Maids & Co is an agency specialising in the selection of live-in domestic staff for families and properties in the Region of Murcia: from the city of Murcia and Cartagena to Cabo de Palos, La Manga and the Mar Menor. Live-in roles particularly suit families who need continuity and homes where a steady presence makes daily life run smoothly.
The staff we select cover everything from traditional household duties to specialist work in driving, cooking, running the residence, childcare, personal assistance, maintenance and coordinating household teams.
LIVE-IN DOMESTIC STAFF IN MURCIA AND THE COSTA CÁLIDA
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 Murcia may need a live-in housekeeper who specialises in cleaning, cooking and ironing, a nanny or a mixed role. A villa in Cabo de Palos or on the Mar Menor may call for a house manager, a driver, a chef or a domestic couple.
A second home may also need a person or a couple who can oversee the property while the family is away and prepare it before they arrive.

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.
