Maids & Co is an agency specialising in the selection of live-in domestic staff for families and properties in Castilla y León, from Valladolid, Salamanca, Burgos and León to Segovia, La Granja and the region's estates. Having the professional live in is particularly useful in rural properties and in homes set away from the cities.
Profiles span traditional household duties and more specialised roles: cooking, driving, running the residence, looking after children, personal assistance, maintenance and coordinating staff.
LIVE-IN DOMESTIC STAFF IN CASTILLA Y LEÓN
We select the profile each property really needs
Every family needs a staffing structure suited to its way of life, its priorities and the way its residence runs.
In Valladolid or Salamanca, a family home may be covered by a live-in housekeeper for cleaning, cooking and ironing, a nanny or a mixed role. A country house in Segovia or a large estate, by contrast, may need a house manager, chef, driver, a domestic couple or caretakers.
With such long distances and so many rural properties, we look for self-reliant professionals able to settle at the property for the long term.

Valladolid
Live-in staff for family homes
We select live-in housekeepers, nannies, cooks, house managers, drivers and other profiles for family homes and larger properties.
Salamanca
Live-in staff for private households
Live-in staff for private households and families who need steady help at home.
Segovia and La Granja
Staff for homes, country houses and second residences
Being close to Madrid, with houses used at weekends or for part of the year, makes live-in staff who can keep the property running all year round especially valuable.
Burgos and León
Staff for family homes and rural properties
We select live-in staff for family homes and properties in the surrounding countryside.
Estates in Castilla y León
Domestic couples and caretakers
Estates may combine housekeeping, cooking, driving, grounds, animals, vehicles and basic maintenance. Where there is professional farming or livestock activity, we keep those duties clearly separate from the domestic staff's.
LIVE-IN STAFF
An arrangement built on residence and stability
In Castilla y León our selection processes are for live-in positions only.
Lives in the home
Lives in the property
The professional resides in the property or in accommodation provided by the family and works the hours agreed.
Not round-the-clock availability
Duties, hours, rest periods, accommodation and how the role is organised are defined from the outset.
When it fits
When the family needs continuity, the property needs a steady presence, there is frequent travel or the location makes living in advisable.
LANGUAGES AND INTERNATIONAL FAMILIES
Professionals able to work in international households
If the family needs English or another language besides Spanish, we add it to the role profile.
Language is assessed as one more professional skill, according to the needs of each position.
Common languages
Spanish
English
DOMESTIC COUPLES
Domestic couples in Castilla y León
We select live-in domestic couples for main residences, second homes and estates, distinguishing the experience each type of property calls for. We assess both professionals together, look at how they actually shared duties in previous posts and check their references.
We select couples both for larger family houses and for country houses and seasonal properties used as second homes, for example in Segovia or La Granja. We assess the two together, review how they split the duties and check their references.
A single point of contact who knows your home, from the first call to the start of the role.
