Hire a Domestic Couple
What is a Domestic Couple for Private Estates?
A domestic couple for private estates consists of two individuals who work together to manage and maintain a private residence or estate. A typical combination is a housekeeper or a cook paired with a houseman or maintenance man. This dynamic duo brings a unique blend of skills and expertise to ensure the seamless operation of your home. They are typically married with no children or “empty-nesters” and have come from previous experience working together in the yachting industry or in the field of private service and they are looking for their final long-term position. Living arrangements are usually “live-in” in a separate building on the property, allowing for round-the-clock service and ensuring all household needs are met efficiently (although there are live-out options available for this role). Domestic couples often include a combination of roles such as housekeeping, maintenance, gardening, cooking, and more, making them a versatile and valuable addition to any high-net-worth household.
