San Francisco Bay Area Domestic Staffing Agency
The Greater San Francisco area is fast becoming a market for career personal assistants and estate managers, as Southern California has been for decades. One elite personal assistant agency has recently stepped-up to accommodate the growing needs of the ultra-rich; and that’s The Celebrity Personal Assistant Network, which places Personal Assistants, Estate Managers, and Executive Assistants in the Bay Area and Silicon Valley: San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Clara, Palo Alto, San Mateo, Napa, and Berkeley. Cities as far south as Santa Cruz and Monterey are not excluded.
The San Francisco personal assistant market has been simmering for years, but with the explosion of wealth in the Silicon Valley, the needs of the rich and famous in Northern California are almost insatiable. The founder of our personal assistant agency, Brian Daniel, recognized the growing need for personal assistants in the Silicon Valley because this new Internet Generation of tech wizards is traveling with private jets and purchasing mega-mansions. Our staffing agency already covers other major U.S. markets as well.
“It takes a very special kind of person to handle the lifestyles of the upper-echelon,” says Brian Daniel. “There has to be a perfect blend of administration skills, as well as that of a personal concierge.” Southern California certainly has their fair share of celebrity personal assistants, but the Greater San Francisco Bay Area has a shortage of seasoned professionals that are able to keep up with the ever-changing demands of the super-wealthy. And Mr. Daniel should know what it takes because he has worked with Hollywood A-list, millionaires, billionaires, and even royalty – all over the world!
“There is no shortage of candidates who want to do the job, but wanting it is not enough. To be a personal assistant to a CEO, celebrity, high-net-worth family, sports figure, book author, famous entrepreneur or star lawyer, one has to be able to work long hours and work under tremendous pressure. Not everyone is able or willing to make those kinds of sacrifices,” says Brian.

What makes our San Francisco personal assistant agency so unique?

What makes personal assistant agency so special is that Brian Daniel takes extraordinary care in thoroughly qualifying the candidates. It’s not enough to have worked with a wealthy or famous family before because that just gets you the interview. The standards at our recruitment firm are unmatched by the typical employment agency because most of those types of operations are simply too high-volume and primarily commission driven.
Additionally, most employment agencies are staffed with college interns and temporary employees, none of which have actually done the job of a celebrity personal assistant, so properly “qualifying” candidates is very difficult at best.
The staffing agency in San Francisco is a boutique operation that spends an inordinate amount of time interviewing candidates so that a perfect match can be made with potential employers. Moreover, our headhunters specialize in personal assistants and estate managers only. Other employment agencies are mostly “jack of all trades” and try to be all things to all people, which says a lot about that kind of operation. “In my opinion,” says Brian, “it is impossible to have the type of quality control I have if you place personal assistants, estate managers, gardeners, private chefs, maids, nannies, and security personnel. It isn’t possible to have a personal relationship with your staff, candidates and clients if you have thousands of people in a database.”
The Celebrity Personal Assistant Network currently represents personal assistants that have worked with Paul Newman, Cindy Crawford, Al Pacino, Denise Richards, Britney Spears, Jay Z, Damon Wayans, and Ashton Kutcher to name just a few. It goes without saying that The Network’s current client list is confidential. “This business is all about secrecy,” says Brian. “It’s not only for the benefit of my clients and personal assistants, but also for my business. The other employment agencies are desperate to find out who I’m working with, and that data is as protected."
