Household Help — District 7
Household help in Ho Chi Minh City on vServe: cleaning, laundry, cooking, childcare, and elder care by the hour, session, or month. Prices are listed upfront, booking is instant, and you choose the helper that fits your needs.
Industry overview
Household help on vServe covers home cleaning, laundry, cooking, childcare and elder or patient care at home in Ho Chi Minh City. Prices start at 55,000 VND per hour, 220,000 VND per session, 350,000 VND per day, or 5,500,000 VND per month, all listed upfront with no hidden fees.
When to book hourly, per-session, or monthly household help
If you only need cleaning two or three times a week, occasional laundry, or a few hours of childcare in the afternoon, hourly booking (55,000-80,000 VND/hour, 60-minute minimum) is flexible with no commitment. If your household needs help every day, a monthly package (from 5,500,000 VND for 26 sessions) is usually cheaper than paying per session and saves you from rebooking daily. Families with young children or elderly members needing continuous supervision should consider a monthly nanny or elder-care package instead of booking single days.
Live-out vs. live-in help: what's the difference
Live-out helpers work fixed hours and go home afterward, suiting families who want to keep their privacy; this starts at 6,500,000 VND/month for 26 sessions of 4 hours each. Live-in helpers stay at your home, which is convenient if you need support outside office hours or overnight, starting at 8,500,000 VND/month; 24/7 live-in elder care starts at 9,500,000 VND/month. Before choosing live-in help, arrange a private room and agree clearly on rest hours and days off to avoid conflicts later.
How booking works on vServe
Pick the service you need - cleaning, cooking, childcare, elder care - check the fixed price and duration already listed in the catalog, then book instantly without waiting for a custom quote. After booking, the provider confirms the schedule and comes to your address in Ho Chi Minh City. For monthly packages, discuss the exact working schedule (days off, hours) directly with the assigned helper before the first session.
Verification and safety: what vServe does and does not do
vServe verifies the identity of individual or business providers through their tax code or business registration certificate, but it does NOT run criminal background checks or cross-check providers against any government registry. For recurring in-home services like monthly or live-in help, you should ask to see their ID card yourself, request references, and interview them in person before hiring - especially if your home has young children or elderly family members.
Post-surgery patient care and elder care: when you need nursing experience
Hourly childcare or care for a healthy elderly person (60,000-65,000 VND/hour) doesn't require a medical background. But daily post-surgery patient care at home (500,000 VND/day, 10 hours) requires someone experienced in monitoring wounds, giving medication on time, and assisting with light movement. When booking this service, ask about the assigned caregiver's patient-care experience and share the patient's specific condition in advance.

Frequently asked questions
How much does hourly household help cost on vServe?
Hourly rates range from 55,000 to 80,000 VND depending on the task: laundry is 55,000 VND, childcare is 60,000 VND, elder care is 65,000 VND, and house cleaning starts at 60,000 VND rising to 80,000 VND when cooking, laundry or after-hours work is added. Each booking has a 60-minute minimum, and prices are listed upfront so you know the exact cost before booking, with no extra fees added.
Is monthly household help cheaper than daily booking?
Yes, if you need regular help. For example, daily help at 350,000 VND/day for 26 days totals 9,100,000 VND, while a monthly live-out package (26 sessions of 4 hours) costs only 6,500,000 VND. On the other hand, if you only need a few sessions a month, booking by the day or session is cheaper since you don't pay for days you don't use.
Does vServe check criminal records or professional licenses of household helpers?
No. vServe only verifies the identity of individual or business providers through their tax code or business registration certificate; it does not check criminal records or cross-reference any government list. For helpers who will be in your home regularly (monthly or live-in), you should ask to see their ID card yourself, check references, and interview them in person before hiring.
Is live-in help safe, and who's responsible if something goes missing?
vServe is a connecting platform, not a direct employer, so civil liability for incidents like loss or damage is a matter between you and the provider. Before letting someone live in, agree in writing on working hours, living arrangements, and take inventory of valuables in your home, especially high-value items.
Do hourly childcare and elder care require professional qualifications?
For healthy children or elderly people who don't need special medical care, no formal qualification is required, just practical experience. But for post-surgery patient care at home, book the dedicated service (500,000 VND/day) with someone experienced in wound monitoring and timely medication, rather than a regular elder-care package.
Should I book by the hour, a 4-hour session, or a full day?
Book by the hour from 60,000 VND/hour when you only need one or two areas tidied quickly before guests arrive. The 4-hour session at 220,000 VND costs about 10-15% less than the same hours booked separately and covers all main areas, which suits weekly recurring cleaning. The 8-hour day at 350,000 VND is for days when you need cleaning, laundry and cooking together - a family gathering, or when your regular helper is away. If you need a team bringing equipment for a top-to-bottom deep clean, that is deep cleaning, under the Cleaning & Housekeeping industry.
Can I book household help urgently on the same day through vServe?
Yes. Household help services on vServe use instant booking, with prices and durations already fixed, so you can book and get confirmed quickly without waiting for a custom quote - useful when you need help urgently in Ho Chi Minh City.
What should I do if the helper doesn't show up or is late?
Report it right away through the vServe system so you can be helped to contact the provider or find a replacement. Since vServe is a connecting platform rather than a direct staffing agency, cancellation, rescheduling, and refund matters follow each provider's own policy, so read the terms carefully before booking, especially for monthly packages.
