Areas we cover
Malaga · Málaga
Málaga grows outwards: the Centre concentrates refurbished flats and short-let homes, Teatinos and Puerto de la Torre are university and family districts, and El Palo and Pedregalejo still keep low houses by the sea. Many families who hire arrived a few years ago and work remotely, so the home is in use all day. Churriana and the upper areas add houses with gardens and more than one floor, where the day is organised floor by floor.

Indicative salary
€1,221–1,500. Gross per month in 14 payments for full-time; part-time is paid pro rata. Indicative amount, non-binding.
The market moves largely by word of mouth among international families: part-time shifts of four to six hours are the norm, and English or German opens doors to households that pay above the average. Demand rises in summer, when many families ask for short-term cover.
What the service includes
Full domestic service: cleaning, laundry, ironing, simple cooking and general household organisation.
Full domestic service is best defined in blocks: cleaning, laundry and ironing, simple cooking, and keeping the house organised. In Malaga, where many homes in Centro and Teatinos are large, it pays to set one day for shopping and another for bed linen, and to write down what happens when there are guests.
What we ask of the professional
Previous domestic-service experience, discretion, verifiable references and a language that fits the household.
In Malaga we value checkable references from at least one previous household and the ability to organise the week unsupervised; the job often covers Centro and Teatinos, so tasks are best clear before signing.
Legal framework
Household-employee regime: Social Security registration, pay no lower than the national minimum wage pro rata and a formalised contract.
In Malaga 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.
