Household Systems & Private Service
A well-run life, by design.
For 18 years I’ve run private homes and executive calendars around the San Francisco Bay Area. Now I write down how they run — so the people and systems behind your home work without you in the room.
What comes off your plate.
Everything here is work I’ve done for private families and the executives they work with — nothing on this list is hypothetical.
- The house
- Repairs, housekeeping, home technology and security — vendors vetted and managed, their insurance verified. One home or several.
- The calendar
- Business and family calendars kept in step across time zones, with travel arranged end to end.
- The family
- School calendars, the children’s activities, errands and gifts — the quiet logistics a household runs on.
- The big projects
- A kitchen renovation from start to finish. A cross-country move, sailboat included.
- The books
- Expenses tracked, a bookkeeper hired and managed, QuickBooks set up for business and personal.
- The people
- Assistants and household staff recruited, onboarded and overseen — so the house runs with or without you.
The method
In Good Order™ — the Household Operating System.
A design-grade way to document how a home or an executive life actually runs: home manuals, onboarding guides, vendor and pay systems, done-with-you hiring. Your next great hire inherits a manual, not a mystery.

Nothing announced.
That’s what a well-run house sounds like: quiet. Warm on the surface, with a steel spine of systems, standards, and discretion underneath.
A standard you adopt, not a commodity you hire by the hour.
Why it’s different
- Real numbers, out loud.
- What each kind of help actually costs is published here, before we ever talk — so you can plan with your eyes open.
- Honest from the first call.
- Sometimes the right answer is a system, not a hire. If you don’t need a full-time role, you’ll hear it from me first.
- Discretion is the whole job.
- Not a clause at the bottom of a contract. Every family I’ve worked for is listed simply as private. That is the point.
Let’s talk real numbers first.
Then we’ll find out whether you actually need this role — and what a well-run life would cost you. No pomp, no pressure.
