COMMENTS, IDEAS & STORIES
The relationship between “employer” & “employee” is most unique in the Private Sector – Personal Service Industry. This is the rarest of situations, where an employee’s responsibilities require they be a part of their boss’s everyday private lives. This “connection” in most cases inevitably leads to the employee’s personal life being opened up to their employer. It’s virtually impossible for the traditional “boss/worker” relationship we see in the corporate/business world to be remotely similar in a residential/family setting.
Of course there is always a line drawn and boundaries set, as in all work environments. Never the less, the environment itself tends to create this “one of a kind” rapport.
Because of this exceptional link between “employer” & “employee,” we ask for Comments, Thoughts, Ideas, Suggestions, Experiences & Stories. Please take a moment to submit an item of interest, related to Household/Domestic Staff or previous work stories. The funnier…the better. The more informative…the more helpful for all.

Hi everyone! I’m new to this website, but not new to the domestic staffing world. I have been a private chef for a family for 25 years. In this business you definitely get to know your employer and vice versa. You will undoubtedly get to feel, and be told that you are like “one of the family”. Please, don’t ever cross that line! Lines can become blurred easily. Always remember that you are an employee. If you keep that in the back of your mind you will end up having a wonderful relationship with your employer. 🙂
I want to be a nanny/baby nurse. I’ve baby sat since i was 12, also worked in a daycare center. I love children especially new borns, infants and toodlers. I don’t have any nanny experience and i know i want to make this a career. How would I go by becoming an exceptional nanny and getting training.Thanks in advance.
I have had only the utmost positive experiences with the Green House Agency. My current position, along with my previous two were successfully found with the help of the amazing team at Green House. They took the time to get to know me, along with my skills and strengths, and in turn swiftly paired me with lovely families. The Green House Agency is passionate about making the right matches between employers and employees; ensuring that your tenure is fruitful and enduring. I would not have been able to progress as I have in my career had it not been for Green House. One employee in particular, Yulia Zolotova was especially supportive in my job search, her expeditious nature led to little down time between positions. I highly recommend the Green House Agency to anyone looking to find their next position – they truly care about you!
Leticia Urgeliz was amazing. She was helpful and very professional. I found my new job because of her.
I would recommend it to anyone. She is the best. Thank you Leticia ?

The Demand for the Live-In Housekeeper Gets HOTTER!!
Live-In Housekeepers are the hottest thing in NYC right now! We are seeing a huge uptick in the demand for live-in domestic workers, especially full-time Live-In Housekeepers. There are a lot of housekeepers that want and need to live-in and then there are those that are not so flexible. Most complain about having no social life or being taken advantage of. Like every job there is always a downside and an upside. Depending on the family you worked for, those complaints may never be an issue. Now, housekeepers that live-in find it beneficial for the simple fact they can save a lot of money. Think about it, you have no rent to pay and you still get paid! They also like the comfort. For some, they have their own apartment or have their own room and bathroom. Most times, these accommodations are really nice. Another plus is that they may get to travel with the family and see some amazing places. Oh! Let’s not forget about having the best commute possible!
Live-in housekeeping jobs differ in many ways. The salary ranges are varied from excellent to “they could do better”. Some families are wonderful and some are hard to deal with, but these are common factors in the domestic world. There is one thing certain right now in NYC, the over-all demand for a live-in housekeeper is here with a bang and it’s becoming more urgent every day. So, if you are flexible with living-in, can follow a cookbook, and posses excellent housekeeping skills, you are in high demand!! That should make you feel pretty darn good!!
I received a call from a individual(female) from your agency, on Monday, July 27, regarding an opportunity as a garden/houseman, in Bridgehampton, New York The person indicated they would send me an e-mail with their name so I could forward my resume to your agency. They then stated they would call me on Tuesday 7/28 to discuss the position and my work experience. Thank you for your efforts on my behalf. Respectfully, Edward J. Tobin 631-316-2726
