Our Butler Agency Can Recruit Worldwide
Our clients come to us because they demand the very best female butlers and we have an extensive network across the US, UK, Dubai and other parts of the world which means we have access to the highest quality, most experienced staff.
The advantage of this is that our agency can move fast and quickly recruit butlers tailored to your needs.
Employing a female butler can transform how your household operates. It’s particularly valuable for families who want traditional service standards mixed with a modern approach.
This growing demand has driven Morgan & Mallet’s expansion from a single London office in 2015 to a global network spanning Europe, the Middle East, and North America by 2024. Every year since 2015 M&M have opened a new regional office or training center.
Trust Built on Personal ExperienceÂ
Morgan Richez, co-founder, served as a butler and personal assistant to ultra-wealthy households. He understands the weight of working for million-dollar properties.Â
Also a co-founder, Laurine Mallet worked as a nanny for high-net-worth families in London and Paris. She knows firsthand what it feels like when a family trusts you with their children, their privacy, and their household life. Her journey from nanny to agency founder gives her unique insight into what makes female household staff exceptional.
Together, they’ve witnessed how female butlers bring their own distinctive strengths to luxury service.
This knowledge comes from practical experience, not theory. This hands-on understanding of how female butlers excel in different households is in every placement we make and taught to every new employee of M&M.
At Morgan & Mallet (M&M), we can proudly boast:
- 98% placement success rate – nearly every female butler we place becomes a long-term household cornerstone.
- 9% of our butlers placed in the last 12 months were female butlers.Â
- 54.1% of our butlers are located in the US, UK, France & Monaco.
DISCLAIMER
If your requirement is quite unique, we may struggle to find your female butler, even with a database of over 200,000 profiles.
When this happens, we’ll communicate directly that more time will be required. For specific needs – such as butlers with high-level kitchen skills, or unique silverware experience – the process may take longer.Â
Our 98% placement rate stems from taking time to secure the proper match, rather than rushing to fill roles.
This honest approach is why families have trusted us since 2015. We knew from the start that honesty leads to better long-term partnerships.
Why Hire a Female Butler?
For centuries, butlers were almost always men, especially in the West. That’s changing quickly, especially as new wealth emerges in places like the UAE. This shift was significant enough that we opened our Dubai office in 2023.
New markets often have different preferences than traditional Western environments. In the UK, female butlers represent just 4.85% of butler profiles. In the UAE, that figure jumps to 13.74%.
Take Mariane, for example. She’s been a butler since 2018 across some seriously impressive locations – the French Riviera, Dubai, and most recently Manhattan.
Other company data shows 76-84% of our female butlers have experience in multi-staffed apartments or households, coordinating between teams while managing family schedules and vendors.
“The role has evolved beyond what people expect,” she says. “Modern families want someone who gets the bigger picture, not just the wine service.”
What Makes Female Butlers Different
Female butlers bring the same core competencies as their male colleagues: exceptional organizational skills, attention to detail, and absolute professionalism.
In female-led households, we often see a preference for female butlers – it’s simply a matter of comfort and household dynamics.
The choice has nothing to do with superiority. It’s about matching the right personality and skill set to your household’s specific requirements.
Think of it this way:
- Some households thrive with the traditional formality of a male butler.
- Others prefer the specific approach a female butler might bring.
- Many don’t mind about gender – they just want excellence.Â

When you call M&M, we can explore the role further, and quite often we find needs that may not have been considered before.Â
What Does a Female Butler Do?
The role is broader than most people realize. Yes, just like male butlers, they manage household staff and organize daily operations.
Like male butlers, modern female butlers are part event planner, part financial manager, part family coordinator. For example, they may plan formal dinners for 50 people, then help plan a child’s birthday party the next week.
The wine cellar remains important, but so does understanding dietary restrictions, supplement regimens, and coordinating with personal trainers.
Security awareness is increasingly critical. Modern butlers (female and male) understand privacy protocols and discrete service delivery.
In summary female and male butlers often perform identical roles. The choice comes down to what feels right for your family, your culture, and your region.
Can M&M Find a Female Butler for Your Location?
Morgan & Mallet’s HR assistant Eric Rios has noticed a clear shift in how families approach household staffing.
Take Dubai, for instance. Eric regularly receives calls from families asking if Morgan & Mallet can source staff for their Middle Eastern properties in Riyadh, in Abu Dhabi, and even Bahrain.Â
The answer is always yes. Just recently, the team connected a French-trained chef with a client’s Qatar compound.
Also, with M&M, if you are travelling from your residence in Miami to Monaco for the summer and would like a female butler when you arrive, just let your recruiter know and we’ll sort it.Â

How We Find Your Perfect Match

We spend time learning about your household. For this interview we ask on average 30 detailed questions, often uncovering necessities often overlooked. For example, one household manager completely overlooked that the butler would need experience accommodating dietary allergies.Â

Do female butlers exist?
Yes, female butlers are increasingly common in today’s household staffing industry. While historically a male-dominated profession, women now make up approximately 40% of butler placements at top agencies.
Modern families value skill and professionalism over tradition. Female butlers bring the same expertise in household management, event planning, and personal service as their male counterparts.
At M&M, we place female butlers with families who appreciate their attention to detail and discretion. Many clients specifically request female butlers, particularly for households with children or when cultural preferences make it more appropriate.
What is a female butler called?
A female butler is simply called a butler. The professional title doesn’t change based on gender – just as we now use “actor” for both men and women in theater.
Some households may use informal terms like “house manager” or “estate manager” to describe the role. But professionally, “butler” is the correct and respected title for anyone performing these duties.
Using the proper title shows respect for the professional’s training and expertise. At M&M, all our butlers – male or female – have earned this title through years of experience and dedication to service.
What do you call a female valet?
A female valet is called a valet. Like “butler,” this professional title applies regardless of gender. The role focuses on personal service, wardrobe management, and travel coordination.
Some clients prefer the term “lady’s maid” when the valet serves exclusively female family members. This traditional title specifically describes personal service to women of the household.
The choice of title often depends on the household’s preferences and the specific duties involved. Both valets and lady’s maids provide intimate personal service requiring trust, discretion, and attention to detail.
How to Find Female Butler Jobs
Female butler positions are available in luxury homes around the world, from Miami waterfront properties to London estates. Women represent 9% of M&M’s total butler placements.
In Miami, 87% of M&M butler placements involve managing both indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces. In London, 90% of M&M placements follow traditional household service standards.
M&M maintains a 96% placement success rate for butler candidates, with 11.37% of our butler applicants pursuing full-time roles. We match female butlers with families who appreciate their professional approach and attention to detail.

What is a female maid called?
A female maid is called a maid or housekeeper, depending on her responsibilities. “Maid” typically refers to staff handling cleaning and basic household tasks.
“Housekeeper” describes a more senior role managing household operations and possibly supervising other staff. Executive housekeepers in large estates hold positions comparable to hotel management.
The specific title matters less than clearly defining the role’s responsibilities. At M&M, we help families determine the right position and title based on their household needs and the professional’s experience level.
Can a girl be a butler?
Girls can be butlers but due to M&M’s strict requirement to have prior experience in the profession, all our female butlers will be women, not girls.
Professional requirements remain the same regardless of gender: formal training, excellent communication skills, and experience in luxury service. Female butlers often excel in areas like household technology management and staff coordination.
The key is matching the right professional to each household’s needs. We’ve successfully placed female butlers in roles ranging from estate management to traveling positions with international families.
