Family staffing done right
Life is feverish. In between jobs, friendships, to-do lists, family upkeep, children and feeding ourselves (and the children), we lose a bit of sanity as we attempt to manage more than we're physically capable to, day in and day out. As adults with busy schedules, it's easy to fill our proverbial plate having a few too many duties. But while doing too much might be constitutional, it definitely isn't healthy; according to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, recent studies reveal that the long term effects of pressure can be as serious as heart disease, asthma, diabetes and obesity.- Housekeeper
The good news is there are easy ways to ease the everyday stresses of a contemporary lifestyle; the solution to your chaotic lifestyle is as easy -- or hard--as relinquishing control. You can quickly prioritize those other tasks and start removing anxiety -- once you reassign one task--say, cooking dinner, or lining up a babysitter. Jamie Danielle, CEO and creator of J Danielle & Company National Staffing, has perfected the answer to your anxiety-alleviating prayers.
Danielle and her team can provide you with the seasoned professionals needed to properly perform some of these pesky, time-consuming tasks that have a tendency to empty your time in the home. With eight different types of national staffing alternatives offered through their services, including executive housekeepers, nannies (or mannies), chefs, personal assistants, estate managers, butlers, domestic couples, and drivers, the alternative to each one of your national difficulties is simple. Finding the top quality of domestic workers isn't any simple job, as Nicholas Ash, a third-generation Edwardian butler affiliated with J Danielle & Co, attests: "It Is just like a desert," says Ash, "the individuals who actually possess the abilities, and experience, almost are impossible to discover." Danielle sifts through crowds of average national staffers in search of those that possess the required abilities to function at an elite level; these are not your typical workers, but well-skilled and highly-seasoned pros.
With the affluent customer base who are accustomed to receiving the very best in service, Danielle's staffing decisions are definitive of the success of her business. The hiring process is as complex as the souffles her chefs cook right up in the kitchen; several interviews follow multiple screening processes before a candidate is even considered for hire. And the main qualification: experience. "Most candidates will have at least three to five years of previous full-time experience working in their respective areas," Danielle says. And it's not only a matter of having some sort of prior experience, but a maturity in that specific area. "Often times, as an example, a chef that has worked in a commercial kitchen would not be suited to work in a private home, because the environment and conditions are very different. We optimally hire candidates who've had prior estate expertise." It's also significant these employees have the right manner; there is a fine line between helping and intruding, and J Danielle & Co. is responsible for locating staffers who understand the delicacy of the private home environment.
The story of Danielle is an intimate one, full of unrelenting steadfast dream and aspiration -pursuing that allowed her to become the successful entrepreneur she is now. Growing up in Portland, Oregon, Danielle 's first love was with the arts. After studying theatre in the University of Colorado, she ventured to try her hand at acting. She worked full time as a hostess at the Beverly Hills Hotel to earn her keep; it was that Danielle found her fire. "While working at the resort as a hostess, I discovered a fascination with the amazing dishes that were being prepared," Danielle says of her eye-opening moment. Following a year in L.A., she knew she wanted a rest and tried a vacation in San Diego, where she decided to stay and started to focus entirely on her cooking skills and technique. After getting a co-hosting job on celebrated local celebrity chef Larry Banares' weekly Internet radio cooking show, Danielle eventually felt like she had the experience to pursue a career in the kitchen. Soon after, she was hired as a full time private chef to get a leading family in Rancho Santa Fe, where she was eventually inspired to begin J Danielle & Co.
Today, J Danielle & Co. is celebrated as one of the finest national staffing firms in the region. Although her path was long, varied and, yes, nerve-racking, there is no uncertainty that Danielle has found her calling. Through the incredible team at J Danielle & Co., that stressful to-do list you've been worrying about can easily transition from "to-do" to "done." - Housekeeper
