Our services
Carefully defined support for every private household.
Avelines matches families, expats, entrepreneurs, seniors and family offices with professionals whose role, responsibilities and level of independence are clear from the outset.
Personally composed
Not a standard package, but the right combination.
Households evolve with the people who live in them. One trusted professional may be enough, or the best solution may combine several areas of expertise.
We define tasks, frequency, independence, privacy and communication before the search begins. This creates a realistic role and a more sustainable personal match.
