Household help in the spotlight

About our household help

Nathalie Vandorpe

I have been part of this fantastic team for six years now and I can honestly say that I feel great in my role as a domestic household help.

My clients are mainly elderly people, all lovely people with whom I have built a strong, personal relationship. To have that personal connection is crucial for me. It is where I get my satisfaction, the feeling that I make a difference, that I am really helping people. Because I come by and help them every week, they can live longer at home and they have an added weekly social contact. This also takes away some of the burden from their families. Developing such a trusted bond as you visit your customers cannot be underestimated.

Before this job, I worked in a clinic but I was looking for something else for a while, a job without shifts or weekend work, with a fixed schedule.

Essential because I have a second freelance job on the side. And then suddenly I saw your job vacancy advert. It was so easy to apply: in just a few clicks, I had filled in my details and launched my application. During the introductory interview, I immediately felt the company's warm, friendly spirit and knew I would feel right at home here.

And indeed, at the Daenens family I found the stability I was looking for.

I work in the mornings for Daenens and use my free afternoons for my secondary freelance job. For six years now, I can proudly say that I have enjoyed going to work every single day. Every visit to my clients feels like coming home and I always leave them with a good feeling.’

I really love my job. Because of my household help, my elderly clients can stay and live at home for longer, I feel part of a close-knit team and my stable work schedule allows time for my secondary freelance job too!
