Specialist selection of live-in staff for families and properties in Luxembourg.
Request profilesMaids & Co is an agency specialising in the selection of live-in domestic staff for families and properties in Luxembourg, from family homes in the capital and Kirchberg to houses with land in the nearby communes, the Moselle or the Ardennes.
In Luxembourg we select live-in staff only, living in the property or in accommodation provided by the family: from traditional household duties to cooking, driving, childcare, personal assistance, maintenance and running a team.
A family home in Luxembourg City or Kirchberg may need a live-in housekeeper for cleaning, cooking and ironing, a nanny or a combined role; a larger property in Belair, Limpertsberg, Merl or the nearby communes, a head housekeeper, a chauffeur, a chef or several live-in staff; a house with extensive grounds, a domestic couple or a caretaker.
A family with young children and one at a different stage of life are not the same, nor are a town residence and a property outside the capital: before any search, we define which profile and way of working suit each case.

Live-in staff for town and family residences
Belair, Limpertsberg, Merl and Val Sainte-Croix are home to large flats and houses with gardens. With children, it may matter that the employee combines their care with languages, routines and accompanying the family when it travels.
Live-in staff for families with a particularly international way of life
Modern flats and family homes in an international professional setting: from a live-in housekeeper for the house and kitchen to a nanny, a governess, a chef or a personal assistant, able to adapt to changing schedules and travel.
Live-in staff for family homes and larger properties
Detached houses with gardens, garages and land where interior work, cooking, driving, maintenance and outdoor work come together. In the largest, a live-in couple splits the house and kitchen from the garden, vehicles and supervision.
Live-in staff for properties further from the capital
Outside the urban areas, independence and organisation matter more. We select live-in staff, domestic couples and caretakers, and take distances, accommodation and the presence required into account from the start.
Lives in the homeThe employee lives in the property or in accommodation provided by the family and works under the agreed terms.
Living in does not mean being available at all hours: duties, hours, rest and accommodation are set out from the start.
It is the right arrangement when the family needs continuity, travels often or the property needs a steady presence.
Luxembourg is home to many international families and households where several languages are spoken. We select staff with Spanish, English, French or other languages; in childcare, the language may be part of the role when the family wants to keep a language in the children's daily life.
We assess both people together, look at how they actually shared the work in previous roles and check their references. A couple can combine interior and cooking with driving, garden, vehicles, maintenance and supervising the property.
In Strassen, Bertrange, Niederanven, Walferdange or areas further from the capital, a domestic couple is especially suitable when the residence needs a steady presence and a clear division of responsibilities.
When the role involves relocating from another country, we check from the outset that the candidate's documentation is compatible with the terms of the position.
Maids & Co handles the search, assessment, interviews and reference checks, and supports the family through the start of the role. The employment relationship is formalised directly between the family and the employee, under the applicable rules.
Official sourceeuropa.eu/youreurope: “Work permits” and “Residence rights of workers”.
General guidance, not legal advice: each case is confirmed with the family's adviser or the country's authorities.
The process begins with an analysis of the property, the family, the duties of the role and its terms. The first profiles usually arrive within a few days; the start date depends on travel and, where needed, on permits.
Together with the family we define the profile, the duties, the accommodation and the main requirements of the role.
We search for and interview people with relevant experience and check their track record and references.
We present a shortlist of suitable profiles so that the family can meet them and judge the fit in person.
Once the family has chosen, we support the start of the role and the setting of its terms.
The family pays nothing during the search. Only when the person starts, and if the family is satisfied, is a single fee due: one month of the agreed salary, plus VAT where applicable depending on where the job is. No subscriptions or lock-in.
A single payment, only when the person starts. The exact amount is confirmed in advance.
If you're not satisfied during the first month, we refund 50% of the fee.
Interviews can take place by video or in person. The family covers the travel for the start of the role.
Yes, and in the rest of Luxembourg City, Limpertsberg, Merl, Weimershof, Bertrange, Niederanven, Walferdange and other places in the country, depending on the needs of each family and property.
No. EU nationals work in Luxembourg without a work permit and register their residence after three months. A non-EU candidate needs a work authorisation; we take this into account from the start.
Yes. When the family wants to keep a language in the children's daily life, the language becomes part of the role and we assess it as one more skill, alongside experience and references.
A domestic couple or an independent caretaker usually suits, able to handle maintenance, grounds, vehicles and supervision of the house. We consider distances and the accommodation available from the start.
