MARVELLOUS MAIDS - DOMESTIC WORKERS,
FOURWAYS
About Us
Having been successfully running since 1998, and having placed thousands of domestic workers in all aspects of domestic work, we pride ourselves in being the top domestic agency in the country.
By no means do we assure that finding somebody to work in your home, close to your family, in your personal life and space is easy, it’s not. Because of this, we bring total transparency to all our dealings, with clients and candidates, we don’t cut corners, we don’t bend the law. We don’t make promises and representations that we can’t back up, just to make the deal.
Our placement fee includes a three month warranty, which gives one plenty of time to find the right person, should the initial, or even second choice, not work out, for whatever reason. Commisioning our services is totally free, and should you not find a suitable candidate through us, no fee is payable. Only once we have sourced somebody with whom you are happy, and a job offer made, do we charge. And our service doesn’t stop there. From assisting with contracts and UIF registrations, to on-going advice, we remain committed to ensuring a successful placement.
Permanent Placements
One of South Africa’s favourite topics of conversation revolves around domestic workers and how good they are, how bad; shocking stories and urban legends reverberate through book club teas, ladies lunching and dinner parties in the suburbs. Here, at Marvellous Maids, we think we have heard them all, until we are bowled over by yet another tale which demonstrates our reliance on the women (and men!) who free up our energies by cooking, cleaning and looking after our children. But why use an agency? Aren’t they very expensive?
Yes, cost is certainly a factor; however, consider the cost of a bad placement, or an untried, untested and worst of all unknown person let loose in your home. At Marvellous Maids we have strict selection criteria, taking into consideration the worker’s past with special reference to honesty, reliability and attitude as well as domestic skills. Of the approximately 20 people who come into each of the Marvellous Maids offices each day, perhaps only 2, or 3 will be registered.
References are not only checked and scrutinized, but investigated as well. Referees are closely questioned and their truthfulness tested with the experience of years and years of registering and placing domestic workers. A tailor made data base alerts us to workers who have behaved dishonestly or badly in the past. Both applicants available for permanent placement and those on our char team are subjected to the same scrutiny.
In doing placements Marvellous Maids operates as any other recruitment agency and introduces you to suitable candidates and charges a fee. In addition we assist our clients with a placement package consisting of everything from the contract, an induction form, pay slip book, cleaning schedule and other information designed to make the employment process as easy and painless as possible.

Our Values
Marvellous Maids was established in 1998. We strive to bring professionalism to an industry filled with misconceptions and exploitation, and to a large part, we have succeeded in that. We have developed a reputation, not only in the Cape where we began, but all over the country, that is synonymous with quality service, superior advice, and of course, staff of the highest calibre.
