For Families
Cyprus’ only agency to personally train housemaids before placement — working exclusively with select families.
Finding trusted help
when you live abroad
Living abroad often means building your support system from scratch. Choosing the right person to help in your home — especially around children and pets — requires trust, care and discretion.
At The Busy Bear Company, we support expat and international families in Cyprus who want a calm, thoughtful alternative to job boards and rushed recruitment.
What makes our approach different
Trained & interviewed housemaids
Every housemaid completes training and a personal interview before being considered for placement.
A personal, consultation-led process
We begin with a private consultation to understand your family, routines and expectations.
No browsing, no pressure
We do not offer open listings or profile databases. Matching is handled personally and carefully.
Clear standards
We work exclusively with roles paying €600 or more. This commitment to fair salaries allows us to attract better-qualified, motivated candidates and maintain a truly professional standard.
