Staff for private households
Find a housekeeper for your private household
Looking for a housekeeper or head housekeeper to look after your home? Hospitly Elite fills positions in private households, family offices and estates. You tell us about the house, the duties and the working hours; we personally introduce suitable candidates.
What does a housekeeper do in a private household?
You decide which duties the role includes. These are common:
- Care of living spaces, furniture and fine interiors
- Laundry, ironing and wardrobe care
- Keeping cupboards, supplies and household stock in order
- Shopping and small errands
- Preparing the house before the family or guests arrive
- Coordinating with tradespeople, gardeners and other staff
In larger houses, a head housekeeper often also organises the household: planning routines, keeping track of appointments and leading other household staff.
Who is this for?
For private households that want to employ a housekeeper or head housekeeper, living in (live-in) or living out (live-out). Also for family offices looking for household staff for an estate or several residences.

Frequently asked questions
What does it cost to find a housekeeper through Hospitly Elite?
Consultation, search and introductions cost nothing. A fee arises only on a successful placement and becomes due when your chosen candidate starts; we will name the exact rate in your consultation. One exception: if you ask for an exclusive search for a key position, an advance payment is due up front and is credited against the fee. The salary is agreed between household and professional in the employment contract.
What is the difference between a housekeeper and a head housekeeper?
The terms are not used consistently. Usually the housekeeper cares for the household directly, while a head housekeeper in a larger house also organises routines and leads other staff. We clarify what your role includes in the consultation.
What do live-in, live-out and rotational mean?
Live-in means the housekeeper lives in the house. Live-out means they live elsewhere and come in for set working hours. In a rotational arrangement, two or more people take turns at fixed intervals. You choose one of these arrangements in the consultation form.
