Happy Home is a domestic recruitment agency and the majority of our candidates come from the Philippines with many having families still living there and we think it's only right to give back to those who have worked so hard for us throughout the years.

We are asking you to give a donation no matter how big or small to aid those affected by the terrible floods, in hope to provide support to those who need it most.

Cheeky Monkies Tea Party

2011-07-12T16:07:00.006+01:00

Remember Christmas 2010? When we decorated cookies for charity at the NCT Christmas fare? Yes! Well we did it again for the NCT Cheeky Monkeys Tea Party hosted by NCT at The Park Club. This time we got children to decorate lollipop cookies.

Renata and I made a total of 80 cookies for the children to decorate with yummy treats such as marsh mellows, smarties and hundreds of thousands.

Although it was very windy and we had issues with items being blown away from our tables children flocked to us to decorate these yummy cookies. Once the cookies were decorated we packaged them away for the children to take home so it didn't interfere with their dinner or to give to their Daddies.

We were very pleased with the afternoon and raised considerably more for the NCT than last time!

Candidates Favourite Agency!

2011-04-13T16:54:00.004+01:00

When we decided to do the agency survey we thougt it would be a good idea to find out which agency candidates favoured. We know many of the candidates we have use other agencies so we thought we'd get some interesting results. We sent the survey to all the candidates that have ever registered with us, whether they ende up using us or not, and we got a fair response. We asked candidates what agency was their favourite and asked them why. We listed 8 agencies which are based in London including ourselves. From the results we have gained we are very proud to annouce that candidates favourite agency is.......................................

HAPPY HOME STAFF LTD

We came in on top with a massive 45.5% of the vote!

Here are some of the reasons why candidates favour us.............

"I have been introduced by a friend and she recommended the agency as the best one"

"They are very kind, look after very well the employees and try best to find a job"

"They are the only one who really paid attention to what I'm saying"

"I have had a good experience with this agency. I have been to this agency in connection with my job and it showed me direction"

"Happy Home Staff pay rate is good, they pay on time, they have monthly meetings, they give time to their employees and understand everything, which is very good, they send emails about new jobs and I really enjoyed my job with this agency. Thanx to Happy Home"

"Even that you did not get a job for me, you are very friendly, something that is very important to make people feel good"

We are very pleased that our candidates feel this way about us and we are going to continue and improve our service!

Agency Survey Results!

2011-04-13T16:32:00.004+01:00

For a few weeks we saw a drop in the amount of applicants applying for our jobs so we thought we would investigate. We put together a survey of questions asking candidates how they look for jobs, their experience with agencies, what days of the week they look for jobs and so on. We put this together so we can find out the best way to target candidates and we got some interesting results. We sent the survey to every candidate who has ever registered with us ranging from not suitable to placed candidates. Of course not everyone completed the survey but we did get a fair amount of people who took part. We found out that candidates are still mostly looking for jobs through agencies but they found their last or current jobs through friends who have recommended them to families. Although many candidates rated their experience with agencies as excellent most of them rated their experience as good. Which is making us think of ways we could make their experiences different. We have always thought that candidates looked for jobs over the weekend and have mainly advertised every Friday. From the candidates who completed the survey the results show that Monday is the most popular day for searching for jobs with Saturday coming a close second. Our results show that Sunday is the least popular day for searching for jobs. We already knew that candidates recommend friends for jobs and to join agencies,our results showed that this is correct. Interestingly candidates also recommend families to join agencies to search for employees. With candidates recommending friends and families they have worked for to join agencies there seems to be a lot of work to be done all round to attract candidates and make their experiences better. It has given us food for thought! Watch this space for the results of candidates favourite agency!

2011-04-08T16:10:00.005+01:00

Happy Home Testimonials

2011-03-03T15:54:00.004Z

Over the last couple of weeks we have received some nice testimonials from our Clients and Candidates and we thought we'd share the love.......

From Clients......................

"Thank you so much, we are delighted. Thank you for all your help. We have, again, been terribly impressed with your efficiency, professionalism and commitment"

"Thank you for all your previous help. It has always been a pleasure talking to you and you have always been so helpful in trying to find me help."

"As you know, I initially contacted your agency because it offers CRB checks on nannies even when those nannies have been found privately and not through Happy Home Staff.

When discussing matters with you you provide some useful advice and kindly offered to send (and did send) details of some of the nannies who are on your books. Those nannies' details all looked impressive but, as I have managed to find a nanny privately this weekend, we do not need to interview any of them.

Nevertheless, I wish to thank you for your efforts and to praise the level of service. My wife has had dealings with some other agencies who were far less efficient. Should we need an agency to help find us a nanny I would have no hesitation in contacting you" - Dated 15/08/2011

"Thank you so much for finding me Cecilia and for all your support it's been lovely to work with you# - Dated 23/08/2011

From Candidates................

"I love your Agency - and I can see why you have made it so successful!!"

"I would love to come and meet you but I'm am working until late. I really want to meet you because you were very nice and helpful on the phone. From you i've never heard i'm in competition with much more experienced people like other agencies told me. Thank You!"

It's always good to hear something nice so we will keep you posted with anymore.

Pretty in Pink at the NCT Chiswick Christmas Fare!

2010-12-29T16:34:00.006Z

Despite the snow and icy conditions Happy Home successfully completed our Arctic adventure to Chiswick Townhall for the NCT Chiswick Christmas Fare.

We had a long hard think of a fun and interesting activity that children would enjoy doing. As it was Christmas we finally decided on decorating Christmas cookies and us being the charitable bunch we are we decided not to charge for the activity but to ask for donations. The cookies were made at home by Renata using the same recipe we used for the cookies we made for our candidates.

The doors opened at 2:30pm and the hours flew by in a haze of children and stickiness. We only had a few small breaks to try and clean up before more children headed our way.At 5pm it was time to shut up shop and clean the stickiness away.

We arrived with 5 boxes of cookies and left with 1 and a donation cup totalling £18 which we consider a success!

Remeber the Christmas cookies we made?

2010-12-10T16:06:00.002Z

Well here's the recipe to make some yummy cookies yourself.

What you will need:

350g of treacle
225g of dark brown soft sugar
150ml of cold water
50g of butter
900g of plain flour
1 tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of all spice
1 tablespoon of ground ginger
1 teaspoon of ground cloves
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
Christmas cookie cutters of your choice
Decorations of your choice

What you will need to do:

1. Preheat the oven to 180 C/ Gas mark 4 and lightly grease the baking tray (or cover the tray with grease proof paper)

2. Mix the treacle, brown sugar, water and butter together.

3. Sift together the flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt and all spices. Then add the sugar mixture and mix well. Make it into a ball, cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.

4. Then you will need to roll the dough to about 5cm thick on a floured surface. Cut with the Christmas cookie cutters and repeat until all the dough is used up. Put the shapes on to the baking tray and bake for 10 to 12 minutes.

5. Let them cool and then let the decoration commence!

Hopes yours turn out as yummy as ours!

Need some advice on what to give your Nanny/Housekeeper to celebrate the holiday season?

2010-12-10T15:28:00.002Z

Are you thing about giving a gift or a holiday bonus but unsure on what to give? We have some suggestions which maybe able to help you.

If your Nanny/Houskeeper has been with you for some time it would be nice to give a gift and a bonus. Or if you have only recently hired your Nanny/Housekeeper a gift would be ideal. It is nice for you to acknowledge them even if its a small gesture.

Now the big question............. How much should I give as a bonus?

We suggest the bonus should be equivalent to a weeks pay if your Nanny/Housekeeper has been with you for 1 to 3 years. If they have been with you over 3 years we suggest a bonus that is equivalent to 2 weeks pay.

The holiday season is about giving; showing people close to you that you appreciate them. Your appreciation cannot always be measured by the gift you give but like the saying goes it's the thought that counts.

Happy Home 'Lady of the Year' 2010

2010-12-06T21:05:00.004Z

At Happy Home every year we ask every client who we have placed a candidate with it they would like to nominate them for 'Lady/Gentleman of the Year' and present the awards during our annual Christmas Party. This year was no different and we were inundated with nominations. After a good couple of days deciding and then re-deciding who would win we got some last minute nominations just to make the decision that much harder.

There were 2 people who stood out amongst them all so we decided to have a runner up as well as a winner.
Just to give you an idea of how hard it was to decide who the runner up should be here's what the employer said about her.

"Everybody always says that having a child is the most amazing event of one's life, but no one ever talks about how hard it is to trust your most precious gem with someone else.

As a first time mother who has a demanding city job as a broker and manager, I didn't have the luxury of much time off. This meant that at just 3 months old, I had to trust someone else with my little love full time.

Enter our angel!

I first met her when I was 6 months pregnant and I knew immediately she was the person I could trust my little son with. My instinct has always served me well and it didn't disappoint this time.....

She started with us the next month as a nanny/housekeeper because I felt it was crucial I get to know her before my baby was born.

She's been there every step of the way. Pre birth to his birth and now 9 months later.

Our excitement as parents when he reaches each milestone is always equal to hers! She takes pride in him like he's her own. She never lets him out of her sight. She showers him with love and attention. She is warm, kind, funny, easygoing and hardworking....but most of all I trust her.

She is now part of our family and my son would not be the confident smiley baby he is today if it weren't for her.

No one deserves this award more......."

Happy Home are pleased to announce that Malinie Hewavitharange is our runner up of 'Lady of the Year'! Well done Mali!!!!

Now on to the winner of the coveted 'Lady of the Year' award.........

This announcement was met by tears as our 'Lady of the Year' started to cry as soon as she realised that it was her we were talking about. Us being the sensitive lot we all soon followed her lead and had tears in our eyes as she said a very tearful acceptance speech. Here's what her employer said about her that made us say she's the one!

"Last year not only did she help look after our daughters but also helped look after my mother who came to live with us for six months while she underwent treatment for cancer. She showed such care and consideration to my mother that she and my mother have now become friends.

I was unwell this year and had to take over two months off work and all throughout this time, she was so kind and considerate towards me. She has also become a very good friend to me.

We are thrilled that this year, her husband was finally granted entry to the UK and is now living with her. However, for the past two years since she got married, she has had to go through extremely tough appeal process in order to enable her and her husband to be together. She has also shown enormous resilience and, despite going through a very tough and emotional time, has never let this affect her work and always been cheerful and happy with us and especially our daughters.

She is absolutely part of our family and given everything she has gone through, we really do believe that she is so deserving of a special recognition award."

Happy Home are extremely pleased to annouce that Winiprida Antany is our 'Lady of the Year'. Well done Wini!!!!

Christmas Cookies!

2010-11-25T13:29:00.005Z

Yesterday Happy Home Staff closed the office for a staff bonding day.

After a rather eventful morning which I'm sure a certain person would not like me to share details of we made cookies at Renata's House.

Hmmmm Cookies! I hear you say........ Yes we made traditional Slovakian Christmas Cookies, lots of them, for our candidates for our Christmas party on Friday. With not enough oven and storage space we successfully managed to cook, decorate and pack them all before 5, working harder and faster than Santa's Elves.

To end the day and the festivities Renata cooked us dinner and brought out the Christmas crackers. After sharing the really bad Christmas cracker jokes with each other we donned our crowns with pride whilst people on the street gave us strange looks through the window.

I would like to say a great big thank you to Renata for opening her home and for a lovely day.

We hope you all like the cookies.

Happy Home's Auction for Action for Children

2010-11-22T21:35:00.001Z

According to studies, 10% of all children in the UK are neglected– this is more than twice the number of children born in the UK in 2007.
Action for Children is a charity, which helps vulnerable and neglected children across the UK by giving them support. They carry out some truly amazing work, and Happy Home Staff has decided to help raise money for them by organising Fashion Action.
On 14 February 2011, Happy Home will hold a nationwide auction on EBay of clothing and bag items, to sell them for the highest price possible to achieve our target of £3000, and we would like to ask you and your family to partner with us in this endeavour.
You can make a difference in two ways;
1. by donating your unwanted, used, but in good condition, designer or high street clothes and/or bags
2. by giving a donation of £50 or any other amount you would like to give

Through continual feedback, we have realised that there are clients who like our work, but do not wish to use our full placement service. To address this, we have split up a lot of the good work we do so that you can cherry pick only those services that you require, ranging from organising CRB checks, to general advice consulting, through to performing interviews with you or on your behalf.
