Education, certifications, and a great personality are all important parts to consider when hiring household staff, but there is one factor that stands above the rest when it is time to hire: experience. Today’s post will highlight how seasoned professionals bring reliability, discretion, and operational excellence to the homes of high-profile families.

Why Choose Experience?

Experience brings professionalism, but also an intimate understanding of the luxury lifestyle. Experienced Housekeepers, Private Chefs, Nannies, and other professional staff know how to execute their duties not only properly, but with precision aligned with the needs of their Principal. 

Experience also allows households to benefit from staff who offer specialized skill sets, such as a country-specific cooking method or use of the latest cleaning technologies.

How Experience Brings Reliability

Hiring inexperienced household staff can mean that some tasks go uncompleted at the end of the day. It can also result in tasks being performed incorrectly. Both of these represent unacceptable circumstances in households that require a high degree of reliability.

Principals who must always be concerned that tasks will not be completed as required are homeowners who are unable to focus on the things that are most important to them. When experienced staff are present, there is never a need for concern, as they know the job will be done properly and with the utmost attention to detail.

How Experience Ensures Discretion

The ability to maintain discretion with every interaction in or outside of a home is the hallmark of  seasoned household staff. Experience working in luxury or celebrity households has underscored the importance of maintaining security through discretion. As well, employees are well-versed in the most effective ways to ensure that privacy is protected.

When placed in particular areas of the home, the right staff can make a significant difference. For example, a House Manager can be ideal to oversee overall home security, including property cameras and liaisoning with the security team to ensure that only approved visitors can enter.

A seasoned Nanny understands how to protect children from prying eyes and maintain discretion while moving about in public. Experienced Chauffeurs, who provide secure and private transportation, also maintain discretion as a part of their job description.

How Experience Results in Operational Excellence

When Principals hire experienced staff, they are hiring professionals who ensure operational excellence. Experts like Groundskeepers know how to create planting and maintenance schedules that are easy for other staff to understand and execute.

The same is true of Butlers and Head Housekeepers, who ensure that all required cleaning, maintenance, and other upkeep is not only done on time, but to the Principal’s requirements. Experienced staff like these understand that working in this way ensures the Principal can enjoy their home for as long as possible, and that the home preserves its value.
