A boutique agency for private households

Tailored Staff is a boutique domestic staff agency based in London. We find, interview and place the people who make private households run well — housekeepers, nannies, private chefs, personal assistants, estate and property managers. Every search is handled personally, and one appointment at a time.

Our clients are private families, principals and family offices in London and across the United Kingdom who want domestic staff they can rely on for years rather than weeks. We also work with candidates at every stage of a domestic career, from a first housekeeping role through to long-serving household management positions, and we treat their details with the same discretion we offer our families.

The agency was founded in London in 2023 by Kate, who spent more than a decade working alongside ultra-high-net-worth principals, first as an executive assistant to two of them. Those years of running private properties, assets and teams taught her how much turns on getting an appointment right, and how much of that rests on the detail a CV alone will never show.

So we work from understanding rather than lists: the household and its routines, the role as it will actually be lived day to day, and the person whose temperament will suit it. That is slower than sending a shortlist of names, and it is the reason families come back to us.
