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.

Greenhouse agency is the first employment agency I had ever been to, and was greeted with such courteous warmth and professional level.
Denise and Tiffany you all are doing an excellent.job.
Yes, Charlotte. I’ve found that many of my clients, after doing trials with younger applicants looking for ENERGY, ended up turning to more seasoned housekeepers/nannies.
Listen to Denise. She is wise!
Tiffany, This is so helpful for the candidates in search of a job. Just hope they take a moment to read it.
Great advise.

I agree with Denise.. I have had staff on the younger side, and they really don’t have the energy the older staff does.
We right away think because the housekeeper/nanny is younger, the energy will come with it. Well……that is not
always the case. What is missing is the care and experience from being older, along with the HIGH ENERGY! Do not
say no until you have tried it. Judging a group by it’s age you are missing out on many good workers! Give it a try.
I am speaking from experience. Good Luck in your search
What are your feelings?
I have been working for Greenhouse for 17 yrs. I have seen the industry go through many changes, but at the end of the day we search for that perfect applicant for our clients needs.
Many of our clients tend to believe that the younger applicants will have more energy and
work harder and faster. They don’t realize there are many seasoned domestics who have more
knowledge, dedication and stamina. They have higher standards and better work ethics. What have your experiences been?
If any applicants still looking for jobs haven’t heard from their counselors, please, find the business card which was given to you and call us! Understand that we sometimes can speak to over 100 people per day! It never hurts to remind us with even a quick email. If you’re seriously looking for work let us know!! (212) 889 – 7505!
That’s a brilliant answer to an interesting quesotin
Denise is kind of awesome.
