Lahore households range from compact apartments in Gulberg to large multi-storey houses in DHA and Bahria Town, and that range is exactly why one maid arrangement does not fit every home. Here is what actually matters when you hire.
What Lahore Households Usually Need
Most requests we get fall into three patterns. A live-out maid for daily cleaning, laundry and light housework in a smaller Gulberg or Model Town home, working a fixed morning shift. A live-in maid for a larger DHA or Bahria Town property, where the workload spans multiple floors and the household prefers someone on site. Or a maid specifically for a joint family setup, common in older Lahore neighbourhoods, where the workload and reporting lines involve more than one household member.
Verification, Not Just an Interview
Every maid we place in Lahore goes through CNIC verification against NADRA records, a police character certificate from her local station, and a direct phone call to at least one previous employer, ideally another Lahore household, since that call reveals far more about reliability than a written reference.
What Maids Cost in Lahore
A live-out maid working a fixed daily shift typically starts around PKR 25,000 to 35,000 per month in Lahore, scaling with hours, the size of the home and whether cooking is included alongside cleaning. Live-in arrangements run somewhat lower in cash terms since board and lodging are provided, but require a genuinely private room.
Live-In or Live-Out: What Actually Decides It
Larger DHA and Bahria Town properties with more square footage tend to lean live-in, simply because the workload spans a full day. Smaller Gulberg and Model Town homes more often use a live-out maid on a fixed morning or split shift. Neither is inherently better, the decision should follow your home's actual size and your household's daily rhythm, not just cost.
Setting Clear Terms From Day One
- Specific duties: cleaning only, or cleaning plus laundry and light cooking
- Working hours and a genuine weekly day off
- For live-in arrangements, a private room with a door that locks
- Salary date and method agreed in writing
