We Place the People
Behind the Home.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A newborn care specialist provides focused, expert support during an infant's first three to four months of life. NCS professionals are trained through recognized certification programs and specialize in newborn sleep conditioning, feeding support, developmental milestones, and establishing the early routines that set the foundation for a healthy first year. For new parents navigating their first child or a high-demand household, a newborn care specialist offers structured guidance and overnight care that allows the family to adjust with confidence. This is a short-term, high-impact placement with specific expertise that differs significantly from a traditional nanny role.

A private household chauffeur provides reliable, discreet transportation for principals and their families: maintaining vehicles, managing daily schedules and routes, assisting with luggage and logistics, and ensuring punctuality without exception. In a high-standard household, the chauffeur understands the expectations around presentation, confidentiality, and the seamless coordination required when a principal's schedule changes without notice. We place chauffeurs who are experienced in private service and who treat the role with the professionalism it requires.

A governess provides structured educational support and developmental guidance for children in a private household, combining the attentiveness of a nanny with the academic rigor of a private educator. Responsibilities include personalized tutoring, curriculum planning, language instruction, cultural enrichment, and the oversight of daily activities with an emphasis on intellectual and social development. This role is most common in households with school-age children who require supplementary education, homeschooling support, or bilingual instruction. It demands a level of formal education and patience that goes well beyond standard childcare.

An in-house residential property manager oversees the exterior operations and physical upkeep of a private estate: coordinating seasonal maintenance, managing landscaping and grounds crews, supervising capital improvement projects, and serving as the point of contact for all vendors and contractors working on the property. This role is particularly valuable for principals with large estates, multiple outdoor structures, or seasonal properties that require year-round attention even when the family is not in residence. The property manager ensures that the grounds and facilities are maintained to the same standard as the interior of the home.

A domestic couple is a two-person team that manages the full scope of household operations together, typically combining housekeeping, cooking, property maintenance, and household management into a single, coordinated unit. This arrangement is most common in estates, seasonal properties, or residences where the principal prefers a small, trusted team rather than a larger staff. The strength of a domestic couple is continuity and accountability: two professionals who understand the household intimately and operate with a shared standard. We place domestic couples for live-in and live-out positions in both primary and secondary residences.

A houseman provides versatile physical support across a private household: general maintenance, light repairs, heavy lifting, vehicle care, errand running, event setup, and the behind-the-scenes labor that keeps a home operating smoothly. In larger estates, the houseman works alongside housekeepers, butlers, and house managers to ensure the property is maintained to standard. This is a hands-on role that requires physical stamina, reliability, and the ability to move between tasks without supervision. The best housemen are resourceful, discreet, and take genuine pride in the condition of the home.

A professionally trained butler manages the highest standard of personal service within a private household: formal dining, wine service, wardrobe care, event coordination, household inventory, and the daily operations that define a principal's experience at home. In many households, the butler also manages other domestic staff and serves as the primary point of contact for the principal's personal needs. This role requires formal training, refined communication, and the ability to anticipate needs before they are expressed. We place butlers with experience in UHNW and high-profile households where the standard of service is exacting and consistent.

A private household laundress specializes in the expert care of clothing, linens, and fine textiles: washing, pressing, steaming, mending, wardrobe organization, and the handling of delicate, couture, and specialty fabrics that require specific knowledge and technique. In a discerning household, this role ensures that every garment and linen is maintained to the highest standard, extending the life of valuable pieces and keeping wardrobes and linen closets in impeccable order. This is a detail-intensive position suited to someone with genuine expertise in fabric care and a personal commitment to precision.
