It's common for celebrities to have assistants help with long dress trains, but having seven of them might be a record.

In the private service industry, high-quality household staff are sometimes "punished" for being great at their jobs. What can happen is that less capable employees are often relinquished of some duties, only to have those responsibilities given to more capable candidates. 

When high performers take on many new duties, this is called 'role creep' or 'job creep,' and it often happens without being given more money. This can lead to burnout. Learn more >>

It's more important than ever for job seekers to understand the "game" of recruiting. 

At both the 2024 and 2025 Golden Globe Awards, assistants were honored for their contributions and hard work. In 2026, however, the personal assistants who keep the show running weren't mentioned. 

In 2024, actress Ayo Edebiri won a Golden Globe and thanks all of the assistants in the industry. In 2025, the tradition continued when Oscar winning actress Kathy Bates thanks her PA.

VIP families who hire private staff for their households are sometimes in need of etiquette training. The domestic staffing team at The Celebrity Personal Assistant Network would like to provide some options for you to consider.

In the "olden days," household staff were trained in etiquette and manners. Nowadays, households aren't so formal, especially in the United States, but that doesn't mean the private service staff shouldn't behaving too loosely in the home. 

Many high-net-worth families hire personal assistants, housekeepers, nannies, and house managers to help manage their lives, but sometimes those household staff members are a little "rough around the edges" when it comes to manners because they don't come from affluent households themselves. 

First things first: There is a lack of affordable and convenient options for etiquette training for household staff, especially in the United States. 

It's been about ten years since the TV show Downton Abbey went off the air. Believe it or not, at the height of the show's fame, there were two different butler schools (i.e. House Manager Schools) that did etiquette training for private staff in the USA, but they are now closed. 

The good news is that we offer etiquette classes for private household staff, so if you employ personal assistants, house managers, nannies, or housekeepers who need to polish up on their manners, we can help. We offer both online and in-person options. Feel free to contact us to discuss your needs. 

Let's talk about the elephant in the room. Recruiter's fees are higher than they need to be because they don't charge money upfront. In short, employers that hire headhunters ultimately pay more because they are also incurring the costs from the other clients who didn't pay. LEARN MORE >>
