Frequently Asked Questions
Our verification process helps, but you should also: conduct video interviews, check references independently, start with a trial period, and have a trusted local contact (relative, neighbor, community member) meet them first.
Most families use Wise (formerly TransferWise), PayPal, direct bank transfer, or cash via relatives in Sri Lanka. Discuss and agree on payment method directly with the professional.
