Upper East Side, Tribeca, the Hamptons in summer. New York households run at pace — staff need to keep up. The city attracts some of the most experienced private household professionals anywhere.
New York City's private households operate at a level of complexity matched by few other cities. From Park Avenue penthouses to Hamptons summer estates, families require staff who can navigate formal entertaining, school runs in Midtown traffic, and the logistical demands of multi-property households.
Irving Scott works with families across Manhattan, Brooklyn Heights, Greenwich, and the Hamptons to place butlers, private chefs, nannies, housekeepers, and personal assistants.
Many positions involve travel between New York and other residences in London, Aspen, or Palm Beach. We've placed butlers and housekeepers for principals on the Upper East Side and in Tribeca. Summer placements in the Hamptons often convert to year-round roles if the match is right.
