Well, there is a solution: a Domestic Couple can be the dynamic duo you need to make sure your home, family and life run more smoothly.
So what is a Domestic Couple?
The role of the Domestic Couple is certainly a varied, demanding and exciting one. Put simply it is a close knit couple often man and wife, although you will find same-sex couples, or perhaps friends who have worked together for a number of years and who work best as a team helping and supporting the needs of their employers.
Housekeeping duties can include childcare, driving, laundry, cooking, security duties and many more, and will differ from day to day. Typically one half of the couple will focus on housekeeping, cooking and childcare whilst the other half will generally focus on property maintenance, DIY, driving and gardening. Although there will be a crossover of skills and the couple will support each other in their roles and will be flexible and able to continually adjust.
