Founded on Experience. Built on Trust.
Sterling Household was founded by a childcare professional with more than 20 years of experience serving private, high-profile, and ultra-high-net-worth families around the world. After years of working inside private homes, it became clear that exceptional placements require far more than experience alone—they require discretion, emotional intelligence, adaptability, and a genuine understanding of the unique dynamics of private family life.
Inspired by that firsthand experience, Sterling Household was created to offer a more thoughtful and personalized approach to private staffing. Rather than simply filling positions, we take the time to understand each family's lifestyle, expectations, and long-term goals, carefully matching them with professionals who possess not only the qualifications for the role but also the character, professionalism, and judgment to become a trusted part of the household.
