Only on Khaya Solutions

Things no one else gives you

The stuff that actually keeps your home running — and treats workers right.

Sick-day backup cover

If your regular worker is ever sick or away, we send a vetted stand-in the same day. Emergency rate R299/day — or no call-out fee with Khaya Solutions Care.

Fair-Work Guarantee

Every worker is guaranteed fair pay, on time, a real contract and safe conditions — or we step in. We're the only ones who protect the worker too.

90-day rematch

If the fit isn't right, we find you a better match — free, within your guarantee period.

After you're matched

We don't just match & vanish

A good placement is only the start. We check in with both sides — so the fit works, the work stays fair, and everyone stays happy.

First-week call

A few days in, we call both the family and the worker to make sure the fit feels right from the start.

Regular check-ins

A quick message both ways — is everyone happy, is the pay and treatment fair, anything we can fix?

Both sides rate

Employers rate workers and workers rate employers — so any problem gets spotted early, not after it blows up.

Not clicking? We rematch

If the fit isn't right, we step in and find a better match — free, within your guarantee period.

Safety, seriously

We check, so you don't have to worry.

Before anyone shows up on Khaya Solutions, they pass a proper, multi-step vetting process. Because this is your home, your kids, your gran. No corners cut. Ever. Our criminal checks run through AFISwitch — the system accredited to search the official SAPS criminal database.

See how we vet →
  • Criminal record check via AFISwitch (SAPS database)
  • ID verified against Home Affairs
  • Live selfie + ID photo match
  • Real reference calls completed
  • Sex-offender register check for childcare roles
  • Re-vetted every year

How workers earn trust

Verified Background Checked Trusted Worker Gold Status Emergency-Ready

Workers level up through ratings, reliability, completed training and clean check-ins — so the best rise to the top, and you can see exactly how trusted someone is at a glance.

  • Proper, BCEA-compliant contracts
  • Fair pay, agreed up front
  • Help registering for UIF
  • Safe conditions & reasonable hours
  • Workers rate employers too
  • Report mistreatment — we act on it
Dignity, always

Safety works both ways.

Workers are people, not chores. Every person on Khaya Solutions is treated with respect — fair pay, real contracts, safe working conditions and reasonable hours. No exploitation, nobody treated like a servant. Khaya Solutions only works when work is fair, and the good employers want exactly that.

Add Khaya Solutions Care

👋 Workers always join free

It's 100% free for workers to apply, get verified and find work. We only charge for the criminal check at cost — and help you get it. We never take a cut of your wages. Ever.

Fair pay, in the open

What's a fair wage?

We publish honest rate guides so workers aren't lowballed and families know what's fair. Every rate sits above the national minimum wage of R30.23/hour.

Nanny / au pairR40–R150/hr
Cleaner / housekeeperR35–R100/hr
GardenerR35–R120/hr
Elderly carerR50–R250/hr
DriverR40–R300/hr
Pet careR40–R150/hr
Home fixer / tradeR80–R350/hr
Minimum wage (legal floor)R30.23/hr

These are typical hourly wages the worker earns — separate from Khaya Solutions's once-off placement fee. Final pay is always agreed between you and the worker, in a proper BCEA contract.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Browsing is free, and it is completely free for workers to apply and get verified. Employers only pay a placement fee when you successfully hire someone.
We check in with both sides after every placement. If the fit isn't right, we step in and find you a better match — free, within your guarantee period. You're never stuck.
We call both the family and the worker in the first week, then send quick check-in messages both ways — making sure everyone's happy, the pay and treatment are fair, and catching any problem early.
With Khaya Solutions Care you are covered — if your regular worker is sick or away, we send you a vetted stand-in the same day so your home keeps running. Emergency cover is R299/day — or free to arrange with Khaya Solutions Care (you just pay the stand-in's daily wage). No scrambling, no lost workday.
Every worker passes an AFISwitch criminal-record check against the live SAPS database, Home Affairs ID verification, a live selfie match and real reference calls. Anyone working with children is also checked against the National Register for Sex Offenders.
Fair pay (at least the national minimum wage), proper BCEA contracts, help registering for UIF, safe working conditions, and the right to rate employers. No exploitation, ever.
