Caretakers Hiring Guides
Hiring guides for caretakers across every city we serve.
About Hiring Caretakers
Hire a caretaker or attendant for ordinary daily support, companionship, errands and an agreed household routine. Explain the hours, supervision and level of assistance required. A general caretaker is not automatically a nurse; any clinical requirements need appropriately qualified professional support.
The guides below cover caretakers hiring city by city: what to check before you sign an agreement, what a fair market salary looks like where you live, and the specific verification steps we run on every candidate before a profile reaches you. Placements in this category typically start around PKR 30,000 per month, adjusted for experience, live-in status and your city.Each guide is written for that city's actual hiring conditions rather than reused across locations, so read the one for your own city before you start interviewing.
Common Questions About Caretakers
What is the difference between a nurse and a caretaker?
Nurses provide clinical/medical support, while caretakers focus on daily companionship, mobility help and non-medical support.
Every candidate covered in these guides goes through the same 40-point verification Staffly runs on every placement: CNIC checked against NADRA records, a Police Character Certificate from their own local police station, and previous employers called directly rather than a reference letter taken at face value. For duties, current pricing and the full FAQ for this role, see the main Caretakers page, and for salary ranges by experience level and city, the salary guide.
Households hiring caretakers through Staffly usually have the same three questions before they commit: how fast can someone start, what happens if the first hire does not work out, and who actually pays the staff member. Timing depends on how specific the role is, common roles are matched faster than specialised ones, but most households have a shortlist within a day or two of getting in touch. If the placement is not a good fit, the 6-month free replacement guarantee covers a second search at no extra cost. And the staff member is always employed directly by you, salary paid straight to them, with no ongoing commission taken by Staffly beyond the one-time placement fee.
