Some homes do not need a maid for two tasks — they need someone who runs the house. Cooking, cleaning, laundry, errands, keeping an eye on the children or a parent, and being there through the day. Labourwala places verified full-time and live-in domestic help with families across Dehradun.
Every helper we send has completed identity verification and a background check before reaching your door. We place domestic help across Dehradun, Haridwar, Rishikesh and Mussoorie.
Families use both words for the same person, but the work is not the same — and hiring the wrong one is the most common reason a placement fails in the first month.
A house maid is task-based. Sweeping, mopping, dishes, laundry, bathrooms — a defined list, usually in eight hours, and she goes home.
Full-time domestic help is household-based. The work is whatever the house needs that day — cooking with the cleaning, groceries, laundry, managing the kitchen, helping with children or an elderly parent, and being available when something comes up. That is why it is usually a 10 hrs or live-in arrangement.
All our placements are monthly, and they start at eight hours a day — we do not place staff by the hour or for one-off work. Most families on this page end up with a 10 hrs or live-in helper, because that is what running a whole house actually takes.
Eight hours a day, live-out. Cleaning, laundry, dishes and basic cooking. Best for small families and working couples who want the house handled while they are out, with meals taken care of.
₹11,000 – ₹15,000 per month
Ten hours a day, then she goes home. Cooking, cleaning, laundry, groceries, kitchen management and general household work, with support for children or elderly members alongside. Best for larger families and homes that stay busy through the day.
₹14,000 – ₹18,000 per month
Stays at your home, with meals and accommodation provided alongside the salary. Available through the day and for anything that comes up at night. Best for joint families, homes with young children, and families with an elderly parent who should not be alone.
₹16,000 – ₹22,000 per month, plus meals and stay
These are indicative ranges for Dehradun and vary with house size, hours, the work involved and experience. The exact figure is confirmed before anyone starts. For a full breakdown by experience level, see our household staff salary guide for Dehradun, or use the pricing calculator.
Rates also move by locality — household staff rates by area in Dehradun compares what Rajpur Road and Clement Town actually pay.
Live-in has become the most common choice in Uttarakhand over the last few years, and there are practical reasons for it. Our piece on why 24-hour live-in maids are becoming popular in Uttarakhand goes into it.
We place both male and female domestic helpers. Tell us what suits your household and we match accordingly.
If one part of the work matters far more than the rest, a specialist is usually better value than an all-rounder. For the kitchen, see our cook service in Dehradun. For a parent who needs daily attendance, elder care services. For children specifically, we place babysitters and nannies. And for whole-house cleaning, our housekeeping service covers it.
A live-in helper stays in your home. That raises the bar on verification, not lowers it. Every helper completes four checks before we recommend them:
You can ask to see the verification documents for any candidate, and we would rather you did. Why each of these matters is explained in our guide on why a background check matters.
We also check experience against the work you actually need. Someone who has run a two-person household is not automatically ready for a joint family of ten, and we do not pretend otherwise.
If the helper we place is not the right fit — the work, the timing or simply the personality — we arrange a replacement at no extra charge. You do not restart the search, and you do not pay twice. This matters most with live-in help, where the fit has to work for the whole family.
This is the main practical difference between hiring through an agency and hiring on a neighbour's reference. Our comparison on agency vs direct hiring covers the real cost of each.
For live-in arrangements, settle the room, meals and weekly off in writing before the first day. These are the three things that cause almost every live-in placement to break down, and all three are easy to agree in advance.
A free household staff agreement format is available — it takes twenty minutes and prevents most disputes.
We place domestic help across the city — Rajpur Road, Dalanwala, Clement Town, Race Course, GMS Road, Ballupur, Sahastradhara Road, Vasant Vihar, Patel Nagar and surrounding areas. We also serve Haridwar, Rishikesh and Mussoorie.
Tell us your area when you call. For live-out arrangements travel distance is one of the biggest reasons placements fail, so we match someone who can reach you easily.
Winter changes the work — laundry that will not dry, heating safety, the woollen changeover, and timings that shift with the fog. Winter home care in Dehradun covers what to plan for.

An 8 hrs helper is usually ₹11,000–₹15,000 a month, a 10 hrs full-time helper ₹14,000–₹18,000, and live-in help ₹16,000–₹22,000 plus meals and accommodation. It depends on house size, hours, the work involved and experience, and the exact figure is confirmed before anyone starts.
A maid is task-based — sweeping, mopping, dishes, laundry and bathrooms, usually in eight hours. Full-time domestic help is household-based: cooking alongside the cleaning, groceries, kitchen management, and support with children or elderly members. Both start at eight hours a day on a monthly basis; we do not place staff by the hour or for one-off work.
Yes. A live-in helper stays at your home with meals and accommodation provided alongside the salary, and is available through the day. Settle the room, meals and weekly off in writing before day one — these three things are what make or break a live-in placement.
Every helper completes Aadhaar verification, permanent address confirmation, police verification and a previous employer reference check before placement, and you can ask to see the documents. If the helper is not right for your family, we arrange a replacement at no extra charge — you do not restart the search and you do not pay a second time.
Across the city, including Rajpur Road, Dalanwala, Clement Town, Race Course, GMS Road, Ballupur and Sahastradhara Road, as well as Haridwar, Rishikesh and Mussoorie. Most families receive matched profiles within 48 hours of calling.
