What is a full-time maid and what does it cost?
A full-time maid works a full daytime shift of 8, 9 or 10 hours, covering cleaning, utensils, laundry and other agreed household tasks, and returns home after work. With Maidvy, full-time daytime help uses the Daytime Plan (₹15,000 + 18% GST = ₹17,700). If you need help early mornings and late evenings, a live-in maid on the 24×7 Live-In Plan (₹29,500 incl. GST) may suit you better. Salary is separate.

What a full-time maid does for your home.
Full-time help suits households where one part-time visit is not enough: families with children, homes with several rooms, or working parents who want the house run smoothly while they are away.
You choose a daytime shift or a live-in arrangement. Duties, timings and weekly offs are agreed during the requirement stage, and you interview shortlisted candidates before selection.
Hiring a full-time maid: what to know.
What full-time means at Maidvy
A full-time maid works a full daytime shift of 8, 9 or 10 hours, handling the household's daily work across the day, or lives in with agreed working hours. The role suits homes where help is needed for most of the working day, not just a few chores.
Full-time vs live-in
A daytime full-time maid goes home at the end of the shift, so your evenings stay private and no room is needed. A live-in maid resides in your home and can help early and late within agreed hours, with sleep, breaks and a weekly off. Choose based on when you need help and whether you can provide a private space.
Typical duties
Cleaning, utensils, laundry and ironing, kitchen upkeep, help with cooking if agreed, and light support with children or elders. Agree every duty and the weekly off in writing.
Fees and salary
Maidvy's Daytime Plan is ₹15,000 + 18% GST = ₹17,700, with up to 2 replacements during the active plan. Live-in full-time help uses 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
A 9-hour full-time maid might arrive before breakfast, handle cleaning and utensils through the morning, do laundry and ironing after lunch, help prepare dinner ingredients and close the kitchen before leaving. Your duty sheet should reflect your own household.
Planning around your work hours
Match the shift to when your family is out: if you leave at 9:00 and return at 19:00, a 10-hour shift starting at 8:30 may be needed. If help is needed beyond that, consider live-in.
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.
Keeping a full-time placement healthy
Pay on time, protect lunch breaks and the weekly off, and review the duty sheet together after a month. Helpers who feel the role is fair tend to stay longer.
Full-time vs a 6-hour shift
A 6-hour shift covers core cleaning and utensils in many homes. Full-time hours make sense when laundry, ironing, meal preparation or support during school hours are added, or when the home is large. Time your current household tasks for a week before deciding.
Breaks, meals and the weekly off
A full-time shift should include a lunch break and short rest. Agree whether you will provide a meal or tea, the weekly off day, public holidays and how leave is requested. Writing these down at the start avoids most later disagreements.
When full-time is not enough
If you regularly need help before 7:00 or after 20:00, or care for a child, elder or patient overnight, a full-time daytime arrangement will be stretched. A live-in arrangement with agreed rest is designed for those households.
Questions to ask a full-time maid
Ask about her daily schedule in previous homes, how she manages laundry and ironing alongside cleaning, whether she can prepare simple meals, how far she lives and how she will travel. A realistic commute is one of the most important factors in a stable daytime placement.
Budgeting for full-time help
Plan for the Daytime Plan fee of ₹17,700 incl. GST, the monthly salary agreed with the maid, and any meals or tea you choose to provide during the shift. If commuting is long, some families also agree a travel contribution; any such arrangement is between you and the maid.
Handling leave and absences
Agree how much notice she gives for planned leave and how sick days are informed. Keep a simple record of days off. If absences become frequent, raise it early and involve your Relationship Manager during the active plan.
Full-time maid vs live-in maid

|---|---|---|

| Room needed | No | Private sleeping space |
| Meals | As agreed | Provided by the family |
| Agency fee | ₹17,700 incl. GST | ₹29,500 incl. GST |
