Staffing a luxury villa for a family isn't about generic hospitality workers. We need a chef who can prepare purées and handle food allergies, housekeepers who know that you clean playrooms three times daily during use, and ideally someone with actual childcare credentials for backup support.
A properly staffed family villa in the Caribbean typically runs 4-6 people for a week-long stay: one chef, two housekeepers, a property manager, and often a part-time nanny with verifiable references. Staff costs add $8,000-$15,000 to the weekly villa rate depending on the location and experience levels required.
Vetting Process
We interview staff via video call before confirming them for family bookings. Background checks are standard. We ask about their experience with specific age groups and request references from previous family clients. For infant care, we verify CPR and first aid certifications current within 12 months.
