Household Managers – What are they and why do I need one?
Here at Placement Solutions we regularly receive questions from new clients asking exactly what duties their Household Manager is able to do There is often a confusion between cleaners and housekeepers so we thought we would explain using the DEMA definitions. DEMA is the acronym for the Domestic Estate Managers Association of which we are a proud member.
The way we are … what memories are made of
Recently I’ve been helping my friend archive her old family photos for safekeeping and it got me thinking about memories. Memories are so precious to most of us – I think you’d agree. Especially precious are memories and photos of loved ones lost, old friends, family, good times, travel destinations and of course the reminders we keep around the home - all the “stuff” that is meaningful to us. Apart from evoking (hopefully) pleasant memories, these pictures and tid bits also represent a good part of our history. They tell a story about who we are, who is (or was) important in our lives, our likes and dislikes and a plethora of other information. Sometimes, they are a talking point at dinner parties and the mere mention of a souvenir or photograph triggers a storytelling exchange between friends.
The Story of our Household Management Service
Placement Solutions today is probably best known as a nanny agency, but it wasn’t always that way. We actually started out providing a cleaning service, which eventually developed into the home management service that we offer today.
