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
€1,221–1,400. 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
In-home childcare: routines, meals, homework, school runs and activities.
What has to be clear before starting is the real schedule: arrival, school pick-up, activities and what happens if the family is late. In Malaga many homes in Centro and Teatinos also ask for help with homework and dinner, so childcare is best kept separate from housework.
What we ask of the professional
Documented experience with children of similar ages, first aid a plus, references from previous families.
To look after children in Malaga we ask for experience with similar ages, references from previous families and availability to collect them from school in Centro or Teatinos; first aid is a plus many families value.
Legal framework
