A Domestic Couple is typically employed to oversee the needs of an individual household.

As a pair, the couple is familiar with each other’s strong suits, and together can manage home chores and errands in the most efficient manner. As the couple is present most of the day, oftentimes employers are able to eliminate excess staff—such as dog walkers, nannies, chauffeurs, or groups-keepers. In addition, their presence provides added home security and a particular attention to detail one can only achieve from time spent in a familiar space.

Responsibilities for domestic couples can include: daily cleaning, laundry and sewing, restocking pantries and home goods, driving and specialty errands, cooking, odd jobs and maintenance repairs, and vehicle service.

Many domestic couples live in a nearby living space or cottage, so they are always close by but still enjoy their own time off and much needed privacy.
