Areas we cover
Algeciras · Cádiz
Algeciras is a port and logistics city, with a busy commercial centre and districts such as El Saladillo, La Bajadilla, San García and Getares, the last one by the beach. Many families work shifts at the port, in industry or in transport, and there is also a Moroccan population with ties on both sides of the strait. The easterly wind and the humidity are constant and shape how windows and terraces are cleaned.

Indicative salary
€1,400–2,200. Gross per month in 14 payments for full-time; part-time is paid pro rata. Indicative amount, non-binding.
Full-time is the most requested arrangement, because shift-working families need continuity. Morning service for older people also exists. With a lot of job turnover in the area, families value punctuality and reliability above experience.
What the service includes
Daily family cooking, balanced menus, shopping, pantry management and meals for guests.
The first thing to fix is how many meals a day, whether cooking for guests is included and who decides the menu. In Algeciras the homes in Centro and El Saladillo looking for a cook usually want one weekly shop and the family's recipes written down, and that makes onboarding much faster.
What we ask of the professional
Experience in family or restaurant kitchens, knowledge of diets and allergies, references.
Beyond kitchen experience, in Algeciras we ask for knowledge of diets and allergies and the ability to organise shopping and the pantry; homes in Centro and El Saladillo often ask for menus for guests.
Legal framework
Typically an employment contract with Social Security when the role is exclusive.
In Algeciras we support the family through the paperwork: we review the contract before it is signed and check that registration and contributions are up to date.
