As a former educator and mother, Jayne knows that each family has its own story and specific requirements. She seeks candidates she herself would have hired or referred to her friends and family. Requirements for domestic applicants are stringent, screening is thorough, and each applicant meets with Jayne personally. 

Our process includes virtual and in-person interviews, checking three recent references (which have to be excellent), a five-step background check, and more.

Although her client list is confidential, Jayne reveals that three of her first jobs were to find: party staff for the late Frank Sinatra; an upstairs maid for the late Miss (Anne) Bancroft; and an Italian-speaking, baseball-playing manny for the family of a major movie star. “And that was just the beginning.” she notes.

Jayne’s almost forty years of recruiting, screening, and staffing experience have ensured successful placements for the most discerning homes, both locally and globally.
