Hiring a domestic couple: divide duties before placement
A domestic couple placement involves two people's roles, not one unlimited household package. Define each person's duties, pay and living arrangements before discussing suitability.

Write two separate role briefs
Decide which person is expected to cook, clean, drive, garden or provide other agreed support. Avoid allocating skills by assumption. Ask about each candidate's experience and whether the division works for both. A couple may offer complementary experience, but the household still needs a realistic workload for each individual.
Plan shared and overlapping tasks
Identify where duties meet, such as meals and serving, shopping and kitchen storage, or laundry and room upkeep. Explain who sets priorities and what happens when tasks conflict. If both people are needed at the same time for different work, do not assume one can cover the other's full role during breaks or absence.
Discuss accommodation and privacy
For a live-in arrangement, describe the actual sleeping space, facilities, meals and household access. Agree rest and time off for each person. Discuss any practical needs relevant to the proposed living arrangement privately and respectfully. Do not treat residence at the property as continuous on-call service.
Confirm terms for both placements
Ask Staffly to explain how salary, placement fees and replacement conditions apply to the proposed couple arrangement before confirming. Record each person's duties and joining details. Consider how the household would manage if one role changes or one person leaves. Clear terms at the start are more useful than assuming every situation is covered by a single verbal promise.
A practical example to adapt
A two-column duty sheet can show one person's agreed cooking and kitchen responsibilities alongside the other's household upkeep and errands. Add shared tasks only where both have agreed to them. Record hours and rest for each person, then review where duties overlap. The sheet is a planning aid, not a substitute for discussing salary and terms individually. It helps prevent the household from treating the pair as interchangeable cover for every task.
