Household staff for families and properties in Mallorca and Menorca
Maids & Co is an agency specialising in the selection of household staff for families and properties in Mallorca and Menorca: from traditional household duties to driving, cooking, childcare, personal assistance, maintenance and running household teams.
DOMESTIC STAFF IN MALLORCA AND MENORCA
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 Palma or Maó (Mahón) may need someone for cleaning, cooking and ironing, a nanny or a mixed profile. A larger property in Son Vida, Port d'Andratx or a residential area of Menorca may need a house manager, driver, chef, live-in staff or a team; an estate, one or more domestic couples, or a caretaker experienced with animals and upkeep.
Nor does a main residence have the same needs as a villa used a few months a year, or a house on the coast the same as an estate inland. That is why, before the search begins, we define the professional, experience, availability and way of working that suit each case.
+ Palma, the Serra de Tramuntana, the north, the interior and the coast of Mallorca, and all of Menorca
Palma
Staff for city homes and properties lived in all year
From large apartments and traditional houses to detached homes near the city, in the centre, Santa Catalina, Génova, Portixol or El Molinar. Live-in and live-out staff, nannies, house managers, chefs, drivers, maternity nurses and governesses.
Son Vida
Staff for large residences and household teams
Large properties with gardens, pools and grounds, sometimes with several staff. Live-in and live-out staff, a house manager, chef, driver, nanny, butler or domestic couple, depending on the size, how often it is used and the other staff.
Bendinat, Portals Nous and Illetes
Staff for family homes and properties near the coast
Main residences and seasonal houses. Live-in and live-out staff, house managers, chefs and drivers; for second homes we also consider preparation, oversight and upkeep while the family is away.
Santa Ponça and Calvià
Staff for main homes and larger properties
Detached houses with gardens and pools where indoor service, children, cooking, driving, upkeep and grounds all come together. Individual professionals, teams and domestic couples, live-in or live-out.
Andratx, Port d'Andratx and Camp de Mar
Staff for villas, second homes and seasonal properties
Andratx, Port d'Andratx, La Mola, Cala Llamp and Camp de Mar: many seasonal houses. Professionals who prepare the villa before each arrival, look after the family and oversee it while they are away: house managers, chefs, domestic couples and caretakers.
Deià, Valldemossa and the Serra de Tramuntana
Staff for country houses, estates and more isolated properties
Country houses and estates where location and land matter: grounds, upkeep, driving, suppliers or animals. Live-in staff, domestic couples, caretakers and chefs experienced in rural properties.
Sóller and Port de Sóller
Staff for permanent homes and seasonal properties
Year-round homes alongside second homes. Live-in and live-out professionals, full-time or part-time; in large houses, mixed profiles or couples who add upkeep and oversight.
Pollença, Port de Pollença and Formentor
Staff for summer homes, villas and estates in the north
Villas, country houses and estates used all year or seasonally. Year-round staff and temporary roles; on estates, experience in upkeep, grounds, driving or animals is an essential part of the profile.
Alcúdia and northern Mallorca
Staff for family homes and seasonal properties
Alcúdia, Port d'Alcúdia and Bonaire: houses that alternate busy months with quieter ones. We match the profile to that pattern: household staff, chef, nanny, house manager, a couple or oversight between stays.
Artà, Santanyí and inland Mallorca
Staff for estates, country houses and properties with plenty of land
In the interior and the south-east, properties that combine household service, upkeep and grounds: housekeepers, domestic couples, caretakers, chefs, drivers and mixed profiles.
Menorca
Household staff for homes, villas and estates in Menorca
For families living on the island all year and for holiday houses: town homes, villas near the coast, country houses and estates. Live-in or live-out staff, house managers, chefs, nannies, drivers, domestic couples and caretakers.
Maó and surroundings
Staff for permanent homes and seasonal properties
From one live-out professional for daily household tasks to live-in staff, a house manager, chef, nanny or a team of several profiles, depending on the property, how long it is occupied and the family.
Ciutadella
Staff for resident families and second homes
How often the house is used shapes the profile: a main residence needs steady staff all year; a second home, an arrangement for before, during and after each family stay.
Sant Lluís and Binibeca
Staff for villas and properties near the coast
Houses used all year or in the island's busiest months. Cleaning, cooking, laundry, children and organisation, plus house managers, chefs and couples; in second homes, upkeep and preparation while the family is away as well.
Estates and rural properties in Menorca
Staff for country houses and properties with greater upkeep needs
Profiles who, besides household service, take on grounds, upkeep, driving, animals or oversight. Depending on the property, a caretaker, a domestic couple or a caretaker couple.
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.
SECOND HOMES AND SEASONS
Second homes and seasonal staff
In Mallorca and Menorca permanent homes sit alongside villas and estates used for holidays or seasons. With the family in residence, the need grows for cooking, laundry, driving, childcare, looking after guests and general service.
While they are away, certain profiles oversee the house, coordinate suppliers, handle maintenance and get it ready for the next arrival. Depending on the case, we select permanent staff, domestic couples or staff for a single season.
LANGUAGES AND INTERNATIONAL FAMILIES
Professionals able to work in international households
Mallorca and Menorca are home to many international families and households where several languages are spoken. We select professionals with English, German, Catalan or other languages when the role requires it.
Language is assessed as one more professional skill, according to the needs of each position.
