Between work, family and a home to keep running, having reliable help with household chores changes your days, giving you back time for what really matters. On ColfItalia.com you'll find hundreds of verified housekeeper profiles in your area, with real reviews left by other families who have already chosen them for a few hours a week or a more regular commitment: you can compare the tasks offered, experience and hourly rate before writing your first message. A collaboration that works almost always starts with clear expectations from the outset: knowing exactly what the service includes avoids misunderstandings in the following weeks.
Housekeeper or caretaker: what is the difference
A housekeeper looks after the running of the home from the inside: cleaning, laundry, ironing, shopping and, in some cases, cooking, with a time commitment ranging from a few hours a week to full time depending on the family's needs. A caretaker has a different role, more tied to the surveillance and minor maintenance of a building or property, and sometimes lives on site in service accommodation. If you need help with the day-to-day running of your home, you are looking for a housekeeper; if you need surveillance and maintenance of a property or apartment building, you are looking for a caretaker. Some families with a large house or a second home choose to rely on both, in distinct and complementary roles. The type of commitment also varies a lot: some look for a housekeeper for a big periodic clean, others prefer a regular presence several times a week for ordinary management.
How the search works
Enter your area, the weekly hours required and the specific tasks — cleaning, ironing, cooking, shopping. You receive matching housekeeper profiles, with declared experience in similar tasks, up-to-date availability and verifiable references from families they have worked with before. You can also say whether you prefer a fixed day each week or more flexibility in the schedule. Many profiles also list additional skills, such as professional ironing or minor sewing, useful if you are looking for more complete help.
Verified Profile and Contact Pass
Every profile with the Verified Profile badge has passed an identity check. With the Contact Pass you write directly to the housekeeper you are interested in, with no intermediaries and no listings that have sat unanswered for months. Searching, comparing and reading reviews remains free.
Contract and the national collective agreement (CCNL) for housekeepers and caregivers
Even for a commitment of just a few hours a week, it is good practice to formalise the arrangement with a contract under the national collective agreement (CCNL) for housekeepers and caregivers, which sets the classification level, minimum hourly pay, holidays and thirteenth-month pay, protecting both parties. Make the required tasks clear from the interview onwards, along with access to the house keys and the handling of any pets present, to avoid misunderstandings from the very first day of work. It is also worth clarifying in advance which cleaning products will be used, whether supplied by the family or by the housekeeper, to avoid small practical misunderstandings. A good working relationship is also built on small things: punctuality, clear communication when something unexpected happens and mutual respect for the agreed hours, along with a willingness to speak openly if something is not working as planned.
