Not Sure What Role You Need?
Private households often know they need support before they know the correct title. A search may begin as a housekeeper, manager, assistant, domestic couple, or property support need, but the right role depends on the household’s residences, staff structure, schedule, service standards, and family office involvement.
Deb’s Domestic Agency can help clarify whether the need is a single placement, a leadership role, or part of a broader estate staffing structure before the search begins.

Who We Work With Deb’s Domestic Agency works with private households, estate managers, family offices, and principals managing one or multiple residences. Our searches are designed for environments where discretion, continuity, and operational consistency are essential. We are most often engaged during periods of transition, growth, or when existing household structures require refinement or stabilization. Our role is to support the long-term function of the household by placing professionals who align not only with the responsibilities of the role, but with the standards and expectations of the home.
When a search involves multiple residences, household leadership, vendor coordination, or family office communication, clients may also review our Household and Luxury Estate Staffing services and our article on estate staffing versus traditional domestic staffing.
Before beginning a complex search, clients may also find our guidance on operational continuity across multiple residences and long-term household staffing placement success useful for clarifying role scope, reporting structure, and retention expectations.
