Live-in domestic staff for homes and estates in Extremadura
Maids & Co is an agency specialising in the selection of live-in domestic staff for families and properties in Extremadura. Live-in roles are particularly well suited to homes and estates that need continuity, self-reliance and a steady presence all year round, above all when they are far from the towns.
The staff we select cover everything from traditional household duties to specialist work in driving, cooking, running the residence, maintenance, grounds care and property oversight. We shape each role around the property and how it is used, the family, the duties and the terms.
LIVE-IN DOMESTIC STAFF IN EXTREMADURA
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.
A family home in Badajoz, Cáceres or Mérida may need a live-in housekeeper who specialises in cleaning, cooking and ironing, a nanny, a chef or a house manager. A leisure estate may need a domestic couple who can keep the house going while the family is away and look after the family during its stays.
A farming, livestock or hunting estate may call for a more complex set-up, in which the domestic staff live and work alongside the specialists who run the estate's activity. That is why, before any search begins, we define which duties belong to the domestic staff and which require technical or other professionals.

LIVE-IN STAFF
An arrangement built on residence and stability
In Extremadura 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.
ESTATES IN EXTREMADURA
Leisure, farming, livestock and hunting estates
A leisure estate may be quiet for long spells and then see a considerable increase in work when the family arrives or has guests: a settled couple can look after the property, oversee suppliers and prepare it for each stay.
Where the estate has farming or livestock activity, the domestic staff can take care of the house, cooking, laundry, looking after the family, driving and certain supervisory tasks. Specialist farming, livestock or technical work belongs to the professionals qualified for it.
On hunting estates we select domestic staff and caretakers for the house and the day-to-day running of the estate, always distinguishing these duties from those that legally or technically belong to gamekeepers or other specialists.
LANGUAGES AND INTERNATIONAL FAMILIES
Professionals able to work in international households
Languages are assessed when they matter to the family's specific needs, and are added to the profile when the role requires them.
Language is assessed as one more professional skill, according to the needs of each position.
Common languages
Spanish
DOMESTIC COUPLES
Domestic couples in Extremadura
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.
In Extremadura, a domestic couple is an arrangement especially well suited to large properties: it can combine housekeeping, cooking and laundry with driving, vehicles, grounds, basic maintenance and general oversight.
On estates with farming, livestock or hunting activity we set out from the start which duties belong to the couple and which require specialist professionals.
A single point of contact who knows your home, from the first call to the start of the role.
