DOMESTIC STAFF IN VALENCIA
Trusted household staff in Valencia and the surrounding towns
Valencia has grown into a different city in a few short years. Long-established families in El Pla del Real, the Eixample and Ruzafa have been joined by professionals relocating from Madrid and abroad. Then come international families settling near the British and American schools in Puçol and Rocafort, and households that have swapped a city apartment for a house with a garden in La Eliana, Godella or Campolivar. What they all share is the need for someone trustworthy to keep the home running while they work.
That mix explains what we're asked for most in Valencia: live-in housekeepers for large homes in the metropolitan area, English-speaking nannies for children at international schools, full-time live-out housekeepers for city apartments, and carers for parents who want to stay in their own home. We also select Filipino staff with English and EU residence for families who prefer it.
At Maids & Co every candidate goes through an in-depth interview, direct reference checks with previous employers and a clear picture of how your home actually works. Hours, duties, languages, children or elderly relatives, garden and pool. The first verified profiles reach your client portal in under 3 hours, and you only pay once you've taken someone on and are happy.
We don't have an office in Valencia: we select from our head office and support you remotely, travelling when it's needed. Interviews are held on video, references are checked by phone, and we prepare the contract and the Social Security registration with you, whether you live in the city centre or in Rocafort, Bétera or Puçol.
We work on success: you only pay if you hire.No cost until the selection is complete. Replacement guarantee included.

AREAS OF VALENCIA
Where we work in Valencia
El Pla del Real
Between the Jardines del Real and Avenida de Aragón, the city's most established residential district: large apartments, big families and household staff who stay for years. The typical hire is a full-time live-out housekeeper or a live-in used to homes with several children.
Ciutat Vella y L'Eixample
From Pla del Remei to Gran Vía Marqués del Turia: restored period buildings, penthouses and professionals arriving from elsewhere. They ask for part- or full-time live-out housekeepers who iron and cook, and nannies for school pick-ups and afternoons.
Ruzafa
The neighbourhood that has changed most in a decade: young couples with small children, remote workers and international families in renovated apartments. Demand is for English-speaking nannies, hourly housekeepers and flexible household support.
La Eliana
The residential heart of the Camp de Túria, half an hour from the centre: detached houses with garden and pool on generous plots, families with two or three children and private schools nearby. A house with a garden and several children is the classic setting for a live-in housekeeper.
Rocafort
One of the highest-income municipalities in the Valencia region, with Cambridge House next door and detached homes on quiet streets. International and local families looking for a stable live-in housekeeper or a bilingual nanny to run the daily routine.
Godella
Classic villas and modernist houses among orchards and pine woods, minutes from the city. Families who have been here for generations and others who have just arrived: trusted staff for large homes, elderly parents living with the family and school-age children.
Campolivar
Godella's best-known development: large plots, security and neighbours who know each other. Homes that need a live-in housekeeper or a couple, a gardener and hourly help, with discretion as the first requirement.
Alfinach
A Puçol development on the slopes of the Sierra Calderona, with sea views and Caxton College a short drive away. British, American and Valencian families looking for an English-speaking nanny or a live-in housekeeper who understands the rhythm of an international school.
Los Monasterios
Next to Alfinach, with a golf course, social club, gated access and the American School of Valencia inside the development: some of the largest villas in the metropolitan area. Full household teams — live-in housekeeper, nanny, gardener, cook — and domestic couples for homes with extensive grounds.
El Vedat
Torrent's residential pine woods, south of the city: former summer houses turned into main homes and families who want a garden without giving up the metro. Full-time live-out housekeepers, live-ins and carers for elderly parents.
Valencia doesn't have an island's seasonality, but it does have a clear calendar. Most placements start in September, when the international schools go back, and in January; in March, around Fallas, many families bring forward their search for a nanny or hourly help to cover those weeks.
In summer, a good share of families in the metropolitan area move to the coast — Dénia, Jávea, Oliva, Cullera — or to the house in La Eliana or Godella. The live-in housekeeper usually travels with the family, with holidays and rest days agreed in the contract; if you only need someone for July and August, we say so from the start so we select people who are looking for exactly that.
The staff we select for Valencia speak Spanish and, where the role calls for it, English: bilingual nannies for households with children at Caxton College, the American School or Cambridge House, and English-speaking live-in housekeepers for families who don't speak Spanish at home.
DOMESTIC COUPLES
Couples and domestic couples in Valencia
Outside the city — in Los Monasterios, Campolivar, La Eliana or the country estates of La Ribera and La Costera — a home with grounds needs more than a live-in housekeeper: a domestic couple who share the house, cooking, garden, pool and maintenance between them, with separate accommodation on the property. We select couples with experience in large homes, verified references for both partners and clearly defined duties from day one.

Hiring domestic staff in Valencia: what you need to know
At Maids & Co you pay nothing during the search. Only once you take the person on and are happy do you pay a single fee: the equivalent of one month of the agreed salary, plus VAT. No subscriptions or lock-in, with the 6-month guarantee included.
As a national guide, between €1,500 and €2,500 gross per month, plus the family's Social Security contributions; we give you the figure for your area with the quote. An English-speaking live-in for a large house in La Eliana or Los Monasterios sits at the top of that range; a live-in for a city apartment with narrower duties, at the bottom. Work out the total cost with our calculator.
Between €10 and €15 per hour in salary (the 2026 legal minimum is €9.55/h), plus Social Security registration and contributions from the first hour. In Ruzafa, the Eixample or El Pla del Real it's the most requested option for cleaning and ironing two or three days a week.
Yes, it's one of the roles we are asked for most in Valencia. Bilingual or native English-speaking nannies for families with children at Caxton College, the American School of Valencia, Cambridge House or the British School — hourly, full-time or live-in — with first-aid training and references verified with previous families.
The whole city — El Pla del Real, Ciutat Vella, the Eixample, Ruzafa — and the metropolitan area: Alboraya, Rocafort, Godella, Campolivar and Santa Bárbara in l'Horta Nord; La Eliana, La Cañada, Bétera and Torre en Conill in Camp de Túria; Alfinach and Los Monasterios in Puçol; El Vedat in Torrent, and Paterna. If your home is in another town in the province, just tell us.
We don't have an office in Valencia: we select from our head office and support you remotely, travelling when it's needed. Candidate interviews are held on video and recorded in your portal, references are checked by phone with previous employers, and we arrange the final interview with the family wherever suits you.
Yes, as long as she has her own bedroom with the privacy that requires. In the large apartments of El Pla del Real or the Eixample it's common; in smaller homes a full-time live-out housekeeper usually works better. We assess it with you before starting the search.
The family does, as the employer, and it's mandatory from the first hour, even for hourly work. We advise you on the contract and the registration and, if you prefer, our employment team handles all the paperwork for you, whether you're in Valencia city or anywhere in the province.
The first verified profiles reach your client portal in under 3 hours. We work with a nationwide pool of interviewed candidates, many of them willing to relocate to Valencia as live-in staff, alongside local candidates for live-out and hourly roles.
Yes. We select Filipino housekeepers, nannies and couples with English, legal residence in the EU and verified references — a profile in high demand among international families in the metropolitan area.
A six-month guarantee: if the person isn't the right fit, we select a replacement at no cost. And if you're not satisfied during the first month, we refund 50% of the fee.
