A Home Kept to the Highest Standard
Housekeepers, house managers, and household couples — each selected for their professionalism, discretion, and commitment to excellence.
The Foundation of a Well-Run Home
A well-run private home does not happen by accident. It requires the right person — someone who takes genuine pride in their work, understands the standards expected, and brings the kind of quiet, capable professionalism that allows a household to function seamlessly.
Private Signature Care places housekeepers, house managers, and household couples for private residences of every scale — from city apartments to country estates and international second homes. Each candidate is personally interviewed and presented only when we are confident they are the right fit for the household and the family.
The Roles We Place
Housekeepers
Professional domestic care for private residences
A housekeeper takes responsibility for the day-to-day cleanliness, order, and smooth running of a private home. Our housekeepers are experienced professionals who understand the standards expected in a private household — working with discretion, initiative, and a genuine commitment to maintaining the home to the highest level.
Ideal for: Private residences of any scale where the owners require a dedicated, professional housekeeper who maintains the home to an exceptional standard — whether the family is in residence or not.
What they do
- Daily and deep cleaning of all rooms
- Laundry, ironing, and wardrobe care
- Silver, china, and specialist surface care
- Household supplies management and ordering
- Preparation for family arrivals and guests
- Liaison with other household staff
House Managers
Operational oversight for larger private households
A house manager takes overall responsibility for the operational running of a private home or estate — overseeing other staff, managing contractors and suppliers, and ensuring that every aspect of the household functions smoothly. They are the point of contact for the family on all domestic matters, and they bring a level of organisational capability and professional authority that is essential in larger or more complex households.
Ideal for: Larger private households, estates, or families with multiple properties who require a senior domestic professional to oversee the household operation and manage staff and contractors.
What they do
- Staff management and scheduling
- Contractor and supplier oversight
- Household budgeting and accounts
- Event and entertaining coordination
- Property maintenance management
- Travel and residence preparation
Household Couples
Combined domestic and estate management
A household couple brings together two complementary skill sets — typically a housekeeper and a house manager, butler, or groundsman — providing comprehensive domestic and estate management from a single, trusted partnership. Household couples are particularly well suited to country houses, estates, and second homes where continuity, reliability, and a broad range of skills are essential.
Ideal for: Country houses, estates, and second homes where a reliable, self-sufficient couple can manage the full range of domestic and estate responsibilities — particularly valuable when the owners are absent for extended periods.
What they do
- Combined housekeeping and household management
- Estate and grounds oversight
- Caretaking during owner absences
- Guest and entertaining support
- Vehicle and property maintenance
- Security and property monitoring
