What a all-rounder domestic helper does for your home.
Compact households often find that one capable helper works better than separate maids for cleaning and cooking. An all-rounder covers the core chores and helps in the kitchen with simple meals, chopping and preparation.
Because the role is broad, being clear about duties matters. We record the cleaning scope, the kind of cooking help you expect and any childcare or errands before shortlisting.
Hiring a all-rounder domestic helper: what to know.
What an all-rounder does
An all-rounder domestic helper combines everyday cleaning with basic home cooking and light help with children or elders. Many working households prefer one dependable person who can keep the home running rather than several part-role helpers.
Making the role realistic
An all-rounder is still one person. Add up the time for cleaning, cooking each meal and any care tasks. If the total exceeds 10 hours, split the work between roles or choose live-in help with agreed working hours. Overloading one helper is a common reason placements end early.
Who it suits
Working couples who want cleaning and simple meals, families with a school-going child who needs light supervision, and households that prefer one helper in the house.
Fees and salary
Daytime all-rounders use the Daytime Plan (₹15,000 + 18% GST = ₹17,700); live-in all-rounders use the 24×7 Live-In Plan (₹25,000 + 18% GST = ₹29,500). The worker's monthly salary is separate from the agency fee. It is agreed directly between your family and the worker based on experience, duties, hours, city and mutual agreement, and is paid directly to the worker.
A typical day, as an example
An all-rounder on a 10-hour shift might help with breakfast, clean the main rooms, prepare lunch, wash utensils, sit with a child after school or keep an elderly parent company, fold laundry and prepare dinner basics. This is an illustration; agree your own list in writing.
Choosing between one helper and two
If cleaning a large home and cooking for many people both take several hours, one all-rounder may struggle. Two focused roles, for example a house maid and a cook, often give better results than one overloaded helper.
How hiring works
Share your requirement through Book Now, a callback or WhatsApp; confirm with the ₹5,900 booking advance (₹5,000 + GST), which is adjusted against your plan fee; review matched profiles verified as applicable; interview shortlisted candidates by audio or video; finalise and pay the balance as per the booking terms; then Maidvy coordinates joining, and a Relationship Manager supports you during the active plan. Deployment generally takes 2 to 15 working days and is not guaranteed.
Deciding the balance between tasks
Most all-rounder placements succeed when the main task is clear. Decide whether cleaning, cooking or care is the priority, then rank the remaining tasks. A helper who knows that dinner matters most on weekdays can plan cleaning around it, instead of trying to do everything at once.
Cooking expectations for an all-rounder
All-rounders typically prepare everyday home meals such as dal, sabzi, rice and rotis. If your family needs elaborate dishes, several cuisines or meals for large gatherings, a dedicated cook or professional chef is the better choice. Share preferences on oil, spice and regional style during the interview.
Light care, not specialised care
An all-rounder can keep an eye on a school-age child or keep an elderly parent company, but should not be the only carer for a newborn, a bedridden patient or someone needing constant supervision. In those cases, combine roles or choose a specialised service.
A sample weekly plan for an all-rounder
Monday and Thursday: bathrooms and kitchen deep clean. Tuesday and Friday: laundry and ironing. Wednesday: dusting fans, shelves and windows. Daily: sweeping, mopping, utensils, breakfast and dinner preparation, and an hour with the children after school. A weekly plan spreads heavier tasks so no single day is overloaded.
Questions to ask in the interview
Which dishes does she cook every day? Has she worked in a home with children or elders? How would she organise a day with cleaning, lunch and a school pick-up? What does she expect about breaks and leave? Clear, practical answers suggest she has managed mixed roles before.
Reviewing the role after a month
Sit down after the first month and ask which tasks take longest. If cooking for guests or more care work has crept in, adjust the duty sheet or salary agreement openly. All-rounder roles drift easily, so regular reviews keep them fair.
All-rounder vs full-time maid
| Aspect | All-rounder | Full-time maid |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Mixed: cleaning, cooking, light care | Full day of household support |
| Hours | 6, 8, 9 or 10 hours, or live-in | 8, 9 or 10 hours, or live-in |
| Specialised care | Light support only | Light support only |

All-Rounder Domestic Helper by city.
All-Rounder Domestic Helper: common questions.
A house maid focuses on cleaning, utensils and laundry. An all-rounder also helps with basic cooking and wider household tasks.
Simple daily meals can be agreed. For larger families, specific cuisines or diet plans, a dedicated cook is a better fit.
Maidvy's agency service charge is ₹15,000 + 18% GST = ₹17,700 for the Daytime Plan, or ₹25,000 + 18% GST = ₹29,500 for the 24×7 Live-In Plan. The worker's monthly salary is separate and agreed based on experience, duties, working hours, location and mutual agreement.
Yes. Shortlisted candidates are interviewed on Google Meet, and you make the final selection.
Eligible replacements are provided under your plan: up to 2 for the Daytime Plan and up to 3 for the 24×7 Live-In Plan, subject to the Replacement Policy.
An all-rounder can give some help with children. For a newborn or an infant's full routine, a Japa maid or baby caretaker is the better choice.
Only if agreed and if it fits the hours. List meals and number of people when you share your requirement.
Often, yes. Cleaning plus simple meals on a 9 or 10-hour schedule covers many working households' needs.
The agency fee is per placement, so one all-rounder involves one plan fee. Salary depends on the combined duties. Two focused helpers involve two plans and two salaries but may suit a heavier workload better.
Yes, on the 24×7 Live-In Plan, with private space, meals and agreed rest provided by the family.
Ask about previous homes, which dishes she cooks, how she plans a day with mixed tasks and whether she has cared for children or elders before.
A newborn needs focused care. A Japa maid or baby caretaker is more suitable than an all-rounder with many other duties.
It is agreed between you and the helper based on the combined duties, hours, location and experience. Maidvy's agency charge is separate.
