Modern family life in London is busy, and household tasks can quickly become overwhelming. Bespoke Bureau supports families by providing experienced Filipino housekeepers who manage day-to-day household duties, allowing you to focus on work, family and personal time.
Our Filipino housekeepers typically have five or more years’ experience and are valued for their reliability, consistency and long-term commitment. With professional household support in place, families benefit from a well-maintained home, reduced daily stress and more time to relax.
Families often choose to hire a Filipino housekeeper to:

• Maintain a consistently high household standard
Live in vs daily Housekeeper
Our Filipina Housekeepers are very experienced. We offer both live-in and daily Filipina housekeepers. If you choose a live-in housekeeper, you will have the advantage of having her or him stay with you. This means that the housekeeper can start the day faster. Similarly, the housekeeper can become used to your home faster and better. Also, you will have the advantage of being able to build up a trust with your housekeeper. On the contrary, it can be less easy to do so with a live-out (also called daily) housekeeper.

Cost of Filipino Housekeeper
Domestic staff in the UK are not cheap but hiring a Filipina housekeeper is one of the best investments you can make for your life and for your home.
The market rate for an experienced Filipina housekeeper in London is typically around £20 per hour net. This reflects the level of experience, reliability and long-term commitment many families value.
For full-time roles of around 40 hours per week, overall costs will vary depending on employment structure and hours required. Many households choose full-time support or extended hours, and experienced Filipina housekeepers are generally open to this.
Note! Live in housekeepers will charge about the same as live out housekeepers. Sometimes a bit less. The reason is that there are less live in housekeepers available on the market. There are still many benefits to having a live in Filipina housekeeper. House sitting when you are away. More flexibility. Security of your home. Closeness to each other. And so on.
We have seen a rise of Filipino housekeepers and other staff in the UK over the years. Unsurprisingly, this is a trend that really has not changed. The Filipina Housekeeper or Nanny is as popular as ever. Whether it is in a formal or an informal household.
Filipino community in London
The largest Filipina population in the United Kingdom is in and around London. However, other towns have significant Filipino communities. Of course a large number of Filipinos are employed in the domestic staff sector. Some work in private homes and some in the hospitality industry.
Filipinos are the happiest
Did you know that Filipinos are supposed to be the happiest people on earth? At least, this is according to many studies. Also, they are known to have a work ethic. One that is much appreciated globally. Interestingly, you can find Filipina domestic staff working all over the world. Often they work in London and the UK of course. Sara Vestin Rahmani and her team are very fond of Filipina staff. Needless to say, we take great pride in placing Filipina housekeepers with clients around the UK.
Background of the Filipina housekeepers UK
Our owner, Sara Vestin Rahmani spoke to several of our lovely Filipina housekeepers about why they came to the UK. Interestingly, many of the housekeepers came with their employers who brought them here from Hong Kong and the Middle East. In recent years we have also seen a rise in housekeepers who initially went to work in Spain and other European countries first. Uniquely, many of them have gained degrees such as nursing. Then they took the big decision to leave their country and family behind. Most of the housekeepers Sara spoke to admitted that, of course, the reason for leaving home was to find well paid work. Thus, being able to send their salary home to help their families. We can totally understand how their trip home once a year is something they look forward to. Did we mentioned that we absolutely love Filipina Housekeepers?
The popularity of Filipina domestic staff is hardly surprising
Unsurprisingly, we have learnt that our Filipina housekeepers and nannies are valued and treated with the respect that they deserve. We hear so many lovely stories about how Filipina Housekeepers and Nannies help to bring up children. Moreover, they help to keep homes to the highest level. Similarly, they keep everyone well fed. Even your dog! It is no wonder that they are valued for their calm but caring personalities. Amazingly, they they still go back and visit families and children they have looked after.
Domestic Work visas for Filipina housekeepers
Something that many of our clients don’t know is that it is now almost impossible for a Filipina housekeeper to come to the UK to work. Similarly, other Filipina domestic staff have the same problem. This is because it is now not possible to get a Domestic Work visa. Since Brexit, the rules have changed. Even a candidate with a European passport might struggle to get to work in the UK. Therefore, you need to pick a housekeeper with a UK passport or with ‘leave to remain’ permanent status. An agency cannot employ a Filipina housekeeper for you either so there is no way around it. However, we have an excellent selection of Filipina housekeepers in the UK that you can choose from.
