Nannies, live-in and live-out housekeepers, drivers and couples for families in El Viso, Hispanoamérica, Nueva España, Castilla, Prosperidad and Ciudad Jardín.
Chamartín brings together very different neighbourhoods a few minutes apart: the houses with gardens of El Viso, the residential streets of Hispanoamérica and Nueva España, the area around Plaza de Castilla and, on either side of López de Hoyos, Prosperidad and Ciudad Jardín. That is why every search starts with the house and the family's timetable.
Chamartín is one of the areas covered by our domestic staff agency in Madrid: the same selection process, fee and guarantee in the city and across the region.
DOMESTIC STAFF IN CHAMARTÍN
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 Chamartín, 13.1% of residents are 15 or younger, and 16.0% in Nueva España, compared with 12.7% across Madrid (Madrid Salud, 2025). For these families we select nannies for the school run, full-time live-out housekeepers and, when the parents travel, a live-in housekeeper who keeps the children's routine going.
When the family diary includes school, activities and trips, we select drivers with experience of working for families and, in homes with several employees, a house manager to coordinate the team.
We cover the whole of Chamartín, from El Viso to Plaza de Castilla

El Viso
Houses with gardens between the Castellana and Príncipe de Vergara
The Colonia El Viso, built by Rafael Bergamín between 1933 and 1936, is a group of terraced family houses with a front garden and a rear courtyard. A house like that suits a live-in housekeeper, a couple who look after the inside and the outside, or a nanny for the afternoons.
Hispanoamérica and Nueva España
From Concha Espina to Mateo Inurria, between the Castellana and Avenida de la Paz
Two residential neighbourhoods, with the Santiago Bernabéu stadium at the south-west corner of Hispanoamérica and several embassies in Nueva España. Nannies and full-time live-out housekeepers and, when the parents travel, live-in staff.
Castilla
Between the Castellana and Chamartín station
A neighbourhood built up since the late 1950s beside Plaza de Castilla, from Mateo Inurria to Chamartín station. Live-out housekeepers, nannies and drivers, with commuter trains and the metro on the doorstep for staff coming from further out.
LIVE-IN AND LIVE-OUT
Two ways of organising the service
Depending on the family's needs. Many of the profiles can join under either arrangement.
Lives in the home
Live-in staff
Resides in the property or in accommodation provided by the family. It suits longer hours, a greater presence, properties far from town or roles that require living in.
Lives out, set hours
Live-out staff
Works in the residence on set hours without living there: full-time, part-time or a specific arrangement depending on the duties of the role.
or
The choice depends on the professional profile, the family's needs and how the residence is organised.
LANGUAGES AND INTERNATIONAL FAMILIES
Professionals able to work in international households
Nueva España is home to several embassies. When English is spoken at home or the children study in another language, we look for nannies who speak it fluently and assess their level at interview.
Language is assessed as one more professional skill, according to the needs of each position.

DOMESTIC COUPLES
Domestic couples in Chamartín
We select 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.
In the larger houses of El Viso, a domestic couple can split the work between them: the house and the kitchen on one side, and the garden, upkeep and driving on the other.
A single point of contact who knows your home, from the first call to the start of the role.

Domestic staff in Chamartín: frequently asked questions
The whole district: El Viso, Prosperidad, Ciudad Jardín, Hispanoamérica, Nueva España and Castilla, from María de Molina to Plaza de Castilla and from the Castellana to Avenida de la Paz, with streets such as Príncipe de Vergara, Concha Espina, Alberto Alcocer and López de Hoyos.
Yes. We select live-out afternoon nannies who collect the children, give them their snack and help with homework and bath time until dinner, and full-time or live-in nannies when the parents travel. If the family needs it, with their English checked at interview.
Yes, and in a house with a garden and several floors it is often the most stable option: the housekeeper lives in, with their own room and rest hours, and looks after the cleaning, laundry and family cooking. In a large house, hourly help or a couple can complete the team.
Yes: drivers for school runs, activities and trips, experienced with children and with references from previous families. On match or concert days at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, it is worth planning routes and times in advance.
By metro or commuter train: line 9 crosses the district with stops at Cruz del Rayo, Concha Espina, Colombia, Pío XII and Duque de Pastrana; line 10 runs under the Castellana (Santiago Bernabéu, Cuzco and Plaza de Castilla); line 4 stops at Prosperidad and Alfonso XIII; and Chamartín station adds Cercanías trains and line 1.
Nothing while we search. If you hire, you pay a single fee of one month of the agreed salary plus VAT, and only once the person has started and you give the go-ahead. Chamartín has the Madrid guarantee: a free replacement within the first 6 months if the person leaves or doesn't settle in, and a 50% refund in the first month if you are not satisfied.
