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.
