Sharing a helper between family portions: duties and supervision
When relatives share a household helper, agree responsibilities between the employers before assigning work. One worker should not have to resolve competing family expectations.

Define the household scope
List which rooms, portions and people are included in the placement. Explain whether meals, laundry and errands are shared or separate. Two nearby portions can still create two full routines. The candidate needs the complete picture before agreeing to salary and hours, rather than discovering additional households after joining.
Choose one coordinating contact
Agree who sets the daily priorities and who can approve a change. Other residents can communicate needs through that person or an agreed request system. This reduces contradictory instructions and makes it easier to identify tasks outside the brief. The coordinator should also handle the regular review of workload.
Allocate time around actual demand
Compare fixed meal times, laundry deadlines and periods when rooms are occupied. A simple schedule can show whether tasks overlap. If everyone needs service at once, adjust expectations or consider additional help. Avoid dividing time equally on paper when one portion has substantially more work; discuss the actual duties instead.
Keep salary and feedback clear
Decide privately how the household funds the salary, then give the worker one clear payment arrangement and pay date. Feedback should refer to agreed responsibilities rather than different personal standards emerging each day. If family circumstances change, revisit the scope with the worker and Staffly before expanding the placement.
A practical example to adapt
Example coordination rule: relatives send next-day requests to one household contact, who checks them against the agreed duties and available hours. Urgent changes go through the same person. If a new room or recurring task is added, the coordinator discusses the workload with the helper before confirming it. This creates a clear relationship between the work requested and the person responsible for approving it, even when several family members benefit.
