Household staff for families and properties in Valencia
Maids & Co is an agency specialising in the selection of household staff for families and properties in the city of Valencia and the main residential areas around it: from traditional household duties to driving, cooking, childcare, personal assistance, maintenance and running household teams.
DOMESTIC STAFF IN VALENCIA
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 flat in central Valencia may need someone for cleaning, cooking and ironing, a nanny or a mixed profile. A larger property in La Eliana, Rocafort, Godella or Campolivar may need a house manager, driver, chef, live-in staff or a team of several professionals; an estate, one or more domestic couples, or a caretaker experienced with animals and upkeep.
Nor does a city home have the same needs as a house with a garden and pool, or a young family with small children the same as one at a different stage of life. That is why, before the search begins, we define the professional, experience, availability and way of working that suit each case.

+ the whole Valencia metropolitan area
Valencia city
Staff suited to the way city residences run
Large apartments, traditional residences, penthouses and homes with bigger household teams in El Pla del Real, Ciutat Vella, L'Eixample, Pla del Remei or Ruzafa. Live-in and live-out staff, nannies, house managers, chefs, drivers, maternity nurses and governesses.
La Eliana
Staff for family homes and properties with outdoor space
Detached houses with gardens and pools and larger homes, where cleaning, cooking, children, driving, upkeep and grounds all come together. Live-in and live-out staff, nannies, house managers, chefs, mixed profiles and domestic couples.
Rocafort, Godella and Campolivar
Staff for larger homes close to Valencia
Detached houses, some with gardens, pools and grounds. From a single full-time live-out professional to live-in staff or a team of specialists, depending on the family and the property: nannies, governesses, house managers, chefs, drivers and couples.
Puçol, Alfinach and Los Monasterios
Staff for family homes and large properties
Properties with gardens, pools, outdoor space and sometimes more land, which may call for clearly separate roles: interior, cooking, children, driving, upkeep and grounds. Individual professionals, teams and domestic couples, live-in or live-out.
Bétera and Torre en Conill
Staff for residential properties and larger homes
Houses that call for a different staffing structure from a flat: besides household staff, cooking, driving, children, upkeep and domestic couples. Whether staff live in or out depends on the duties, the hours and the presence needed.
La Cañada and Paterna
Staff for homes close to the city
Close to Valencia, detached homes with outdoor space. Live-in and live-out staff for cleaning, cooking, children and running the home, and specialist profiles when the family needs more.
El Vedat and Torrent
Staff for family homes and properties with gardens
Detached homes with gardens and more upkeep than a flat. Live-in and live-out staff, nannies, house managers, chefs and drivers according to the size and the family's routine; on larger properties, mixed profiles or domestic couples.
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
Staff for families who move between Valencia and the coast
Many families keep a second home on the coast or move there at certain times of year. Staffing then changes: some professionals travel with the family, while other properties need their own staff for the holidays or the high season. We select for main homes and second homes, and set out the duties, travel and working periods from the start.
LANGUAGES AND INTERNATIONAL FAMILIES
Professionals able to work in international households
Valencia and its main residential areas are home to international families and households where several languages are spoken. We select professionals with English or other languages when the role requires it, looking closely at how well they can actually communicate with the family, the children, other staff and suppliers.
Language is assessed as one more professional skill, according to the needs of each position.
Common languages
Spanish
English
DOMESTIC COUPLES
Domestic couples in Valencia
We select 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 properties in La Eliana, Rocafort, Godella, Campolivar, Alfinach, Los Monasterios or the nearby countryside, a couple can combine interior and cooking with driving, garden, pool, upkeep and general oversight. For estates and rural properties we also select caretaker couples experienced in farm work, animals and maintenance.
A single point of contact who knows your home, from the first call to the start of the role.
