Areas we cover
Torremolinos · Málaga
Torremolinos lives off tourism and second homes: the Centre and La Carihuela concentrate flats and apartments, Playamar and Montemar add urbanisations with pools, and El Pinillo is quieter and more residential. Many homes stay shut for months and open for the season or for family visits, which produces work packed into a few weeks.

The market is sharply seasonal: hours and substitutions multiply in spring and summer, and in winter the homes of permanent residents remain. It is worth agreeing in writing what happens in low season, because that is when terms change most.
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 Torremolinos the homes in Centro and La Carihuela 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 Torremolinos we ask for knowledge of diets and allergies and the ability to organise shopping and the pantry; homes in Centro and La Carihuela often ask for menus for guests.
Legal framework
Typically an employment contract with Social Security when the role is exclusive.
In Torremolinos 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.
