Division I
Household
The daily life of a principal residence, kept in quiet order.
The Setting
A home should run so well it is never discussed.
A home has a rhythm of its own, and household staff live inside it. We treat these placements as matters of trust as much as skill.
Households are rarely static. Children, travel, guests, entertaining, multiple residences, and changing schedules all shape what a role actually requires. The right placement must fit the way a family lives, not simply the title on the job description.
We place full-time, live-in, and live-out professionals, for single residences and for families dividing the year between homes.
Roles We Place
The professionals who keep a home.
- House Managers
- The steady hand over staff, vendors, calendars, and standards: the person a family trusts to run the home the way they would.
- Executive Housekeepers
- Care of the residence itself: fine surfaces, wardrobe and linen, provisioning, and the discipline behind a consistently kept house.
- Private Chefs
- Daily family cooking through formal entertaining, planned around the household's tastes, health requirements, and calendar.
- Nannies & Family Assistants
- Care for children and the family's day: school runs, schedules, travel, and the household's moving parts.
- Private Drivers
- Discreet, safety-minded drivers who understand that punctuality, privacy, and calm are part of the household's standard.
