Verified home help in Velachery
Maids, cooks, nannies, drivers and elder care attendants in Velachery and the streets around it. ID-verified profiles, safe in-app chat, and terms in writing — with no commission.
Hiring home help in Velachery
Velachery is a dense south Chennai residential belt, largely apartments. Hiring here works the way it does across Chennai: someone in the building knows someone, a number gets passed along, and a stranger starts work on Monday with nothing checked and nothing written down.
Most Chennai households look for Tamil-speaking help first — it is the practical difference between instructions understood and instructions guessed at. Sevetu changes the order. Post what you need with Velachery as your locality, review ID-verified profiles from people who can genuinely reach you, chat before you commit, and record the salary, hours and weekly off in a digital work agreement. You pay the helper directly and Sevetu takes no commission.

How to get a police verification in Chennai
Sevetu runs an identity (KYC) check — Aadhaar or government ID. That confirms a person is who they say they are. It is not a police or criminal-background check, and we will never describe it as one. What we do and do not check →
If you want a police check as well — and for live-in roles, childcare and drivers it is worth it — you arrange it yourself, and in Chennai there is an official route. Tamil Nadu Police handles it through Domestic Help verification, on the Tamil Nadu Police eServices portal. Tamil Nadu Police lets you start a domestic help verification online without visiting a station first — you enter your mobile number, verify the OTP, fill in the employer details and upload a government photo ID.

Government processes change. Check the official Tamil Nadu Police site for the current form, fee and documents before you apply. Sevetu is not affiliated with any police department.

Frequently asked questions
Post your job on Sevetu with Velachery as your locality rather than just "Chennai". You will get fewer applicants and far more who can actually reach you every morning — which is what decides whether the arrangement lasts past a month.
Maids and house help, cooks, nannies and babysitters, japa maids for newborn care, elder care attendants and drivers. You post what you need and verified helpers in and around Velachery apply.
Velachery sits next to Adyar, Pallikaranai, Guindy, Taramani. Helpers commonly work across two or three adjacent areas, so it is worth saying in your post if you are flexible about which side of the neighbourhood someone comes from.
We do not publish a locality rate card, and we would rather explain why than invent one: no independent source measures home-help pay at neighbourhood level, and pay clusters tightly inside one society and jumps between them. The most reliable guide is what your own building already pays.
No. Sevetu runs an identity (KYC) check against Aadhaar or a government ID — that confirms who someone is and nothing more. For a police check, Tamil Nadu Police runs Domestic Help verification, on the Tamil Nadu Police eServices portal, which you arrange yourself.
No. Sevetu charges neither the household nor the worker. You pay only the salary you agree, directly to the person doing the work.
Yes. It is free for workers, takes no commission, and lets them apply directly to families. See household jobs in Chennai.
