To use a child care or call onother personal services, you can use a direct job, that is become employer.

As an individual employer, you must meet certain obligations related to your status (registration, declaration of employee, payment of social contributions, employment contract, remuneration, source sampling, etc.).

To employ child care or other personal services in your home, you can use a agency or agent.

If you use an agency, you retain the status of employer. You are the one who controls the performance of your employee's work and who pays the salary.

If you use a service provider, it is the employer of the workers at your home.
