What is a live property caretaker?

Live property caretakers are individuals or couples who reside on-site at a property to oversee its maintenance, security, and daily operations. Their responsibilities can include performing repairs, gardening, supervising contractors, and ensuring the property remains in good condition. Often, property owners hire live-in caretakers for vacation homes, estates, or rental properties to provide continuous oversight. In exchange for their services, caretakers may receive free or reduced-cost housing, a salary, or other benefits. This arrangement offers both security for the property owner and affordable living for the caretaker.
