“I didn’t realize how much I needed help until Deb’s Domestic Agency placed an Executive Personal Assistant in my life. She not only manages my personal and business affairs seamlessly but has also helped me with things I never imagined, like improving my online dating profile. I can honestly say that she has changed my life for the better. Thank you, Deb, for such a perfect match!”
T. Miller
“We absolutely LOVE the Executive Housekeeper that Deb’s Domestic Agency placed with us. She has been a perfect fit for our family and home. Deb’s process of getting to know us and finding someone who truly fits our needs made all the difference. We highly recommend Deb’s Domestic Agency!”
The Wilkins Family
“Managing multiple estates is no easy task, but Deb’s Domestic Agency has been an incredible resource over the last five years. We’ve fully staffed two of our estates in the U.S. with top-tier professionals, including a lead housekeeper, executive housekeepers, a property manager, and landscapers. Deborah’s dedication and commitment to finding the right people have made my job easier and ensured the estates run smoothly. I can’t thank her enough!”
H. Dennis - Estate Manager
“As Chief of Staff for a high-profile client, I needed to staff their new estate even before construction was completed. Deb’s Domestic Agency not only found a full-time property manager who managed the final stages of construction but also helped with additional household placements. The manager has since become the family’s on-site household manager, and the staff Deb has placed has been exceptional. Her agency is a trusted resource that we’ll continue to use.”
Mike Bishop
“As a couple with demanding careers, we needed someone who could do more than just keep our home in order. Deb’s Domestic Agency found us a Housekeeper/House Manager who not only keeps our home immaculate but also cooks for us and babysits our children when our nanny is unavailable. Deb’s ability to find someone who could balance all these responsibilities has been invaluable to us. We’re grateful for her excellent service.”
The Li Family
“Deb’s Domestic Agency truly found the perfect companion for me. My caregiver not only helps with my daily needs but also shares my interests and hobbies, making her a wonderful travel partner. Thanks to Ester, I was able to visit my family in Italy with my companion by my side, which gave me a new sense of freedom. My only regret is not finding Deb’s Domestic Agency sooner.”

Complex Household Resources

For private principals, estate managers, Chiefs of Staff, and family office teams, household staffing decisions often involve more than filling one position.
