Key points

Parcels and responsibility

The worker receives and keeps parcels in a dry, safe place, without opening them, and hands them to you with confirmation. Agree in advance what may be accepted: a cash-on-delivery parcel, a delivery not in your name or a package of unknown origin is not accepted. Fragile or valuable parcels are flagged in the request.

Keys, access and confidentiality

Hand the keys over in person, with a written list of what is allowed, and take them back at the end: no copies are made. Alarm codes are given to one person only and changed afterwards if needed. The worker invites nobody and posts nothing about your home; on your side, avoid announcing your absence on social media.

What affects the price

length of the absence;
frequency of visits;
tasks requested;
distance;
presence of animals or many plants.

The rate is agreed with the worker based on these elements.
