“We worked with Nanny & Butler to recruit a senior Private PA. The process was swift, tailored, and confidential. Every profile they proposed was of the highest calibre, and we found an excellent PA who is now working full-time and hopefully will remain with us for the years to come. She has extensive experience in similar roles and a natural leadership that allows her to manage the team of PAs who were already assisting the household.”
