About Esther M B.

No matter what our station is in life; we all have the same needs and desires – life, love and the pursuit of happiness. What makes us different and sets us apart from one another is how we identify what defines those three things, how we determine we’ve obtained them, and the resources we have to fulfill those needs. I specialize in assisting those who have a bit more resources than some and, therefore, a few more requirements than many in their pursuit. My diverse and well-rounded experience in the field of domestic service and hospitality enables me to anticipate and identify Principals, my European training and more than 25 years of experience support me in fulfilling them. I am a trained chef, personal assistant, and project manager able to undertake everything from special events, renovation, design projects and travel while still adeptly managing everyday household, grounds maintenance and staff supervision. I am also deeply committed to ensuring client privacy and confidentiality.
