There’s housekeeping, and then there’s five-star housekeeping. Caring for a Hermès wardrobe, cleaning marble without damage, or preparing a property for unexpected guests arriving in six hours are just some of the tasks that a housekeeper for a luxury home would have to do.
Morgan our co-founder explains the challenge: “Many families think finding a housekeeper is easy. But to find a five-star housekeeper, someone who knows how to care for luxury furniture, how to manage a wardrobe properly, it’s not easy. There aren’t enough qualified candidates.”
This shortage drives demand and pushes salaries higher. Families need you more than ever.
We’ve been placing housekeepers for over 10 years. Our other co-founder Laurine started her career working for families in London, so she understands what makes a great placement from both sides. She knows the difference between a competent housekeeper and someone that’s exceptional.
When checking references, Laurine learned to ask questions that reveal character. “Housekeepers might eat together if the family is traveling, but not when they’re home, the property needs constant attention,” she notes. The best housekeepers understand priorities instinctively.
We look for professionals who take pride in their work. Who understand that caring for someone’s home is very special and that being invited in to do that is a privilege.
Morgan describes what families seek: “The most important thing is finding someone very professional, very discreet, and someone who knows the right products for each piece of furniture, for each floor type, for each fabric.”
Laurine has noticed in our housekeeper recruitment: “For roles like housekeeper or caregiver, networking is more personal and often involves strong community connections. The Filipino community in France, for example, is very supportive.”
Many housekeepers find their next positions through friends working for other families.
Someone you worked with five years ago might recommend you when their new employer needs additional staff.
Maintain good relationships with:
– Former employers (who can provide references and recommendations).
– Colleagues from previous households (who hear about openings first).
– Agency recruiters (who remember reliable, professional candidates).
– Vendors you work with (dry cleaners, repair services, suppliers).
We can see from our years of recruitment experience that your reputation travels through these networks. Families trust recommendations from household staff they already employ.
A good reputation follows you, as does a bad one.
Morgan & Mallet focuses exclusively on private household placements. We understand what makes these roles different from hotel housekeeping or commercial cleaning.
Laurine’s personal experience working for families in London gives us insight into what housekeepers need: fair pay, respectful treatment, clear communication, and families who appreciate skilled work.
Our clients understand that five-star housekeeping requires knowledge and skill. As Morgan notes: “Families prefer professional, discreet housekeepers who know all the right products, someone who knows the difference isn’t easy to find.”
These families invest in quality. They pay well because they understand what they’re getting.
It’s great to be an expert at something and it’s even better to be able to work for someone who truly values your expertise. That goes a long way towards job satisfaction.
From London to Los Angeles, Dubai to Monaco, Swiss chalets to Florida estates, we place housekeepers wherever wealth and luxury properties exist.
Morgan confirms: “We place staff everywhere in the world. Families find us through Google when they search for professional household staffing.”
Quick placements don’t serve anyone well. As Cara, one of our recruiters, learned: “Families often underestimate how long quality searches take. More planning and clarity upfront creates better long-term matches.”
We take time finding the right fit. Many of our housekeepers stay with families for 5, 10, even 15+ years because we matched properly from the start.
