Household Assessment
Matching starts with understanding your household.
Different households need different strengths. The assessment helps MMHelpers understand your household, responsibilities and expectations before candidate matching begins.
Household profile
More than a list of duties
Who lives in the household
What the helper will normally do
How a normal day usually runs
What kind of support and independence you expect
How your household communicates and teaches
What we look at
A fuller picture of the household and the role.
Matching should consider more than age or years of experience. The assessment helps us understand the practical work and the working environment around it.
Household setup
Who lives in the home, house type, children, elderly family members and pets.
Main duties
The household work, care responsibilities and cooking needs that matter most.
Daily routine
The normal pace of the household, schedules and everyday working rhythm.
Helper needs
Experience, English ability, independence and personal qualities you value.
Working style
How your household gives instructions, teaches routines and handles mistakes.
Previous experience
What has worked well or been difficult with previous helpers.
Employment expectations
Salary range, rest-day preference, experience preference and timing.
Final review
A chance to review the complete household profile before submitting it.
Why this matters
The assessment becomes part of the matching process.
It helps us move from a general request for a helper toward a more useful understanding of what may fit your household.
Understand the household
Build a clearer picture of the work, people, routine and expectations.
Identify priorities
Understand which experience, strengths and working style may matter most.
Prioritise candidates
Use the assessment as one reference when reviewing possible helper matches.
Prepare for interview
Help both employer and helper discuss the household and expectations more clearly.
There is no perfect household or perfect helper.
A household with young children may need different strengths from one focused on elderly care, cooking or a fast daily routine. Clear information helps us focus on candidates whose experience, working style and expectations may fit better.
Different responsibilities
Different routines
Different communication styles
Different helper strengths
Your assessment gives us a working reference.
MMHelpers can review the household profile, clarify important requirements when needed and use it when prioritising candidates and preparing for interviews.

The original assessment can also provide useful context later if a serious placement issue needs to be reviewed under MatchCare.
