Ashworth Household places nannies, housekeepers, private chefs and estate managers into London's most discerning homes — each candidate personally interviewed, referenced, and checked before you ever meet them.
You tell us what the role requires. We do the searching, checking, and shortlisting — you meet only candidates we'd place in our own homes.
A short call or form: household size, working hours, languages, temperament, start date. We use this to search, not a template job ad.
DBS/background checks, right-to-work, every reference called personally, and an in-person interview before anyone reaches your shortlist.
Contracts, trial period, and a placement guarantee — if it's not right within 90 days, we find a replacement at no extra fee.
Daily household cooking, dinner parties, or dietary-specific meal planning — live-in or by the week.
