In finding reliable good help, a trusted interpreter will become especially useful. If you are building rentals, hotels, or condos, getting acquainted with the neighborhood will be essential to find reliable and trustworthy domestic help. Acquainting yourself with the neighbors, other local investors and businesses is the best advice for those looking to find. Posting signs can also be a good way to generate leads. After you have a list of potential applicants you can pre-screen and then conduct thorough interviews. Be sure to ask for references and check the references personally as trusted local knowledge is your best gauge (no background checks here).

Mexican law requires one day off of work a week. Be sure to discuss exact terms with your maids and domestic workers. It is important that all arrangements are clearly understood before work begins. Most workers expect to be provided with medical care and a space for their children if you have on-site quarters. Payment for most daily workers is every 15 days. Many workers also expect pay in times of financial hardship.
