Private live-in carer & PA matching

The right person should feel like the right person.

Finding the right live-in carer or PA shouldn't become your full-time job. Maison Care handles the search, screening and matching around the way you actually live — so you can meet a considered shortlist of people who genuinely fit.

“We consider the person, not just the CV.”

The Maison Care matching philosophy

You don't need another pile of CVs.
You need someone who fits.

We search, screen and match live-in carers and personal PAs around the person — not simply the job description. You tell us what matters. We do the searching.

Where to start

Tell us what you need help with.

You don't need to know exactly what type of carer or PA you need. Tell us what's happening, what isn't working, or what you need to put in place. We'll help turn it into a clear brief.

The Maison Care Match

We match the whole picture.

A placement rarely succeeds or fails on experience alone. We consider six things together.

01

Capability

Can the person safely and competently provide the support required — personal care, moving and handling, medication, night support, cooking, driving or specialist experience?

02

Working Style

How do they actually work? Proactive or instruction-led, independent or supported, calm under pressure, organised, adaptable.

03

Personality

Will these two people genuinely get along? Quiet or sociable, warm, humorous, mature, reserved, energetic.

04

Lifestyle

Can they comfortably support the way you live — travel, work, dining, sport, culture, early mornings or late nights?

05

Household

Can they live respectfully in your home? Children, partner, pets, privacy, shared spaces, routines and boundaries.

06

Team

Can they work with the people already around you — existing PAs, family, household staff and care teams?

More than care

Someone who fits into your life.

Private households rarely need one neat job title. Most need a combination of support — and we search for people whose experience genuinely covers what you need.

Not every carer or PA provides every type of support. We confirm what an individual candidate can offer case by case.

Arrangements

Not every household needs the same arrangement.

Live-In

Continuous support from someone integrated into your daily life.

Rotational

One week on / one week off, two on / two off, three on / two off, or a bespoke rotation.

Live-Out

Regular daytime, evening or waking-night support.

Emergency

Unexpected gaps in an existing arrangement.

Holiday / Relief

Temporary cover while an existing carer or PA is unavailable.

Replacement

When an arrangement isn't working, or someone is leaving.

Long-Term

A stable, ongoing relationship with a carer or PA.

Replacement

When the person you have isn't the right person.

Sometimes the care is fine. The fit isn't.

Someone can have the right experience, qualifications and references and still be completely wrong for a particular household. Poor communication. Lack of initiative. Unreliability. Personality mismatch. Poor boundaries. Constant supervision. Lifestyle conflict.

We help private clients understand what isn't working, identify what needs to change and search differently for the next person.

We don't simply replace the person. We reassess the match.

Introductions

Not a pile of CVs.

We narrow the field before you spend your time meeting people — a considered shortlist, with a reason behind every introduction.

We look for people who meet the essential requirements and appear compatible with the way your household works.

Where appropriate, we explain why we believe someone may be a good fit — and highlight anything you should consider before meeting them.
