Wouldn’t it be wonderful, after a tiring day at work, to come back home to see that your house is neatly kept, your favourite food is on the table, your electricity, and other bills are paid off? Thanks to the service providers who support working professionals with all kinds of errand runners to attend to all types of household routines, this scenario is now a reality.

Though this service has been a hit among the working parents, here are some common questions that arise when someone is hiring an errand service:

What exactly is an errand service?This service is nothing but an external support to take care of your everyday needs. Example: grocery shopping, babysitting, house cleaning and any other routine task which can be delegated.

How does this service work?Considering the growing need for assistance in performing the day to day activities for busy parents, especially working professionals, service providers have launched a service where trained individuals can run errands for you. All you have to do is use their online service or mobile app to book the service. The service provider will send the right person for your chores and routines. With technology at your service, all you need to do is login, assign a task and relax.

Why bother if the task is so small anyway?Lifestyle and women empowerment have ensured that both parents are at work. But the family still needs to be run. In such a situation, it is very difficult for these busy parents to achieve a work-life balance without some kind of a credible and regular help. Small tasks add up to become huge time-eating monsters and leave you with little or no quality time to spend with each other or with kids.

Consider this,

1. As you both are away, you can be assured that your house is cleaned, your child picked up from the school (if he/she is old enough). Or the baby is taken care at the house.

2. Couples crave for some peaceful private time, after having a child. Because your household works are sorted, you tend to get your leisure post a tiring day which you can spend with either your children, friends or with each other.

3. Parents can have a routine like Yoga, Jogging, Zumba etc., to achieve good health and even include their kids into it.

4. Because you have someone at home taking care of your house, you can be stress-free and focus on your work. Also, you can be assured that in case if there are any electric, plumbing or any other facility issues, you have a person who would not only identify it but also call the concerned person and rectify it.

But, is it safe?Though the benefits of hiring an errand are obvious, the fact that at the end of the day it is an external support, the fear that whether it is safe to opt one or not always pops up.

Here are some pointers for hiring a safe errand service:

All the professionals hired should be trained and hired after a thorough background check.

All these professionals are under employment agreement and strictly follow the rules of privacy and loyalty.

The employer company holds the guarantee of the errand runner who is being assigned to a client.

Since it is hard to do all the above on your own, parents can rely on aggregators like Jugaad.ae who pre-screen errand runners before assigning them to you.
