Have you ever dreamed of working with your spouse or partner in a job you could do together? There are domestic opportunities that are perfect for couples who are skilled at working side-by-side and have complementary talents. Pavillion Agency works with many domestic couples who know how to make a household run smoothly and efficiently.
Here are some potential opportunities for couples in a domestic household setting, including brief descriptions of the jobs and how to apply for this type of work.
Domestic Jobs for Couples
Many couples work well as a team and have jobs in primary residences and secondary vacation homes to assist other families. Couples can work inside a home, outside a home around the surrounding property, or a combination of both. Jobs for married couples and unmarried partners can help both people in the relationship strengthen their bond and spend more time together throughout the day. As an employer, hiring a couple can simplify the process of getting work done on a property with regard to scheduling, availability, and employee compatibility.
Property Caretaker Jobs
To handle the outside work around a family’s home, a couple may be hired to handle yard and garden work, such as mowing the grass, trimming trees, and tending to the garden. Couples who focus on the outside areas of a home should have extensive skills and knowledge about making repairs, painting, carpentry, and window and household exterior cleaning. It is also beneficial for the partners to understand the basics of plumbing, electrical work, pool maintenance, snow and ice removal, and landscaping.
Indoor Jobs for Couples
Meanwhile, there are caretaker jobs for couples that focus on the interior needs of a household. Couples hired to work inside a house primarily may handle a family’s laundry, chauffeur family members around, handle deep-cleaning tasks, and cook meals for a family. Other jobs that couples can divide up and handle in a home include vehicle maintenance, crystal and silver care, ironing, interior repairs, childcare, pet care, and scheduling vendors to do more extensive fixes.
Household Management Jobs
Household management can be complex and time-consuming, which is why some people hire couples to handle management tasks that they can’t fit into their schedule. A domestic couple‘s management duties may include overseeing other staff members’ work, hiring professionals to handle maintenance work, and planning formal dinner parties. Couples assigned to manage a home may also specialize in smart home security systems, budget consulting, interviewing, and butler work.
