Memorial Day to Labor Day — that is when the Hamptons come alive. Households that run on skeleton staff all winter suddenly need full teams. We start recruiting for summer in February.
The Hamptons' private estates require a particular kind of household professional — someone who can manage the transition from a skeleton winter crew to a full summer operation with private chefs, additional housekeepers, pool staff, and childcare.
Irving Scott places seasonal and year-round staff across the Hamptons' most exclusive enclaves. Summer positions typically run Memorial Day to Labor Day, with many families retaining core staff year-round. Live-in accommodation is standard, and salaries reflect the seasonal intensity.
Many of our Hamptons placements also work with the same families at their Manhattan, Palm Beach, or Aspen residences. We've placed seasonal chef teams and house managers for families in East Hampton and Southampton.
The best summer staff book out by March.
