LIVE-IN DOMESTIC STAFF IN GIRONA, COSTA BRAVA AND CERDANYA
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.
The variety of properties in the area calls for very different profiles. A main home in Girona may need a live-in housekeeper who specialises in cleaning, cooking and ironing, a nanny or a mixed role. A villa in S'Agaró or Begur may call for a house manager, a chef, a driver or several members of staff.
A masía in the Empordà may need a domestic couple, and a house in Cerdanya staff used to the way a mountain second home runs. That is why, before any search begins, we define which person, experience, availability and way of working truly fit each case.
