ABOUT US

A Reliable and Versatile Domestic Couple

We are a professional, discreet and hardworking married couple from Poland with experience in luxury hospitality, housekeeping and the daily care of high-standard properties. Polish is our native language, and we both communicate confidently in English in our daily work with international guests and colleagues.

As a married couple who already work together professionally, we understand how to divide responsibilities, communicate efficiently and support one another during demanding working days.

We are naturally organised people and enjoy keeping our own home clean, comfortable and well maintained. We believe that our practical skills, hospitality experience and ability to work together make us well suited to caring for a private residence.

We currently work as Head Room Attendants at The Alpina Gstaad, a prestigious five-star hotel in Switzerland known for its discreet, highly personalised service and exceptional attention to detail. Working in this environment has taught us how to maintain the highest standards of cleanliness, presentation, privacy and guest care.

We are accustomed to working with discerning international guests, including VIPs and high-profile individuals. We understand that excellent private service is not only about completing tasks correctly. It also requires discretion, anticipation, flexibility and the ability to notice individual preferences without being intrusive.

We know how important it is for a private residence to feel calm, organised and properly cared for at all times. We take pride in creating this kind of environment and are comfortable working independently as well as alongside other household staff.

Together, we can provide a broad range of services, including:

  • High-standard housekeeping and property care
  • Cleaning and presentation of bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas
  • Wardrobe organisation and careful handling of personal belongings
  • Laundry and ironing
  • Preparation of family-style meals and light dishes
  • Basic household maintenance
  • Garden and outdoor-area care
  • Vehicle care and driving
  • Preparing a residence before the owners’ arrival
  • Supporting guests and adapting to individual household routines
  • Reporting maintenance issues and coordinating practical tasks
  • Maintaining complete privacy and confidentiality

OUR APPROACH

We are calm, responsible and detail-oriented. We understand that every household is different, and we are ready to adapt to the owners’ habits, preferences and standards.

We respect personal space and know how to remain attentive and available without becoming intrusive. We observe details, remember preferences and try to anticipate what may be needed before being asked.

We are comfortable in environments where quality, trust and consistency are essential. We value clear communication and take responsibility for the condition, cleanliness and presentation of the property.

She enjoys learning new recipes and is comfortable following family recipes, written instructions or menus created by a chef or nutritionist. She focuses on freshness, cleanliness, presentation and the responsible use of ingredients.

OUR HOUSEKEEPING EXPERIENCE

Through our work in luxury hospitality, we have developed strong experience in:

  • Detailed cleaning of bedrooms, bathrooms and living spaces
  • Preparing rooms and residences to exact presentation standards
  • Bed-making and high-quality linen presentation
  • Evening turndown service
  • Cleaning delicate surfaces, furniture and decorative elements
  • Careful handling of guests’ personal belongings
  • Recognising and reporting maintenance issues
  • Restocking household and guest supplies
  • Maintaining inventories of linen, amenities and cleaning products
  • Organising wardrobes, cupboards and storage areas
  • Working efficiently while remaining quiet and discreet
  • Adapting service to individual preferences
  • Preparing spaces before arrivals and restoring them after departures
  • Maintaining consistent standards during longer stays
  • Cooperating with supervisors, maintenance teams and other departments

We understand that private households require a more personal and flexible approach than hotels. For this reason, we are prepared to learn the owners’ routines carefully and adapt our work to the specific needs of the property.

DISCRETION AND VIP SERVICE

Our experience has taught us that privacy and trust are fundamental when working around high-profile or demanding guests.

We understand the importance of:

  • Never discussing employers, guests or private household matters
  • Respecting confidential information and personal belongings
  • Maintaining professional boundaries
  • Avoiding unnecessary questions or intrusive behaviour
  • Recognising preferences and routines
  • Communicating calmly and respectfully
  • Remaining composed when plans change unexpectedly
  • Providing attentive service without disturbing the household
  • Treating every family member, guest and colleague with respect

We believe that the best private service is often almost invisible: the property is prepared, everything is in its correct place, potential issues are noticed early, and the household can function comfortably without unnecessary interruption.
