Homely connects domestic workers to clients and ensures good working conditions for them.

In Mexico, 98.3% of domestic workers have no access to social security, 99.2% don’t even have a formal contract and 71.3% don’t receive any benefits apart from their salary. All these factors contribute to the fact that only 10.6% of the families of these domestic workers can be considered to be out of poverty conditions.

Homely wants to give domestic workers, whom they call ‘Keepers’ a safe, steady, and fair job by connecting them with clients and backing them up to ensure good working conditions. This is achieved with two types of collaborations called "Independent Keepers" and "Full-Time Keepers":

  • Independent Keepers can decide the days and hours she or he will be working for the households subscribed to Homely. They are provided with private health insurance, job contracts, tax guidance, and financial inclusion process in the formal economy, and their income is ensured to be above the Mexican minimum wage
