In today’s high-net-worth landscape, family offices have evolved far beyond their original role of managing wealth. Now, they coordinate multiple residences, philanthropic ventures, luxury assets, global travel, and deeply personal household needs. While the complexity and scale of these operations continue to grow, many family offices are still relying on outdated or ill-equipped methods of hiring.
That’s a major vulnerability—and a missed opportunity.
Whether you’re overseeing a generational legacy in Palm Beach, a multi-residence portfolio across New York and California, or a newly formed family office in Naples or Windermere, the need for strategic human capital support is non-negotiable. This is where a staffing partner becomes a true force multiplier.
At Lorraine Lee Estate Staffing, we don’t just fill roles—we build the domestic infrastructure that allows your private life to run with precision, privacy, and continuity.
Standard recruitment models don’t translate into the private service space. The cultural fit, emotional intelligence, loyalty, and discretion required in domestic roles—especially within family offices—demands far more than a quick hire.
Lorraine Lee Estate Staffing has developed a proprietary vetting process that ensures alignment with both the technical requirements and the household culture. Whether you’re seeking a live-in housekeeper with high standards for fine finishes, a Chief of Staff to streamline your family’s operations, or a seasoned private chef who understands dietary nuances—we recruit for lifestyle, not just skillset.
High-demand roles we specialize in:
Each placement is hand-selected and rigorously screened for longevity and discretion.
High turnover is expensive. For family offices, it’s also disruptive and potentially risky.
We don’t disappear after the placement. Lorraine Lee acts as an ongoing HR advisor, offering relationship management, periodic check-ins, and conflict resolution support. We understand that your household staff become extensions of your family’s values and privacy. That’s why our placements are built for longevity—with many staff remaining in roles for 5, 10, or even 15+ years.
In a world where privacy is power, Lorraine Lee operates with white-glove confidentiality. Every interaction with our clients and candidates is handled with the utmost discretion, supported by NDAs and secure communication protocols. You’ll never find our clients’ names on social media or public rosters.
This is especially critical for clients in high-visibility industries like entertainment, finance, and politics—where a breach of privacy can carry personal, financial, and reputational consequences.
As your holdings expand—new homes, new travel destinations, additional staff—our service scales with you. Whether you’re launching a family foundation, acquiring a vineyard in Napa, or transitioning to multigenerational living, we’re equipped to handle increased complexity without sacrificing continuity.
We work seamlessly across:
No matter the location or lifestyle, we maintain a consistent standard of excellence.
We’ve seen it time and again—family offices hire through corporate recruiters or online job boards, only to face:
These are not just staffing issues—they’re business continuity risks.
With Lorraine Lee, you’re not gambling with your privacy or productivity. You’re investing in seamless, secure, strategic staffing.
A family in Naples came to us after losing their estate manager and experiencing three failed replacements through a traditional agency. Within four weeks, we placed a Director of Residence with luxury resort management experience, who immediately implemented systems across their five properties. The role has since expanded to include travel coordination, vendor oversight, and security liaison services. The family has now added a second household and retained Lorraine Lee for ongoing staffing and HR advisory support.
“We built Lorraine Lee to serve families who don’t want transactional staffing—they want legacy-minded, strategic support that understands the lifestyle they’re protecting. We don’t fill jobs. We build infrastructure.”
