Dear Cheryl,

Thank you for suggestion already found so much useful information there about healthcare. Will try to search for answers about nannies and other questions I have. Thanks once again!

@Marlene Ferber

Will you be working in Malta?

yes, I am not in process of signing a contract.

I tried to contact nannies agency and I was lucky to find good one for my kids, but I struggle to find a cleaner. I contacted all biggest cleaning companies, and they are either super expensive or fully booked for months ahead, all they can offer a slot here and there. Do you have any ideas where I could find reliable cleaner (not cleaning company) ?

There is an app for cleaning services in Malta - Rozie. From first moment they look reliable, but any thoughts or experiences about them ? They claim to have freelancers and cleaning companies inside of the app. Anyone have a feedback ? THANKS!

If you are a TCN you are required to hold medical insurance, so then you can claim most things from there when going to private healthcare.

Once you work and have a Payslip showing NI contributions you are entitled to free healthcare in addition

Cleaners are hard to find, but there's a vast cash-in-hand industry for this, you ask your neighbours cleaners and they recommend a friend if they can't take you on.

Ah indeed, guess I got my lines crossed!

Then scratch the private insurance bit, working here will be enough

@volcane

Thank you for clarifications!

@rozieapp

But how can I be sure that cleaner in Rozie will do  the work and I will not lose money  ? How do you verify them  ?

Thank you everyone for your help and time! You are amazing.

@Marlene Ferber

If you would prefer to employ a specific person, rather than have a different person for each cleaning, perhaps you could join the Facebook group "Nannies and Cleaners Malta".

Regarding a nanny, I am not sure how old your children are, but if you are looking for someone to care for a pre-kindergarten age baby or toddler (under 3 years), you will be entitled to free child care if you are working in Malta.

Many employers offer free private healthcare insurance as part of their renumeration package.

Thank you so much! Will follow your recommendations! Already searched that group and it is very useful
