  • Who can offer help with property guarding or security?

    Properties, especially those located in low traffic residential areas, are unfortunately often the target of burglars who spot those that remain unoccupied. This is why the owners of these residences seek the help of people who can ensure the guarding or security of their property.

    Sometimes, these owners are only looking for a simple human presence, deterrent to burglars, and in this case it is not necessary to be a security professional to meet this type of request.

    House sitting or house sitting

    Simple housekeeping is an activity that can perfectly suit a senior, who will only have to make an appearance, pick up the mail, turn on the light at night to show that the premises are not vacant. This type of service is now known as "home sitting" since it developed across the Atlantic.

    Property guarding can also be a recurring activity, even year-round, therefore also during periods when the owners come to their residence, often with family or to receive friends.

    In this case, they may need a butler, capable of managing the interventions of external service providers (housekeepers, gardener, various repairers, etc.).

    If children are often at home, the owners can also call on the services of a governess, responsible for taking care of them by cooking them, supervising their games and their homework and taking over the role of mother busy with his professional affairs.

    Property guarding can therefore be a real opportunity for people who agree to live in a property and carry out a certain amount of work there. The advantages are numerous: living in often luxurious places, having decent incomes without having to spend money on accommodation while enjoying the same rights and advantages of a normal employee.

    The counterpart is to accept having to carry out tasks often unplanned in advance, sometimes at unusual times (late at night or during the weekend), formerly called servitudes.

    If you think you have useful skills in this type of job for babysitting help, then you can register for free on our platform and submit your application by completing your profile sheet.

    Askaide does not take any commission on your services and does not require any subscription on house sitting.

  • What skills are needed for babysitting?

    A large house usually has a large garden and outbuildings such as a swimming pool, tennis court, garage, etc.

    All these elements require regular maintenance: the pool must be cleaned and emptied in winter, filled and treated when the weather returns; the garden should be constantly maintained with the replacement of damaged plants, regular watering of flowers, plants or lawn; etc

    The house itself needs regular cleaning, replacement of sheets and towels when guests have occupied the premises. The various machines that occupy the house (refrigerator, television, heating) are regularly inspected by external service providers who must be managed during their intervention in the premises.
    Finally, in certain parts of France or Belgium, it is people of foreign nationality who have bought large properties and are looking for staff to take care of them. In these cases, knowledge of the owners' mother tongue is a plus.
    Failing this, you must be able to understand English to help with property caretaking.


    A second home therefore requires a whole series of services to maintain a correct state and thus calls on various skills such as:

    • Experience as a house butler
    • Culinary knowledge
    • Experience in home childcare
    • Experience as a security guard (often night watchman)
    • Knowledge of English or another foreign language
    • Skills in various DIY or gardening
    • Driving license (to go shopping or drive the owners)
    • Home maintenance skills (cleaning, ironing, sewing)

    It is also necessary to provide for great availability and to be able to intervene in the evening or on weekends, including during school holiday periods.

  • What are the most frequent requests for guarding and security?

    It all depends on whether the request concerns a one-time need (a departure on vacation) or a position to be filled on a more permanent basis.

    One of the most frequent requests concerns house sitting during the temporary absence of occupants who have gone on vacation and fear a burglary or the arrival of squatters during their stay.

    In this case, it will be easy and even often pleasant for you to help with the caretaking of property, simply by coming to take advantage of a paid stay in a beautiful property for a few days.

    The only tasks that will be asked of you will undoubtedly be to water the flowers, to collect the mail, to feed the cat, to be present as much as possible in the premises and of course to respect the property that the occupants will have left. on the spot.

    But in the case of property guarding over a long period, the most frequent requests concern qualified people:

    • On-site presence of staff with references
    • Babysitting with home maintenance
    • Governess in charge of children
    • Butler responsible for house staff
    • Security guard (sometimes dog handler) for day or night rounds

  • Can you get financial assistance to keep your home guarded or to hire a security guard?

    In France, the answer is "yes", because the guarding of property is part of personal services. 50% of the sums paid for house sitting or for a security guard can be deducted from taxes.

    For owners using property security, you can call on the pre-financed CESU to remunerate the person employed.

    In Belgium, it's a little more complicated: if you have no resources, you can register for an ALE (Local Employment Agency), then respond to one of the offers on our site and see with your ALE if it can participate in the financing of the service.
