Even if money is inherited, today, people with large income are working their socks off. It is no longer considered as a sign of success to procrastinate at home. Either as an activist or a business person, the schedule of people with comfortable incomes is very demanding. The schedules involve hard work, mostly with no time limit, and travels. So, to conjugate such a lifestyle with work and life balance is a true challenge. Without mentioning the wish to enjoy a family life, to enjoy quality time with children. One other issue is the number and size of lodgings. For investment purposes, it is wise to have several properties in different parts of the world. All of a sudden, life with money does not seem that easy, on the contrary, it seems like the source of many headaches. On the other end of the spectrum, many qualified and trustworthy people are available. If it is your case, and if you have strong references in catering and maintaining properties, why not find a domestic job for a couple ? When living in big cities, the 9 to 5 job becomes more and more difficult to get, working hours are longer and longer; Even if you are lucky to work a reasonable number of hours per week, the commuting is a nightmare.
What are the positive aspects to work for a family ?
The post pandemic allows people to consider working from home as obvious. So, why not working from home permanently ? The issue is that, in a lodging, if both members of the couple are working from home, the risks of conflicts are rising. On the other hand, if you discover that you are so much happier being together, why not contemplating a life-changing decision ? There are so many beautiful estates in Europe and in the USA where people are requested to maintain the house and the domain. If someone in the couple has experience in catering, it is then a lot easier to cook and maintain a series of bedrooms. If the other member of the couple is a keen gardener, and/or a professional landscapist with some abilities to do small jobs in a household, then it is heaven on earth. The reasons for working for a private estate are numerous :
- responsibilities and the possibilities to enjoy the results of your work, you can expect a long term job and be proud of your efforts
- living in beautiful surroundings without the costs ! On the contrary, you get paid for it !
- meeting and working for interesting people
Also, there is a big variety of choice of people and properties all around the world. This could become also a life project, to enjoy living in several countries for some years. It is a lot different from working in hotels. The responsibilities are important, and, at the same time, the people who are hiring are seeking full trust. Sometimes, the trust involves the care of the children. Some estates are occupied all year long, others are just for some vacations through the year. In the latter case, the maintaining of the property is a lot delegated !
