Quick answer
What does it cost to hire a domestic couple in Bangalore through EzyHelpers?
A domestic couple is two placements, so there are two one-time placement fees paid to EzyHelpers, and you pay each person’s monthly salary directly to them. Our standard live-in placement fee is ₹25,000 + 18% GST per person as a reference, but exact fees for a couple are confirmed on a consultation call once we know the two roles. Both individuals are identity- and reference-checked, placement usually takes 24 to 72 hours, and live-in placements include a 7-day cooling-off period with free replacements on the 3-month and 11-month plans.
Two people in your home, both checked the same way
Bringing a couple into a large home doubles the trust you have to place. What lowers the risk is verifying each person and agreeing the work before they arrive.
Both individuals verified, not just one
We verify Aadhaar and identity for each person in the couple and check the local address where it is available. Police verification and a medical check-up can be arranged on request at extra cost.
References from previous households
Before we send a profile, we speak to prior employers about both people: punctuality, standard of work, and how they ran the home. A couple who worked well together for one family usually settles faster in the next.
Duties agreed in writing before they start
Two people sharing a home can blur into shared blame when something is missed. We help you split the work clearly, so each person owns their side of the house from day one.
A trial before you commit
You interview shortlisted couples and can run a trial period to see how they manage your home together before you finalise the placement.
Replacement support if the match is wrong
If one or both are not working out, we help you replace them. Live-in placements on the 3-month and 11-month plans include free replacements.
One coordinator for the whole placement
A single point of contact handles both shortlists, the interviews and onboarding, and stays reachable after the couple starts. You are not managing two hiring threads.
Couples paired for the way your home runs
Pick the two roles your property actually needs. Each pairing puts two full-time people on-site with clearly split responsibilities.
Cook and housekeeper couple
One partner runs the kitchen and daily meals while the other keeps the house clean and in order. A common pairing for large family homes that want consistent food and standards without hiring several separate helpers.
- Daily cooking to your family’s preferences
- Cleaning, laundry and ironing
- Kitchen stock and grocery lists
- Serving and clearing at mealtimes
- Guest preparation when you entertain
Good to know: This works when there is genuinely enough cooking and housekeeping for two full-time people. For a smaller home, one live-in maid or a single cook is usually the right call.
Discuss a cook and housekeeper couple →Caretaker and driver couple
One partner drives and handles errands and outside tasks, while the other looks after the house, security and daily upkeep. Suited to families who want a dependable on-site presence and a regular driver in one arrangement.
- School run, errands and airport trips
- Vehicle cleaning and basic upkeep
- Day-to-day house caretaking
- Receiving deliveries and vendors
- Gate and property watch
Good to know: The driver must hold a valid licence, which we verify. Clean-record checks are done where records are available. A dedicated driver is a fixed monthly commitment rather than pay-per-ride.
Discuss a caretaker and driver couple →Housekeeper and gardener couple
For homes on larger plots, one partner maintains the garden and grounds while the other manages the house interior. Keeps both the outside and inside to a steady standard under one placement.
- Lawn, plants and seasonal garden work
- Sweeping paths, terraces and outdoor areas
- Interior cleaning and laundry
- Watering schedules and basic plant care
- Waste management and outdoor tidiness
Good to know: This suits properties with real garden work to justify a full-time gardener. Specialist landscaping or tree work is a separate job we do not cover.
Discuss a housekeeper and gardener couple →Second-home caretaking couple
A live-in couple who keep a second home or farmhouse maintained, secure and ready for your visits when you are away for long stretches. One handles security and grounds, the other the interior and upkeep.
- Occupied presence while you are away
- Regular cleaning so the home stays visit-ready
- Garden, grounds and basic maintenance checks
- Receiving vendors and overseeing repairs
- Preparing the house before you arrive
Good to know: Bangalore Rural (Anekal, 562xxx) is outside our live-in coverage. Confirm the property location with us before planning a placement.
Discuss a second-home couple →When a couple makes sense, and when it does not
A domestic couple works for homes with enough space and enough work for two. For a single role, one live-in helper is the better and simpler choice.
- Large residences that need coordinated live-in staff, not one cleaner.
- Second homes or farmhouses that need year-round upkeep and a resident presence.
- Families who want two complementary roles filled under one arrangement.
- Homes with a private room and enough daily work to justify two people.
From first call to a couple in your home
Four steps, with both people checked before you ever meet a candidate.
Tell us about the home and the roles
Share the size of your property, the two roles you need filled, the accommodation you can offer, and any preferences such as language, cuisine or a licensed driver.
Vetted shortlist of couples
We send profiles that fit, each person identity-checked and reference-checked, with notes on their experience and how they have worked together before.
Interview and trial
You speak to the shortlisted couples by call, video or in person, and can run a trial to see how they manage your home together.
Onboarding and follow-up
We handle documentation for both and the start date. Your coordinator checks in after they begin and helps if the split of duties needs adjusting.
What to sort out before a couple starts
A few practical points that decide whether a couple placement runs smoothly.
Accommodation for two people
A domestic couple needs a private room, ideally with its own bathroom, on your property. Without suitable on-site accommodation a couple placement does not work, and a live-out arrangement or a single live-in helper is the better option.
Define each person’s duties early
Agree who owns cooking, cleaning, driving, the garden or security before they start. When both people know their side of the work, tasks stop falling into the gap between them.
Set the standards you expect
Tell us how you run the home: meal timings, cleaning frequency, how guests are handled, and how you want the property kept. Clear standards at the start save repeated corrections later.
Both people are checked
Identity and references are verified for each individual, not treated as one profile. You see the background of both people you are bringing into your home.
Domestic couple hiring questions
Common questions about accommodation, vetting, cost and the roles a couple covers.
What is a domestic couple and when does it make sense?
A domestic couple is two people, usually partners, placed together to cover complementary live-in roles in one home. Common pairings are cooking and housekeeping, caretaking and driving, or housekeeping and gardening. It suits large residences and second homes where there is enough work for two people and suitable on-site accommodation. For a single role, one live-in helper is the better fit.
Do we need to provide accommodation?
Yes. A live-in couple needs a private room, ideally with its own bathroom, on your property. If you cannot offer suitable accommodation for two, a couple placement will not work and we would suggest a single live-in helper or a live-out arrangement instead.
How do you verify a domestic couple?
We verify Aadhaar and identity for each person separately, check the local address where it is available, and speak to previous employers as references. Police verification and a medical check-up can be arranged on request at extra cost.
Can we choose which two roles the couple covers?
Yes. Tell us the two roles you need, such as cook and housekeeper, or caretaker and driver, and we shortlist couples whose combined experience matches. If your need is genuinely a single role, we will say so and suggest one helper instead.
Is there a trial period before we finalise?
Yes. You interview shortlisted couples and can run a trial to see how they manage your home together before confirming the placement.
What happens if one or both are not the right fit?
We help you replace them. Live-in placements on the 3-month and 11-month plans include free replacements, and live-in placements have a 7-day cooling-off period.
How much does it cost to hire a domestic couple?
There is no single published price for a couple. Each person is a separate placement, so a couple involves two one-time placement fees paid to EzyHelpers, and you pay each person’s monthly salary directly to them. For reference, our standard live-in placement fee is ₹25,000 + 18% GST per person. Exact fees for a couple are confirmed on a consultation call once we understand the roles.
How quickly can you place a couple?
In most cases we share profiles within 24 to 72 hours of understanding your needs. A couple with two specific roles is a smaller pool than a single helper, so matching can take a little longer.
Which areas do you cover?
We place domestic couples across Bangalore and in Bareilly. Coverage in Bangalore is within the city and core PIN codes. Bangalore Rural (Anekal, 562xxx) is outside our live-in coverage.

If a couple is more than your home needs, one of these may be the better fit.
