Household & Estate
Hire the Best Domestic Couple
A trusted two-person team to manage the full care of a large home and property.
Overview
Why hire a domestic couple
We specialize in matching clients with domestic couples who together manage family and property care. Often a very large estate requires more than one person to oversee daily operations.
A domestic couple, typically a two-person team, covers a wide range of a household's needs under one trusted arrangement. For large estates, they provide broad coverage with the continuity of a single, reliable pair.
In detail
What we place
Why a couple rather than two hires
A domestic couple covers a wide range of a household's needs under one arrangement, and on a large or remote property that has practical advantages beyond the work itself. Two people who already live and work together bring continuity, they cover for each other without a handover, and a house is never entirely unattended.
The common division is one partner inside on housekeeping and cooking, the other on property, grounds and vehicles, but the split follows the couple's own strengths and the good ones tell you plainly where those lie. We present couples as a unit because that is how they work.
What to think about before hiring one
Accommodation is usually the deciding factor. Most domestic couple placements are live-in, and the quality of what you can offer shapes the field of candidates more than the salary does. A separate cottage or a genuinely private apartment attracts people who will stay for years.
The other consideration is what happens if the arrangement ends. Hiring a couple means both roles turn over at once, which is the trade for the continuity you get while it works. Households that go into it clear-eyed and treat the pair well rarely face it.

Questions
Frequently asked
The duties run the gamut from housekeeping, cooking, auto care, and gardening to child-care, event planning, and expense reports, and in some cases personal assistant work as well.
Most domestic couple placements are live-in, which suits the large estates they typically serve.
Yes, and it is one of the arrangements they suit best. A seasonal property still needs maintaining, securing and readying, and a resident couple covers all three.
We will tell you. Presenting a couple where only one partner is strong helps nobody, and it is the most common reason we decline to put a pair forward.
