    Help on a whole new level

    • If you can make it here...

      HomeFront Lifestyle Staffing is based in New York City, one of the best and toughest places to live. We should know: we grew up here and now we’re raising our family here. Our deep knowledge of the NYC and Hamptons lifestyle has made us the go-to resource for families looking for help that just "gets it." From navigating school events and play dates in the city to managing a property in Montauk, we've got you covered.

    • We hear you.

      Whether you are working parents seeking a city-savvy nanny, a family looking to tailor meals to dietary restrictions or food made to your taste, or an entrepreneur in search of a read-my-mind assistant, we can find the right match for you. No request is too specific. Tell us what you need. We are listening.

    • We love what we do. You’ll be able to tell.

      We've always felt it important to approach our business with a human touch, warmth and sometimes...a sense of humor. Over the years, we’ve cultivated the truly important skills needed to solve problems for our clients: listening, needs assessment, respect, creative problem solving, and responsiveness. You'll like working with us.

    • Never a pile of resumes.

      HomeFront Lifestyle Staffing wants to make your life easy from the moment we engage. We never send a pile of resumes for you to comb through. Instead, you will receive a selection of appropriate, pre-screened candidates that fit your needs. Your only difficulty may be making a choice and we can help with that, too.

  • Services

    HomeFront provides premium staffing services tailored to the needs of our discerning clientele, including full vetting of candidates, insistence upon and confirmation of candidates' legal work status and considerable effort to match candidates' skills, backgrounds, and personalities with the needs of the client.

    Our focus on credentials and chemistry results in a process that saves our clients valuable time...and gives them peace of mind. We want you to feel like your life at home is in order every day when you go out into the world.

    If you have a need you don't see here, give us a call. We're resourceful.

I refer a lot of types of people to them because they understand different lifestyles and they're respectful of different styles of parenting."
      — Francesca, NYC mom and HomeFront repeat client
       

      We know how difficult the transition back to work can be for a new parent and how important it is to make the right match for school-aged children with their changing needs.

    • "They seem to have an inner knowledge of what works. They're my go-to staffing partner for the most discerning of clients. They really understand the needs of the quality, higher-end homes."
      — Lori, Household Staffing Specialist for Investment Banks
       

      Over the years, we have become deeply knowledgeable about what makes a great Executive Housekeeper, an exemplary and dedicated personal assistant...and we pass that knowledge onto you by helping you ask the right questions. Do you need someone with experience handling fine art and antiques; someone comfortable with in-home systems such as Lustron and Creston? Do you want someone with formal hospitality training or an informal, roll-up-your-sleeves style? Do you need someone to organize you or motivate you?

      Having household staff can be a luxury or an absolute necessity, either way it's not always comfortable handing over the personal details of your family’s life to others. At HomeFront Lifestyle Staffing we operate with the utmost discretion and professionalism.
