What are the laws if I have someone employeed "privately" to help me? Do they have to be registered with AHV. (Do I have to register them I mean?)

I think this Thread (from the English Forum - found by searching 'cleaning AHV'!) might have links which will give you the answers to your question.

It's never a bad idea to do a search before posting questions which are pretty sure to have been asked umpteen times before.

Sure, there are folk here who will read your New Thread and will know the answers, but the thrill of replying to identical questions or looking up the same old links for people who don't search for themselves does tend to pall after the first thirty times or so.

And had I realised you’ve been here for thirty years…

What a weird comment, what about 30 years here? Am I not allowed to answer questions? Or should I know everything already?

Comments like yours scare new people away!

I quite often suggest that Newbies use the search function. I don't think it really scares anyone away to be given tips on how to find things.

If when you say 'scare' you mean my last sentence, there would be no reason to write this sentence to a Newbie. I added it because, had I read your Intro first, (even the 'new' abridged version) I probably wouldn't have sought out the actual AHV Thread link for you, assuming that you could well do this for yourself.

	Yes, I know all of the ins and outs, ups and downs. Can braid a zopf in a few seconds, and make a golden rösti better than my mother in law! Can find my way around ZH oder BS oder BE without GPS, and can spell and add up out loud in German as quick as English. Now that's experience, don't you think.?

Well, you said it, I didn't.
