India's first verified
helper rating platform
Every helper confirmed with police verification, Aadhaar, and prior-employer references. Every review from a verified household. Rankings based on trust — never money.
✦ ✦ ✦
“Verified hands. Trusted homes.”
— Our Promise
Three things no other platform in India can say
We verified your helper with police records.
Every helper on this platform has been confirmed against local thana police verification, Aadhaar, address proof, and prior-employer references. Identity, background, and address — all cross-checked before they appear in your search.
We verified your household.
Every reviewing household confirms phone identity via OTP. For high-stakes reviews, we request employment proof — UPI salary receipt, society pass, or attendance log. Anonymous to the helper, never anonymous to us.
We never sell rankings.
The helper at the top of your search results is there because households rated them well — not because an agency paid for placement. This is a stated policy, not a quiet promise.
— The Problem
Existing systems fail both sides
Brokers, society WhatsApp groups, BookMyBai, and UrbanCompany were not built for trust. They were built for commission, vanity, or paid promotion. That incentive mismatch means households cannot verify who they're letting in — and helpers cannot escape unfair reputations they didn't earn.
On WhatsApp, UrbanCompany, brokers
What households face today
- Brokers and dalals charge ₹15,000+ commissions with no accountability
- No way to verify a helper's past work or police record before hiring
- WhatsApp society groups recycle the same unverified contacts
- UrbanCompany hides who paid for "top-rated" placement
- Theft, no-shows, and abandonment with zero recourse
- No structured way to know what a previous family actually thought
On every existing channel
What helpers face today
- Brokers take 30–50% of your first month's salary as commission
- A bad ex-employer can spread WhatsApp rumours that destroy your reputation
- No way to carry your good track record from one household to the next
- Aggregators bury you unless you accept low pay and rigid hours
- No platform gives you a voice when a complaint is unfair
- You feel disposable, replaceable, and exposed on every channel

maidrating.in is built to fix both.
Every design decision — from police verification to service parameters to the right-to-respond — exists to serve the household that needs honest information and the helper who deserves a fair platform and a portable reputation.
— How It Works
Simple for households.
Fair for helpers.
Search by skill, hours & locality
Find verified cooks, cleaners, nannies, and elder-care helpers in your colony. Every helper listed is police-verified and reference-checked.
Read structured, verified reviews
See ratings across 7 specific service-quality parameters — from punctuality to honesty to communication — all from verified prior employers.
Hire with confidence
Rankings are based purely on household satisfaction scores. No paid placements. The most-trusted helper comes first.
Get verified — free
Submit Aadhaar, police verification, address proof, prior-employer reference, and a liveness selfie. Verification is free for helpers. Most are verified in 5–7 working days.
Respond before reviews go live
You have a 7-day window to read and respond to any new review before it is published. No other platform in India offers this protection.
Build a portable reputation
Your "Trusted Helper" badge follows you across employers. Your good record earns better pay, longer contracts, and direct hires — without paying broker commissions.
— Why We're Different
How we compare
Not a modest improvement. A fundamentally different approach.
| Feature | UrbanCompany | Brokers | maidrating.in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Helper verification | Self-declared only | Verbal claim, no proof | Police + Aadhaar + reference — mandatory |
| Household verification | None for reviews | None | OTP + employment proof |
| Paid ranking | Yes — promoted slots | Whoever pays commission | Never. Stated publicly. |
| Helper right-to-respond | No reply mechanism | No platform exists | Yes — 7-day pre-publication window |
| Service rating parameters | Generic 5-star + tip | Word-of-mouth only | 7 specific service-quality parameters |
| Portable reputation | Locked to platform | Lost on every switch | Yes — track record stays with helper |
— Rating System
7 parameters. All observable. None about caste, religion, or appearance.
Generic 5-star ratings are useless and unfair. We measure what households can fairly evaluate — punctuality, honesty, communication, hygiene, task coverage, treatment of family, and salary transparency. We never measure things that have no place in employment: caste, religion, appearance, or personal life.
No. 01
Punctuality
“Did the helper arrive on time and stay for the agreed hours?”
Most observable, most common complaint
No. 02
Honesty & Trust
“Were valuables, cash, and household items handled with full integrity?”
The single biggest household concern
No. 03
Personal Hygiene
“Did the helper maintain clean attire, hand-washing, and grooming standards?”
Observable; affects every household interaction
No. 04
Communication
“Was the helper able to follow instructions and ask clearly when unsure?”
Critical for safety, especially with kids and elders
No. 05
Task Coverage
“Were the agreed tasks (cooking, cleaning, childcare, etc.) completed thoroughly?”
Distinguishes effort from box-ticking
No. 06
Treatment of Family
“Was the helper kind, patient, and respectful — especially with children and elders?”
The thing that decides whether you keep a helper
No. 07
Salary Transparency
“Was the agreed wage paid in full, on time, with no hidden cuts to brokers?”
Held against household — protects helper, builds trust
✦ ✦ ✦
Not rated
“Caste, religion, region, or surname.”
“Appearance, language, or personal life.”
These have no place in evaluating a person's work
— Two Sides, One Platform
Free for helpers. Fair for households.
Helpers shouldn't have to pay to be trusted. Verification is free for every helper — funded by household memberships, never by the people doing the work. Your good track record stays with you, across every household you serve.
