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.

AND JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU HAVE ALL THE PIECES YOU CAN FIT THE LAST PIECE IN.
COMING TOGETHER IS A BEGINNING. KEEPING TOGETHER IS PROGRESS. WORKING TOGETHER IS SUCCESS.
I just started working for Greenhouse Agency, observing how the office works and learning the ropes. After only a short while, I realize that matching the right candidate to a client is like fitting together pieces in a big jigsaw puzzle. There are a lot of specific variables that have to combine together in order for client and candidate to be happy alike. It is the placement specialist’s job to find the best people to work together, so that each party will be happy going forward.
Right now I am working towards joining the Greenhouse Agency team as a counselor who will help with fitting the various puzzle pieces together.
GOOD MORNING! WORD FOR THE DAY PEACE
Hello,
I am a Louisiana native, looking to transition into the New York area permanently. I have a Bachelor of Science and a Juris Doctor. I have previous experience working for judges and attorneys. My particular areas of interest include contract drating and negotiating, business/corporate matters, human resources, and estate planning. I would like to know if you think I would have a hard time breaking into the New York market, either as an estate/house manager or executive/personal assistant. Any additional advice or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards!

Dear Jesse,
I know we haven’t always seen eye to eye, but you have taught me a lot about working here at Greenhouse. I follow a lot of your advice, and it has helped me very much. I hope that you have a wonderful career as a doctor and are able to help children to stay healthy, as you helped them to get the best nannies.
I’ll miss what you bring to the office. Please keep in touch.

Dear Everyone,
Tomorrow marks my final day working at Greenhouse. I learned many valuable idiosyncrasies working within the business of domestic placing and recruitment and will walk away with all of the knowledge passed on to me from Glenn, Julia and Denise. I am very appreciative of the opportunity I was given along with the bestowed confidence to succeed in a field which I had no prior experience.
I met so many interesting people, employers and employees alike, and hopefully will retain some semblance of my relationships with all of them (at least in my memory). Special shout outs to Ewa K., Lauren S., Sarah S., Claudine D., Abby, Nancy B., Miriam C., Lenora K., Tracy E., Maka M., Joseph & Eva, Patricia R., and Maria C. to name only a few. Thank you all! So many people are wound up in their own lives, but all of you took the time and made the effort to be cordial, respectful and amicable. Please don’t change!
I hope, to the people I helped, that I somehow bettered their lives; and to the people I was unable to aid in their job search, that they haven’t lost hope. And me, I am off to continue my education at City College in pursuit of becoming a doctor. It’s a long road ahead for all of us no matter how fleeting it may seem at times.
Much love and admiration,
Jesse
