Deb’s Domestic Agency is a boutique household staffing agency based in Austin, Texas, serving private clients, estates, and family offices nationwide. Founded in 2008 by Deborah Traylor, the agency was built on firsthand private-service experience, industry knowledge, and a commitment to making thoughtful, lasting placements.
Deborah Traylor’s background in private service gave her direct insight into the discretion, adaptability, standards, and trust required within successful household environments. That experience continues to shape the agency’s highly personalized approach to recruiting and placement today.
While the agency includes childcare and nanny placements, Deb’s Domestic Agency is primarily structured around full private household staffing for clients with complex homes, estates, and multi-residence needs.
At Deb’s Domestic Agency, we believe household staffing should never feel transactional. Every placement is personal. We take the time to understand the household, the role, the expectations, the reporting structure, and the personalities involved so we can identify candidates who are not only qualified, but genuinely aligned.
We provide boutique service with individualized attention, careful screening, selective candidate representation, and a long-term placement focus. Our work supports private households, estates, family offices, and private principals seeking trusted professionals for highly personalized environments.
From our Austin base, we serve clients across the United States and support select international searches. Deb’s Domestic Agency has earned its reputation through discretion, judgment, professionalism, and a deeply personal approach to staffing.
Our work often supports high-net-worth and UHNW households where discretion, continuity, and experienced private service leadership are essential.
