Maids & Co is an agency specialising in the selection of live-in domestic staff for families and properties in Galicia: A Coruña and its surroundings, Santiago de Compostela, Vigo and the Rías Baixas, and the pazos and estates inland.
From an apartment in A Coruña or Vigo to a villa in Oleiros or Baiona and a pazo inland, we select staff for housework, cooking, driving, children, personal assistance, maintenance, running the house and coordinating a team.
LIVE-IN DOMESTIC STAFF IN GALICIA
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.
An apartment in A Coruña or Vigo may need a live-in employee who cooks, cleans and irons, a nanny or someone who does both; a villa in Oleiros, Baiona or Sanxenxo, a house manager, chef, driver or several live-in staff. Pazos and estates may call for a domestic couple or caretakers who combine housework with driving, grounds, maintenance and oversight.
A coastal house in the Rías Baixas opened only for part of the year, the family's main home and a pazo are different jobs; so we set the profile, experience and availability before the search begins.

A Coruña, Oleiros and Sada
Staff for family residences and larger properties
City residences, family homes and houses with gardens. Larger properties may need a structure with a house manager, chef, driver, childcare staff or a domestic couple.
Santiago de Compostela
Live-in staff for residences and rural properties
Family homes, larger residences and properties in the surrounding countryside. Depending on the size and running of the house, one very versatile professional or several roles is the right choice.
Vigo, Nigrán and Baiona
Staff for main residences and coastal properties
Family homes, villas and second homes. We select live-in staff for year-round posts or for roles shaped around houses that are busier at certain times of year.
Sanxenxo and O Grove
Live-in staff for second homes
At the busiest times, cooking, bedrooms, laundry and guests all increase. While the family is away, a couple or a steady professional handles oversight, suppliers and getting the house ready.
Pazos, estates and rural properties
Domestic couples and caretakers for larger estates
Domestic couples and caretakers for properties that need indoor work, cooking, driving, vehicles, basic maintenance, grounds and oversight.
LIVE-IN STAFF
An arrangement built on residence and stability
In Galicia 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
Galician goes into the profile when the household needs it, as do English or other languages; we assess the level against what each home requires.
Language is assessed as one more professional skill, according to the needs of each position.
Common languages
Spanish
Galician
English
DOMESTIC COUPLES
Domestic couples in Galicia
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.
For pazos, estates and houses in the Rías Baixas we select couples who split interior, cooking and laundry with driving, vehicles, garden, maintenance and oversight. We interview both, review how they divided the work in previous households and check both sets of references.
A single point of contact who knows your home, from the first call to the start of the role.
