How can I hire a domestic helper or nanny in Phuket, and what should I expect in terms of costs and agencies?

Hiring a domestic helper or nanny in Phuket can differ significantly from Singapore. While some expats have found connections through local expat groups, there are also resources like Phuketall.com that cater to families needing trained staff. It may be necessary to post in Thai for better responses, especially if looking for assistance that goes beyond just basic tasks. The experience of other expats regarding costs and agency recommendations varies, and it's noted that many helpers come from esteemed hotels, ensuring a higher standard of service.
