Private Household Staffing for UHNW Families in Boca Raton

Boca Raton is our home market

Our office is at 2255 Glades Road, which means Boca Raton searches are run by partners who know the households, the clubs and the labor market first-hand. We know what a Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club principal expects from a house manager, how service standards differ inside The Sanctuary versus Woodfield or St. Andrews, and which candidates can carry a formal winter-season calendar without visible effort.

That proximity also shortens the search. Trials happen at the residence rather than over video, references are often people we can reach directly, and a partner can be at the property the same day when a placement needs support in its first weeks.

Vetting, fees and the twelve-month guarantee

Every candidate is background-checked, reference-verified and driving-record checked before introduction, with written evidence attached to the file. AI organizes the evidence; a senior partner signs off on every shortlist personally. Finalists work a paid trial day at the residence before any offer is made.

The placement fee is 20% of the accepted first-year base salary, with a retainer of 20% of that fee credited against it. Every placement carries a written twelve-month replacement guarantee, and we stay engaged through onboarding, payroll and household governance for that full first year.

Executive Housekeeper Staffing in Boca Raton

An executive housekeeper leads the housekeeping function rather than performing it alone: she or he sets the standard for the residence, trains and schedules the supporting housekeepers and housemen, audits deep-cleaning cycles, and owns laundry, wardrobe and linen operations. In Boca Raton the role also carries the entertaining calendar — guest suites, turn-down, formal table preparation — from November through the spring.

We verify fine-surface and textile knowledge (stone, wood, silver, art and antiques), formal laundering, pressing and steaming standards, inventory discipline and the ability to lead a team, always against references rather than against a résumé claim. Where a candidate is strong but green on a specific discipline, we say so in writing and define the training plan instead of inflating the file. Placements are made live-in, live-out or on a seasonal rotation, and the schedule is written into the offer before candidates are approached.

Private Housekeeper Placement for UHNW Residences

A private housekeeper works to a documented daily standard inside one residence: cleaning and detailing of principal and guest areas, laundry, ironing and wardrobe organization, kitchen and bath discipline, prompt reporting of maintenance issues, and quiet support of table service when the household entertains. It is a role defined by consistency and by presence — the best candidates are invisible until they are needed.

Before introduction we confirm verifiable private-residence references (not only hotel or commercial experience), tenure length, comfort with confidentiality obligations, and the specific care functions the household requires — fine garments, delicate fabrics, specialty surfaces. Live-in placements are common in the larger gated estates; live-out is typical within a short commute. Every candidate signs an NDA before learning the household's identity.

Executive Assistant Recruitment for Private Families

A private-family executive assistant is the principal's administrative center of gravity: calendar and correspondence, travel and aviation logistics, expenses, receipts and reimbursements, vendor and professional-adviser coordination, medical, school and family scheduling, and travel dossiers prepared before they are requested. In a family-office context the role frequently overlaps with household operations, so we specify the boundary with the estate manager in writing at the start of the search.

We verify support of a principal or C-level executive, organizational discipline and follow-through, technology fluency, availability around travel, and — above all — discretion: an assistant sees more of a family's private life than almost any other hire. References are contacted only with the candidate's permission, and current employers are never approached without written consent. Traveling and hybrid arrangements are structured before an offer is made.

Estate Manager Recruitment in Boca Raton

The estate manager runs the property as a business: budgets and capital projects, vendor contracts and supervision, preventive maintenance calendars, insurance and compliance documentation, staff hiring, scheduling and performance, security and access protocol, and the seasonal open-and-close of the residence. For principals who also hold a Northeast or overseas property, the estate manager is the single point of accountability across residences.

We verify multi-year tenure in comparable private estates, budget and vendor authority actually held, staff-supervision experience, systems literacy (AV, smart-home, generator, marine and pool infrastructure) and documented references from principals or family offices. Because Boca households run a November–May calendar, we write season dates, travel, rotation and housing terms into the offer rather than renegotiating them each autumn.

House Manager and Household Manager Staffing

House manager and household manager describe the same function under two names: the day-to-day operation of a single residence. The house manager keeps the household schedule, supervises a small team, coordinates routine vendors, manages inventories and household purchasing, oversees service when the family entertains, and reports to the principal or to an estate manager above them. It is the right hire when a residence needs order and presence rather than capital-project management.

We verify hands-on private-residence experience, formal-service exposure where the household entertains, comfort with household technology and reporting, and references that speak to judgment under pressure. Live-in, live-out and rotating schedules are all standard, as are domestic couples where one partner manages the house and the other the grounds or driving.

Additional Private Household Professionals

Beyond the core household leadership, Boca Raton families retain us for private chefs comfortable moving between wellness-oriented daily menus, kosher-style kitchens and multi-course formal dinners; butlers for table service, cellar and guest logistics; chauffeurs who know the PBI, FLL and Boca Executive airport patterns and hold clean, verified driving records; nannies and governesses; domestic couples for gated inland residences; and complete household teams assembled and onboarded together.

Team searches are run as one mandate rather than several: we map the residence's coverage hour by hour, define reporting lines before recruiting, and stage start dates so the household is never simultaneously training five new people. Every member of a team placement is background-checked, reference-verified and NDA-bound on the same standard as a single senior hire.

Live-in, live-out and rotating schedules

Boca households run all three models. Live-in placements are standard for domestic couples and for house managers in the larger gated estates; live-out is typical for housekeepers and chefs within a short commute of the property; and rotating schedules — commonly two weeks on, one week off, or a November–May season with a summer rotation north — are built for principals who travel.

Each model changes compensation, housing and overtime structure, so we specify the schedule in the role description before candidates are approached. That single discipline removes most of the failed-offer risk that slows informal searches.

Confidentiality for high-profile households

A meaningful share of our Boca Raton searches are for principals who cannot be named. We run those searches blind: the household is described by profile and standards, never by identity, until a vetted finalist signs a non-disclosure agreement. Candidate dossiers are shared through expiring private links, and our own team is bound by confidentiality agreements.

The same discipline protects candidates. References are contacted only with permission, current employers are never approached without written consent, and personal information is handled on a need-to-know basis.
