Palm Beach's Domestic Staffing Agency

Yes. Seasonal staffing is one of our most common engagements in Palm Beach. We place private service professionals for the full season — October through April — as well as shorter arrangements for families who arrive for specific periods. Seasonal placements are held to the same vetting standard as permanent positions. The difference is in how the role is structured, and we advise on that at the start of every seasonal search.

Yes. For families managing households in more than one place — whether that is New York and Palm Beach, Chicago and Palm Beach, or something else entirely — we offer continuity across both. The same agency, the same standards, and a staffing partner who understands what each residence requires and how the two relate to each other. We are also experienced in placing staff who are willing to travel between properties with a family.

We do. Some of the professionals in our network are experienced in traveling with principals and comfortable working across multiple properties and locations — whether that is domestic travel between residences or accompanying a family internationally. If that is part of what your household requires, we factor it into the search from the beginning so that only candidates with the right experience and flexibility are presented.

We work with private estates on Palm Beach Island and across the broader Palm Beach County area — ranging from formal seasonal residences to large multi-staff year-round estates. We also serve family offices and principals managing multiple South Florida properties. Whether you have a full household team in place or are making your first private hire, our process is structured to meet your household where it is and advise you on what the right staffing looks like from there.

We place the full range of private service roles for Palm Beach households — estate managers, house managers, executive housekeepers, private chefs, personal chauffeurs, personal assistants, nannies, newborn care specialists, butlers, housemen, laundresses, and domestic couples for both seasonal and permanent positions. If the role exists within a private home or estate, we place it.

Our clients typically come to us when they are looking for long-term household staff — or when they have found that service-based solutions like cleaning companies or property management services are not providing the level of consistency, discretion, or customization their household requires. They are ready to employ their own team so that they can control the quality and standards of work inside their home, and they are looking for support that can move across multiple properties or travel with them — staffed by career private service professionals who treat this as a vocation, not a job. Whether you have a full team already in place, you are making your first hire, or you are looking to replace an existing team member, we work with families at every stage of that process.

A well-structured search typically takes four to six weeks from initiation to placement. In Palm Beach, timing matters more than almost anywhere else — the strongest candidates in this market are rarely available on short notice, and demand peaks significantly as the season approaches. We always advise beginning your search as early as possible, and we will give you an honest assessment of what is achievable given your timeline at the start of the process.

In a Palm Beach estate context, an estate manager typically oversees the full scope of a principal's property portfolio — managing multiple residences, overseeing staff across properties, and handling the administrative and financial infrastructure of a complex household operation. A house manager focuses on the day-to-day operations of a single residence. For estates with significant complexity or multiple properties, an estate manager is often the correct hire. We advise on the right role structure during your consultation so you are not over- or under-hiring for what your household actually requires.

Privacy, access, and precision. For families hiring directly, posting a role publicly raises visibility and confidentiality concerns most Palm Beach households prefer to avoid entirely. For family offices managing the process on a principal's behalf, privacy may be less of a concern — but access and expertise often are. Family offices are highly skilled at managing wealth and complex financial structures, but private household staffing is a specialist discipline with its own talent networks, compensation benchmarks, and vetting standards that sit entirely outside their area of practice. In either case, a specialized household staffing agency provides access to passive, off-market candidates who are not applying to job boards — alongside rigorous vetting, direct reference verification, and market compensation guidance. That combination of access and expertise is what a generalist hiring process, however well-intentioned, cannot replicate.
