Success Stories

Far too many to mention, and confidentiality precludes us from mentioning names, but here are a few general quotes from recent projects:

‘’Our Governess/PA worked with us for nearly 10 years and became a part of the Family’’ (Client in Russia / London)
‘’SPS immediately understand our expectations, and quickly found us the perfect nanny – that was 3 years ago, and she’s still here’’ (Client in Germany)
‘’I have employed approximately 10 staff from SPS over many years, and trust them implicitly to understand my requirements and source people for even the most complex of roles’’ (Client in Russia/EU)
‘’We have hired 3 different nannies from SPS over an 11 year period, all outstanding, definitely recommend’’ (Family in Bermuda)
‘’We have used SPS as our main agency for a number of years now for butlers, nannies and more. (Heather understands our needs well and is available out of hours’’ (Middle East based Family Office)

We Build Lasting Relationships Between Candidates & Businesses

We have worked with hundreds of clients over the 20 years or so we have been focused on sourcing and providing the very best household staff, childcare and educators, but the best ones are the ones we work with repeatedly. We have a number of clients we have partnered with for more than 8 years now, and some with whom we have worked for 15+ years. Those relationships all started with the first request, and built from there. We prefer to take the longer term view, get a full understanding of your styles, attitudes and specific requirements so that we become a true recruitment partner, than to work on one placement, take the fee, and move on.

TestimonialsGlyn and his team provide a next level service to both candidate and client. Glyn is a true professional with a wealth of experience in creating a seamless match. Highly recommend!

We have used Simply Private Staff as our main recruitment agency for some time now, liaising directly with Heather who has placed many successful candidates within our family, including Butlers, Nannies and even Yoga Instructor. Heather is easy to talk with, always quick to respond, even outside normal working hours. Great communication and good follow up once a candidate has been placed with us.

Caroline has been very friendly as my consultant at the agency. Communication can sometimes be difficult and slow with some agencies but Caroline always keeps you updated and is in frequent contact.

It is without hesitation that I recommend "Simply private staff." Upon starting work, it was quickly apparent that we needed extra help with our two young children. After a brief but overwhelming query of the primary babysitter/caregiver website, I reached out to the "Simply Private staff" for assistance, and I could not be happier with my decision. The team made the process of finding a nanny seamless and easy.
