Relocating to Accra? Staffing Your Home with Confidence

For expatriates, diplomats and returning diasporans — what to know about hiring household staff when you arrive in Ghana.

Moving to Accra is an exciting chapter, and having trusted people at home makes settling in far easier. Many new arrivals look first for a reliable driver, a housekeeper and, for families, a nanny.

Local knowledge matters. A good driver knows the city's routes and traffic patterns; a good housekeeper understands local markets, suppliers and how to care for your home in Ghana's climate.

Agree terms clearly and in writing — working hours, days off, responsibilities and compensation. Clear agreements protect both you and your staff and set the tone for a respectful working relationship.

Working with an established agency gives you a vetted shortlist, support with agreements and a partner to call if anything changes after placement.
