Elevating high performing residences and the people behind them.
Maison Standard builds the standards, systems, and teams that let private households, and the advisors who support them, run with clarity, consistency, and the right people in the right roles.
Why Maison Standard
A well-run home shouldn't hang by a thread.
Private households carry more than what's inside their four walls. They hold a family's lifestyle, heirlooms, ways of living, and the small details of what's liked and what isn't. When all of it lives in one person's mind, the whole system is at risk the moment that person becomes unavailable.
Maison Standard exists to help private residences and estates be managed more cohesively.
We’re not another recruitment agency. We help households find and keep the right staff, help professionals grow and get recognized for their skill, and ground both in current labor policy. The result is a private service industry that runs on clarity instead of guesswork.
Our Services
Policy and Standards
Maison Standard defines the roles, benchmarks, and shared language private service has lacked for decades, checked against the labor laws and worker protections that already exist creating a more transparent common ground.
Standards: a common language and defined benchmarks for private service roles, Housekeeper, House Manager, Estate Manager, Child Care, Personal Assistant, Executive Assistant, and more, allowing for both sides to have clear expectations.
Policy: every role standard reviewed against existing labor law and worker protections (the Domestic Worker Bill of Rights, FLSA, and applicable state/local wage requirements), so benchmarks hold up to what households and professionals are legally entitled to.
This keeps hiring compliant for employers, and gives professionals a credential that holds its value on its own, proof of skill and experience that doesn't depend on whether a former employer chose to write them a letter of recommendation.
For Employers
Maison Standard gives Principals the clarity to keep great staff and the tools to find new ones. Your household staff should be your best ally, but expectations shift over time, communication cracks, and things start to feel unaligned, often without anyone naming why.
For your current staff: a continuous support system for the team you already have. When the novelty fades and defaults kick in, we help you maintain healthy communication and boundaries, with a quarterly check-in guide and support navigating the friction that quietly strains long-term relationships.
For hiring: tools to find the right fit, communicate expectations clearly, and expand your search beyond your own network.
We stay your go-to place as your family evolves: refining roles, mediating friction before it turns into resentment, keeping both sides trained and current, and supporting you as your staffing needs grow or shrink.
For Employees
Maison Standard gives professionals the training to grow in their role and the path to find their next one. Private service comes with a job description, but rarely with a clear sense of what success on that job description actually looks like, so skill goes unrecognized and expectations stay undefined long after they should have been clarified.
Training and Certification: a continuous path to growth, not a one-time course. We cover the technical skills and protocols each role demands, alongside the human skills, communication, boundaries, emotional regulation, that the job requires but rarely teaches, and certify your experience into a credential households can actually recognize.
Placement: support finding roles that match your skill, not just your availability, whether that's your first placement or your next one as your experience grows.
We stay your go-to place as your career evolves: keeping your certification current, helping you move into roles that reflect your growth, and supporting you when it's time for what's next.

Why Maison StandardPrivate service doesn't need another gatekeeper, it needs a shared standard.
We're not the only people who understand private service, there are professionals and households who've navigated this world for centuries. What's missing isn't experience, it's a shared standard connecting what households expect, what professionals provide, and what the law actually requires. Maison Standard exists to build that connection, informed by current labor policy and the realities of how private service actually works today.
House-facing roles
Whether you’re looking for full time positions or on-demand services, learn about what you should expect from each of these roles.
These roles are responsible for the property itself, its upkeep, its systems, and the environment the household lives in. The work is judged by the state of the space: is it maintained, organized, and running the way the household expects. Skill here shows up in consistency and attention to detail, not just task completion.
