calls to at least two previous employers, a practical skills test for their role, and basic medical clearance. Candidates who cannot produce a verifiable CNIC or checkable references are not placed.
We charge a one-time placement fee equal to one month of the agreed salary, and nothing else. There is no monthly commission and no recurring charge, ever. That single payment also buys you 6 months of free replacement cover, so spread across the guarantee period it works out to less than a sixth of a month’s salary for every month you are protected, far cheaper than starting a search over on your own if a hire does not work out. The staff member’s salary is paid by you directly to them, so you always know exactly what they earn.
You are covered by a 6-month replacement guarantee. If the placement fails within that window for any reasonable cause, we restart the search and place a replacement without charging the placement fee again, so your one payment keeps working for you for half a year.
Yes. Live-in arrangements are available for maids, cooks, nannies, caretakers and nurses, subject to candidate availability and suitable accommodation being provided. Live-in staff typically receive a slightly lower cash salary because board and lodging are included.
We place staff throughout Islamabad and Rawalpindi, covering all sectors of Islamabad, DHA, Bahria Town, Gulberg Greens, Chaklala and the surrounding areas. Placements further afield can be arranged where the candidate is willing to relocate.
Yes. Alongside full-time placements we arrange part-time maids and cleaners, temporary cover during Ramadan or wedding season, and short-term staff for events or when your regular staff are on leave.
You employ the staff member directly, so salary, leave and working hours are agreed between you and them. We help you set fair, market-rate terms at the outset and stay available to mediate if any dispute comes up later.
