What kind of housekeeper do you need?
We match housekeepers to the type of your home, your schedule and the language your family speaks. Choose an option to learn more about duties and candidates.

Lives in the family home and keeps it in order every day, including when the owners are away.

Combines housekeeping with cooking breakfasts, lunches and dinners for the family.
Three situations where families come to us for a housekeeper
A residence of 300 m² and more cannot be cleaned "when there is time". You need a person who keeps the schedule of daily and deep cleaning, cares for parquet, marble and textiles, and holds the house in order without reminders.
Designer clothing, cashmere, silk, antiques and designer furniture each need their own technique. We place housekeepers who have already worked with such items and take responsibility for the result.
The family opens a home in another country or moves for a season. We either find a housekeeper locally or help relocate a trusted one — checking documents, visa status and the right to work.
What nannies do we present to families
Before concluding a contract and discussing your request in detail, we can send you several housekeper profiles as examples, however their current availability and relevance to a specific vacancy will need to be clarified separately.
Housekeepers for homes around the world
We place housekeepers in the UK, Monaco, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, the UAE and the USA — both for a main residence and for a seasonal home. We check the right to work in the country, experience in properties of a comparable size, and readiness to travel with the family between residences.
What does a housekeeper do in your home?
The functionality of a housekeeper is always tailored to the family, but most often it includes maintaining cleanliness and order, managing daily household tasks, and creating a comfortable and well-organized living environment.
- Daily and general cleaning of all rooms
- Cleaning furniture, mirrors, appliances and sanitary ware
- Washing floors, windows and doors
- Keeping order in wardrobes, storerooms and dressing rooms
- Care for interior items and decorative elements
- Cleaning after events and preparing the house for the family's arrival
- Washing and ironing clothes, care for textiles
- Changing bed linen and towels
- Buying and restocking household supplies
- Care for dishes and kitchen utensils
- Monitoring that household appliances work properly
- Keeping a shopping list and tracking stocks of household chemicals
Additional responsibilities (travel accompaniment, event support, grocery shopping, and household schedule coordination) are discussed individually and specified in the agreement.
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.
