Full staffing services,
in Marbella & worldwide
We offer expert advice in childcare and private household staff, focusing on results. Our approach is straightforward, professional, and effective.
Our agency’s strength is derived from a distinctive blend of expertise, featuring a team of career nannies offering practical childcare experience. This is combined with our corporate proficiency, through which we provide comprehensive support, meeting real-life family needs effectively.
The Governess & Co. operates a transparent service by which both the need evaluation and the placement process is based on automated support tools especially designed for the overall industry need and the client specific target.
Choosing the right type of private staff
Most searches become clearer when we begin with the household’s routine rather than a job title. The same family may need childcare in the mornings, housekeeping through the week and specialist support for driving, cooking or personal administration.
Where responsibilities overlap, we help define the boundaries of each role before the search begins
If childcare is the main priority, a nanny or governess should remain focused on the children.
If the home itself is the priority, a housekeeper or domestic couple may be the better fit.
Lifestyle roles can then add specialist support without turning one position into an unrealistic list of duties.
Tell us what needs to happen across a normal week and we will help you shape a practical staffing structure around the household, the property and the level of support you actually need.
Private staffing across Marbella, Madrid and beyond
Our core services are based in Marbella and Madrid, with searches also supported in Barcelona, Mallorca and other locations when the role calls for it. We have also arranged international placements for families whose staffing needs extend beyond Spain.
Location changes the brief. On the Costa del Sol, seasonal schedules, larger properties, staff accommodation and travel between residential areas may matter. In Madrid and Barcelona, commuting, school runs and city-based routines can shape whether a live-in or live-out arrangement is practical.
If you are relocating, dividing time between residences or moving with children, we can factor the transition and local logistics into the search from the beginning.
How our private staffing placement works
01
Your enquiry
A short enquiry form gives us the first picture of your household, priorities, schedule and the type of support you are looking for.
02
Defining the brief
We follow up personally, by call or meeting where useful, to clarify duties, working pattern, location and the qualities that matter most in your home.
03
Matching from our vetted database
Our internal tools help us identify suitable candidates from professionals we have already interviewed and assessed, with additional checks carried out as appropriate to the role.
04
Introductions and placement
You receive a curated shortlist, meet the candidates who fit the brief most closely and choose the person who feels right. We remain available after the placement as the working relationship settles.
For many searches, the first matched profiles can be presented within two to three business days. More specialised or unusual briefs can take longer, and we keep the process transparent throughout.
