What are the responsibilities of a domestic couple?

Male Partner's Duties
Technical Maintenance, Groundskeeping, and Transportation
The male partner's responsibilities typically include maintaining the house's vital systems (plumbing, electrical, heating), performing minor repairs, and caring for the adjacent grounds, garden, and pool. He also frequently acts as the family driver, oversees the technical condition of the vehicles, interacts with contractors, and ensures the overall security of the residence.
Male Partner's Duties
Female Partner's Duties
Housekeeping, Wardrobe Care, and Home Cooking
The female partner primarily handles comprehensive cleaning of the living areas, maintaining perfect order, and expertly caring for delicate surfaces and VIP wardrobes (washing, ironing, dry cleaning management). Additionally, her daily tasks often include grocery shopping, preparing healthy home-cooked meals for the family, table setting, and caring for indoor plants.

How the job works

Two professionals, one household

A domestic couple usually takes care of the whole residence: one partner handles cleaning, laundry, wardrobe and the kitchen, the other looks after the grounds, equipment, small repairs, cars and errands. Families choose this format because a couple works as a team and can run the house on their own while the owners are away.

For couples

A job where you stay together

Many couples spend years working apart just so both can be employed. In private households it is the opposite: families look specifically for couples, provide shared accommodation and often pay more for the pair than for two separate employees who have to commute and rent. Leave a request as a couple and tell us what each of you can do.

Benefits for couples

Benefits of working as a domestic couple

Working as a couple in a private home is one of the most stable formats in domestic staffing. Here is what couples who already work through us value most.

Benefits of working as a domestic couple
#1

You live and work together, without separation on rotations or different schedules.

#2

Separate accommodation on the property, with utilities and often meals covered by the family.

#3

The couple's combined income is higher than that of two separate employees in similar roles.

#4

More independence: couples often run the house without constant supervision from the owners.

#5

Long-term contracts — families rarely replace a couple they trust with their home.

#6

The opportunity to grow into an estate-managing couple with a staff team.
