We are a warm, relaxed family looking for two wonderful people to join us for the summer in our villa in Sotogrande. We are seeking a couple — one an enthusiastic home cook, the other a versatile housekeeper/driver/children’s helper — to become part of our family for five weeks.

We love food and want someone who shares that passion. You’ll be cooking for us and our children aged 8–16 in a relaxed, family style — think Ottolenghi-inspired salads, vibrant BBQs, themed dinners (Taco Tuesday, Pizza Friday and more), fresh pasta dishes, and hearty breakfasts and lunches. Dinner or lunch may occasionally not be required as we enjoy eating out.

You’ll have natural breaks between meals and will not be needed for housekeeping during morning hours. Our villa has household help Monday–Friday 9am–2pm, so the focus during those hours is on the children and family support rather than cleaning. You’ll help with driving the children to golf, tennis, and the beach, keeping things ticking along at home in the afternoons and evenings, and generally being a cheerful, hands-on presence with the kids.

• 6 days per week, Mondays off

• Own car provided — available for personal use on days off

• Beautiful villa, close to the beach

• Double en-suite accommodation provided

• Family regularly eats out, so full meal service is not required every day. Genuine love of cooking and food

• Warm, responsible, and enjoys being around kids

• Clean driving licence • Flexible, easy-going, and happy in a family environment

• Experience in a similar private household or hospitality role preferred. €1,500 per week for the couple, plus full accommodation.
