Hiring Household Staff in Dallas

A market defined by arrival: new wealth, new homes, and households built from the ground up.

Dallas is one of the fastest-changing staffing markets in the country, and the reason is migration. Major financial firms have moved or expanded here in force, drawn by Texas's tax climate and cost of living, to the point that the region has earned the nickname "Y'all Street." Goldman Sachs is building what will become its second-largest office in the United States in Dallas, a campus designed for more than 5,000 people. Where senior finance and corporate leadership relocate, households follow.

That gives the Dallas market its distinctive character. A great many of the families hiring here are establishing a household, often for the first time at this scale, in a city they have just moved to. They are buying large homes across the metroplex, in Highland Park and Preston Hollow, in the fast-growing northern suburbs around Plano and Frisco, and west into Fort Worth, and they need to staff them quickly and well, frequently without an existing local network to draw on. This is precisely where a recruit-to-brief approach matters: rather than working from whoever happens to be available locally, the search begins with what the family actually needs and goes to find the right person.

Demand centers on career nannies, household managers who can set up and run a new home, estate managers for larger properties, and private chefs. Families relocating from New York, California, or abroad often want professionals who can bring structure and experience to a household that is still taking shape, and who understand discretion in a community where many of the principals are publicly known in business.

We maintain a presence serving the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and Texas, and because we recruit to a specific brief and place professionals anywhere, we are well matched to a market where so many households are being built new. This is the care Nannies + more…® is built to provide.
