A standard advertisement for a househelp mentions a number of qualifications. Age, experience, proof of citizenship in the form of an original ID and, usually, a list of the specific jobs he/she will be expected to carry out. Cooking, cleaning, looking after the kids and others.
What most advertisers fail to mention is the silent qualification, a feature of most households and the worst-kept secret in domestic management: if you’re applying for the job of a househelp, you must be ready to deal with a potentially randy employer.
