Services for High-Net-Worth Families
International agency Very Important Personnel provides comprehensive services for high-net-worth families, property owners, private clients, residence managers and family offices.
We help build and manage a family’s private infrastructure by recruiting household staff, nannies, governesses, private chefs and chauffeurs, training existing teams, conducting independent staff performance audits and arranging lifestyle support for families with exacting standards of service, trust and confidentiality.
Every request is handled individually. We consider the family’s lifestyle, countries of residence, property portfolio, existing team structure, required level of privacy, professional experience, language skills, references, work schedules and the personal qualities expected of each employee.
Comprehensive Support for Private Families
Services for high-net-worth families require not only organisational expertise but also a deep understanding of private household service. Staff work closely with the family’s children, homes, wardrobes, vehicles, kitchens, schedules, guests, property and personal information.
Very Important Personnel can assist with both individual placements and complex requirements: building a complete team for a villa or residence, recruiting childcare professionals, finding a private chef or family chauffeur, training existing staff, conducting an independent service audit or arranging lifestyle support through our integrated ecosystem with Catamaran Family Office.
Key Service Areas
Household Staff Recruitment
The agency recruits housekeepers, maids, VIP wardrobe specialists, head housekeepers, estate and residence managers, butlers, residential engineers and housemen.
These professionals are responsible for order and cleanliness, wardrobe care and organisation, the technical condition of the property, coordination with contractors and overall comfort within the home. Discretion, attention to detail, respect for hierarchy, careful handling of property and the ability to work unobtrusively are particularly important in these roles.
We recruit domestic staff for property owners, private clients, residence managers and family offices. The search considers the property type, occupancy schedule, duties, existing team, required experience, language skills, references, personal qualities and expected level of privacy.
Childcare Staff
We recruit nannies, maternity nurses, nanny-governesses, governesses, governors, tutors and native-language childcare professionals for children of different ages.
Each search is tailored to the child’s daily routine, personality and age, as well as the family’s educational goals, preferred language of communication, parenting approach, schedule and expectations regarding the candidate’s personal qualities. Reliability, emotional stability, attentiveness, professional boundaries and a high level of trust are essential for professionals working with children.
Private Chefs and Kitchen Staff
The agency recruits private chefs, family chefs, international cuisine specialists and wellness chefs for families, private offices, villas, yachts, residences and private events.
We consider the family’s culinary preferences, dietary requirements, children’s menus, allergies, wellness programmes, preferred cuisines, guest service, the configuration of the household kitchen and confidentiality requirements. An excellent private chef must not only prepare exceptional food but also work discreetly within the family’s private environment.
Chauffeurs
We recruit personal, family, school-run and English-speaking chauffeurs for private clients, executives, families, expatriates, residences and private offices.
A chauffeur is responsible for safety, punctuality, comfort, route planning, transporting children, airport transfers, vehicle logistics, personal errands and confidentiality. During the selection process, we assess driving experience, driving style, knowledge of Dubai and the UAE, references, communication style, presentation, punctuality and willingness to follow household protocols and professional hierarchy.
Family Lifestyle Support
Lifestyle support provides comprehensive assistance to families, asset owners and business owners with lifestyle management, private infrastructure and premium services.
This service is delivered through Catamaran Family Office, part of the same integrated ecosystem as Very Important Personnel. We coordinate support relating to art, collecting, auctions and art advisory, as well as yacht management, business aviation and exclusive vehicles.
Support may also cover education, security, international mobility, cross-border arrangements and the coordination of specialised advisers. This approach allows families to entrust complex personal and organisational matters to a reliable professional team.
Engagement Options
We recruit staff and arrange services around the family’s actual lifestyle and schedule. Available options include part-time and full-time placements, live-in arrangements, rotational schedules, seasonal support, temporary team reinforcement, work across multiple residences and travel with the family.
The appropriate format depends on the number of properties, family composition, occupancy schedule, number of children, guests and events, existing staff and the desired service standard.
Service Locations
The agency handles assignments in the UAE, the United Kingdom, Europe, the United States, Asia, the Middle East and other international destinations.
For cross-border assignments, we consider language requirements, documentation, UAE residency and visa requirements where applicable, candidates’ experience in multicultural environments, willingness to relocate, references from private households and the practical requirements of families living across multiple jurisdictions.
Confidentiality and Trust
Working with high-net-worth families requires absolute discretion. Household staff and external professionals gain access to the family’s private environment, children, wardrobes, routes, schedules, guests, property, residences and confidential information.
Confidentiality is therefore an essential part of our work. We handle all information concerning the client, properties, family composition, employment terms, existing team and household protocols with the utmost care.
How We Work
Confidential Consultation
We discuss the client’s requirement: what staff or service is needed, where the property is located, who lives in the home, which processes are already in place, what difficulties exist and what result is expected.
Request Analysis
We clarify the property format, family composition, occupancy schedule, duties, requirements for experience, languages, references, service level, confidentiality and the personal qualities of the specialists.
Solution Design
Depending on the task, we may recommend staff recruitment, training for the existing team, employee performance audit, on-site training, online learning or lifestyle support.
Recruitment, Training or Audit
The agency conducts candidate search and selection, prepares a shortlist and interviews, trains staff, performs service diagnostics or coordinates specialised experts within the agreed service.
