Hiring household staff for a new property: a short comprehensive guide

You have just acquired a property and you don't know who to entrust with its maintenance. There are several options available to you:

Domestic couple

If you have a large property with exteriors that require a lot of maintenance, this may be the solution. Indeed, it allows to have a regular maintenance of the whole property. The tasks are divided equally and your employees are used to working in team.

This position is in most cases a live-in job and they are in charge of the entirety of the good order of your property.
​

Duties and responsibilities of the domestic couple

If it is not a general rule, the tasks are generally divided as follows:

Mr. is responsible for all exterior tasks and small jobs such as mowing the lawn, maintenance of the swimming pool or even odd jobs.

This one must therefore be skilful and have a good knowledge of mechanical tools.

Mrs., is in charge of the interior missions, which can be just as diverse and varied.
The maintenance of the floors, the silverware, but Madam can also be brought to welcome the guests and serve them.

If you feel that a domestic couple is not suitable for your needs, there is also the property

manager.
​

The job of property manager:

This person must be flexible, and takes care of the maintenance of the property, its security, but he can also be entrusted with the management of the family's finances.

If there are other employees on the property, he/she may also be in charge of the management of the household employees.

The property manager is the privileged contact of the family.

Moreover, this is a position that requires accommodation, as the property manager must be available at all hours to ensure the safety of the employees.
​

The advantage of positions that require corporate housing is the availability of your employees.
​

It is important to establish a relationship of trust, as they will be on your property even in your absence.
