When a Family Needs a House Cleaner
A house cleaner keeps the home clean and orderly without the owners having to be involved: regular cleaning, care for expensive materials, laundry and ironing. Families most often come to us when they have a large house or several residences, small children, a villa that has to be prepared before each arrival, or when they need a live-in cleaner. For a family, it is not enough to find a tidy person. What matters is a specialist who knows how to handle delicate surfaces such as marble, natural wood and fine textiles, respects privacy and follows the standards set in the house. These are the candidates we select for private families around the world.
The cleaner maintains the house on a daily or weekly schedule: wet cleaning, kitchen and bathrooms, dusting and keeping living areas tidy.
When the house is large and the interior features marble, wood and expensive textiles, you need a specialist who knows which products and techniques suit each material.
In a home with young children, cleaning is needed more often and products must be safer. The cleaner takes care of the nursery, laundry and daily order, freeing up time for parents.
If the house requires constant presence, a live-in cleaner keeps it in order every day, prepares it for the arrival of the family and guests, and looks after it while the owners are away.
Cleaning lady profiles
Before concluding the contract and discussing the request in detail, we can send you several profiles of housekeepers as an example, however, their current availability and relevance for a specific vacancy will need to be clarified separately.
International housekeeper placement
We assist families who have relocated to a new country, acquired a residence abroad, or are spending a season in a different location. When sourcing a local housekeeper, we take into account their legal status, language skills, cultural compatibility, and ability to maintain the level of comfort you are accustomed to.

Why choose Royal Keeper when hiring a housekeeper
We help families skip months of searching and connect directly with vetted housekeepers — locally and worldwide.
Royal Keeper has a large private database: we have been working since 2000, and many experienced housekeepers deliberately do not post their CVs online or enter the open market. You gain access to specialists impossible to find through regular listings.
When a family suddenly needs a housekeeper, independent searching takes weeks. We already know who is currently available and can present first candidates quickly — especially important in urgent situations.
Situations where a housekeeper leaves are inevitable. That is why the agency exists: we do not leave the family to face the problem alone — we launch a new search and help organise a smooth transition to a new specialist.
When relocating to another country it is hard to know where and how to find a housekeeper locally, whom to trust, and what the market expects. Royal Keeper operates worldwide and helps find housekeepers in different countries, taking language, culture, and legal nuances into account.
Over the years we have built extensive candidate histories: we know where and how they worked, which families recommended them, and how they handled challenges. This lets us filter out suspicious and unqualified profiles before they ever reach your interview stage.
Most families who first try to find a housekeeper on their own encounter the same difficulties — lack of time, uncertainty, and the risk of making a mistake. Royal Keeper takes care of all that so you can focus on your family and daily life instead of endless interviews.
