Director of Residences
A director of residences provides senior oversight across a principal's full property portfolio, ensuring consistent standards, coordinating the household teams at each location, and managing the operational infrastructure that keeps multiple residences functioning in alignment. This role sits above the estate manager level and is most appropriate for principals with three or more significant properties requiring dedicated management. The director of residences creates the systems, reporting structures, and operational frameworks that allow each property to run independently while maintaining the principal's standards across all of them.
Companion Care
A companion care professional provides attentive personal support for an aging, recovering, or otherwise in-need principal or family member: companionship, assistance with daily activities, appointment accompaniment, light household help, and the kind of consistent, trusted presence that allows someone to remain in their home with dignity and comfort. This role is placed across a wide range of situations, from post-surgical recovery to long-term elder care, and the right candidate brings both genuine warmth and the professional judgment to know when medical or specialist support is needed. We place companion care professionals for both live-in and live-out positions.
Chief of Staff
A chief of staff operates at the highest level of household and personal operations: serving as the principal's senior strategic partner across all areas of their life, including the household, the family office, travel, business interests, and personal affairs. This role is distinct from an estate manager in that it is oriented toward the principal rather than the property, and it requires the judgment, discretion, and executive presence to act on the principal's behalf across multiple domains. Chiefs of staff placed by My Household Managed have managed complex private households, coordinated with family offices and legal and financial advisors, and served principals at the very top of the HNW and UHNW spectrum.
Private Gardener
A private gardener manages the horticultural care and aesthetic presentation of the grounds of a private estate: planting, pruning, seasonal maintenance, irrigation oversight, garden design implementation, and the daily attention that keeps formal gardens and landscaped grounds in exceptional condition year-round. In large estates, the private gardener may supervise a grounds team and coordinate with specialist contractors for major seasonal projects. The right private gardener brings both technical horticultural knowledge and an understanding of the standards of a private household, where the grounds are an extension of the principal's home.
Pet Nanny
A private household pet nanny provides dedicated, attentive care for a principal's animals within the home: feeding, exercise, grooming coordination, veterinary appointment management, medication administration, and the consistent daily routine that keeps animals calm and well cared for. In households where pets are a significant part of family life or where principals travel frequently, a pet nanny ensures that the standard of care for the animals matches the standard of care for the household. We place pet nannies who treat the role with the seriousness and discretion it deserves.
Residential Security
A residential security professional provides protective services for a principal and their family within the residential environment: monitoring access to the property, identifying and assessing potential threats, coordinating with security systems and protocols, managing the security of children during school pickups and daily activities, and maintaining the kind of low-profile, professional presence that a private household requires. We place residential security professionals with verified experience in private household and close protection contexts, not commercial or institutional settings.
Personal Trainer
A private household personal trainer provides dedicated fitness programming and coaching for a principal or their family within the home, a private gym, or wherever the principal's lifestyle takes them. The best candidates at this level combine genuine technical expertise in strength, conditioning, or specialist disciplines with the discretion and adaptability required to work inside a private household. They build programs around the principal's goals, schedule, and preferences, and they understand that working with a private family is a different professional context than a commercial gym or training facility.
Wardrobe Manager
A private wardrobe manager maintains a principal's wardrobe as a functioning, well-ordered system: full organization and care of clothing, shoes, accessories, and jewelry; seasonal rotation and storage; digital cataloguing across multiple residences; outfit planning aligned to the principal's schedule and commitments; personal shopping and sourcing; and coordination with tailors, dry cleaners, and specialist repair services. For principals whose wardrobe is a significant personal and professional asset, the wardrobe manager ensures that every item is in its place, in excellent condition, and ready when needed. This is an ongoing household role, not a periodic styling service.
Equestrian Manager
An equestrian manager oversees the full operation of a private horse property: daily horse care, stable management, feed and health protocols, farrier and veterinarian coordination, arena maintenance, and the logistical management required around training and competition schedules. On larger Wellington properties with multiple horses, multiple grooms, and a competitive equestrian program, this is a senior management role. On smaller private horse properties, the equestrian manager may work solo and handle all care directly. Every candidate My Household Managed introduces is vetted to private service standards: horse knowledge is the baseline, and professional household conduct is what we add.
Private Educator
A private educator is a credentialed teaching professional who provides structured, individualized academic instruction for a family's children within the home or wherever the family is located. The private educator designs and delivers a curriculum tailored to each child's learning style, age, and academic goals rather than following a standardized classroom model. Families engage a private educator for full-time homeschooling, worldschooling while traveling, after-school academic support alongside a nanny, or dedicated instruction for children with specific learning needs. Many private educators come from classroom teaching careers and transition into the private household role deliberately, bringing institutional depth alongside the adaptability that private service requires.
Travel Nanny
A travel nanny accompanies the family on trips, maintaining the children's care, routines, and stability regardless of geography: across time zones on a private jet, aboard a yacht in Europe, through a multi-country worldschooling itinerary, or between seasonal residences throughout the year. Travel nanny arrangements can be long-term for families whose lifestyle includes frequent or continuous travel, or contractual for a specific trip or season. Every travel nanny My Household Managed introduces has verifiable experience traveling in a professional childcare capacity with private families, and understands that the professional standard does not change because the backdrop does.
ROTA Nanny
A ROTA nanny placement provides round-the-clock childcare coverage through a two-professional rotation: typically two nannies working alternating two-week schedules to ensure that the children have consistent, attentive care at all hours without relying on a single person for extended periods. This structure is most appropriate for households with infants, families with intensive childcare demands, or principals who travel frequently and require uninterrupted care in their absence. Each ROTA pair is matched for compatibility as well as individual qualification, and we establish the rotation structure during the Consultation Call.
Personal Assistant
A personal assistant manages the day-to-day logistics of a principal's personal life: scheduling, errands, correspondence, appointments, travel arrangements, gift sourcing, and the continuous coordination that keeps a busy household and personal calendar functioning without friction. Where an executive personal assistant typically operates at a more senior level with greater administrative complexity, a personal assistant provides reliable, organized support for principals who need a capable professional managing the details of their daily life. We place personal assistants who are discreet, resourceful, and genuinely invested in making the principal's life run smoothly.
Executive Housekeeper
An executive housekeeper is a senior housekeeping professional who began their career as a housekeeper, mastered the full craft, and over time was entrusted with more. They can perform every aspect of hands-on housekeeping to a white glove standard and bring specialist knowledge in fine textile care, stain removal, and the handling of antiques, fine art, china, and crystal. Many have backgrounds that cross into household management: letting in vendors, assisting with entertaining, handling light errands, and extending their support wherever the household needs it. An executive housekeeper works without direction, moves seamlessly through the home, and is equally suited to working solo in a large residence as they are to leading a housekeeping team.
Household Manager
A private household house manager oversees the daily rhythm of a home: vendor coordination, staff scheduling, inventory management, errand running, and travel logistics. In many households, the house manager is the central point of contact for everything that keeps the residence operating at a high level. They may manage housekeepers, coordinate with contractors, handle household budgets, and ensure that the principal's standards are maintained consistently, even in their absence. This is a role built for someone who thinks operationally and moves with genuine discretion.
Nanny
A private household nanny is responsible for the daily care, safety, and development of children in the home. In a high-standard household, this goes well beyond supervision. A strong nanny creates structure: age-appropriate routines, nutritious meal preparation for children, school and activity transportation, and a calm, consistent presence that supports the family's values and expectations. We place full-time nannies for long-term positions in homes where discretion, professionalism, and genuine investment in the children are the baseline.
Housekeeper
A private household housekeeper is responsible for the full care and upkeep of a residence: deep cleaning, daily maintenance, laundry, linen rotation, wardrobe care, and the detail-level attention that keeps a formal home running at its best. In HNW households, this extends to the handling of fine textiles, silver, and specialty surfaces that require specific knowledge and training. The right housekeeper anticipates what needs attention before being asked and holds a personal standard that matches the household's own. This is a career position inside a private home, and we place candidates who treat it as one.
Estate Manager
An estate manager is a senior household leadership role: the person responsible for the full operational infrastructure of a principal's residential portfolio. This includes financial oversight, staff management, vendor relationships, property maintenance coordination, security protocols, and the day-to-day decision-making that keeps a complex household or multi-property estate running like a well-managed business. Estate managers bring the administrative depth, discretion, and service mentality that HNW and UHNW households require. In most cases, the estate manager is the highest-ranking member of the household team.
Executive Personal Assistant
An executive personal assistant in a private household manages the administrative complexity of a principal's daily life: scheduling, correspondence, travel coordination, event planning, bill payment, home organization, and the constant flow of logistics that HNW and UHNW principals generate. The strongest candidates in this role are proactive rather than reactive. They anticipate needs, manage competing priorities with precision, and operate with the discretion that private household employment demands. Whether the role leans personal, professional, or both depends on the household, and we shape that scope with you before the search begins.
Private Chef
A private chef brings professional culinary training and fine-dining or recognized restaurant experience into a private home. They are responsible for menu planning, grocery sourcing, daily meal preparation, specialized dietary accommodations, kitchen management, and cleanup, all tailored to the preferences and routines of the family. In households that entertain, the chef manages both everyday family meals and formal events with equal precision. The best private chefs combine technical skill with the flexibility and discretion of someone who understands that they are working inside a home, not a commercial kitchen.
