Managing Domestic Staff During the Summer: How to Prepare Effectively

For many families, summer means temporary relocations, guests, travel, and new daily rhythms. Whether it’s a villa in a holiday destination or a period spent on a private yacht, managing domestic staff during the summer requires careful planning, targeted selection, and strong adaptability.

Allure Domestic Staff supports families in seasonal planning with a tailored approach, selecting well-trained, flexible personnel experienced in working in high-profile environments, even during summer months.

Why Summer Staffing Is Different

In summer, spaces, routines, and priorities shift. Household dynamics often become more fluid and less structured, but no less demanding.

Key needs for UHNW families during the summer include:

• Staff able to work in temporary residences or onboard yachts

• Greater scheduling and organizational flexibility

• Support in managing guests and private events

• The ability to operate discreetly, even in more “open” environments such as holiday homes

To ensure continuity and quality during the summer, early planning is essential.

How to Prepare: 4 Steps to Summer Planning

1. Define the context and timeframe
   Duration of the stay, location, any travel (land/sea), presence of guests

2. Select suitable profiles
   Not only based on skills, but on compatibility with the new environment

3. Organize logistics
   Shifts, staff accommodations, task schedules

4. Consider a trial or onboarding period
