Etiquette training for private household staff

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.

Why is etiquette a problem for private staff in modern households?

Picture
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. 

There is a lack of training schools for household staff

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. 

Does your agency offer etiquette training for household staff?

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.
