Household Staff Selection in Barcelona
A well-run home starts with who looks after it.
Gerard Dalmau selects and coordinates trusted household staff for private residences in Barcelona — the same rigour used to choose a butler, applied to every person who enters the home.

No two homes are alike.
These are the most common profiles — if you need something different, simply ask.
Housekeeper / house manager
The person who keeps the household running day to day — organisation, supplies, coordinating other staff where there are any.
Private chef
Everyday cooking or for specific occasions, tailored to preferences, allergies and the household's real rhythm, not a fixed menu.
Personal chauffeur
More than a one-off transfer: someone who knows the family's schedule and adapts to it, not the other way round.
Private security
Personal or residential protection, always through professionals legally authorised in Spain.
Private tutors
Academic or language support for the family's children, with the discretion and consistency a private home requires.
Personal trainer
Sessions at the residence itself, tailored to schedule and goals, without depending on a gym.
Someone is entering your home.
Trust isn't improvised.
The same criteria Gerard Dalmau uses to choose his own collaborators applies to every profile proposed for a private home:
Verification of experience and genuine references before proposing anyone.
A personal interview, not just a CV — manner matters as much as experience.
Discretion as a non-negotiable condition — whoever works in a private home comes to know its intimacy.
Follow-up after joining — selection doesn't end on the first day of work.
Frequently asked questions
How does the process start?
With a conversation to understand what the household needs — what profile, what dedication (live-in, hourly, one-off) and any particularities of the home or family.
Is the staff employed by you or by me?
The right profile is proposed and selected; the employment relationship and its terms are agreed directly between the client and the person selected, with full transparency.
Can I ask for a profile that isn't on the list?
Yes. The profiles shown are the most common, not a closed catalogue — any specific household need can be raised directly.
How long does it take to find the right person?
It depends on the profile and how demanding the search is — finding the right person takes priority over closing the process quickly.
