CAIT DAVIS
Household Manager, Washington DC area/Virginia.

With nearly 15 years of household management experience, I bring an organized skill set with an attention to detail. Along with hiring, training, and organizing households I have also worked closely with contractors, architects, and interior designers with construction and remodeling of several properties. For each household or property I like to create a “Bible” of vendors and contractors and making sure that yearly those are up to date and most cost effective. I really thrive in environments that are ever changing and like to offer an outside perspective of what will work best for the principals and their staff and put those operating procedures in place. I like nothing more than to offer a “turn key” life for whomever I work for.

Ann, Elder Care Giver

I am a dedicated, discreet, energetic and loyal employee, who has been in private service since 2001. I have the ability to anticipate the things needed and to be prepared for most any eventuality. I am capable of initiative beyond my outlined job description and seek to be engaged in productive work at all times. My references will attest to the fact that I am equally honest and hard working. I have managed offices, supervised staff, prepared inventories, set schedules for seasonal maintenance, maintained expenditures, overseen vendor work, planned menus and events. No task is too mundane – dry cleaning, shopping, floral arrangements, vehicle maintenance, pet care. I have arranged moves, both packing and unpacking.

As a graduate of the Culinary Inst. of America my chef skills range to all types of cuisine and am particularly adept at adjusting for dietary restrictions or allergies. I enjoy not just making food that tastes good, but looks appealing as well.

I have cared for clients in declining health, assisted with medications and exercise, doctor visits and helped in the compliance of their instruction. Cleanliness and organization are of prime concern, at all times.

My demeanor is quiet, but will communicate well. I work efficiently, to create as little disturbance as possible. I have traveled the world and am sensitive to a variety of cultures. I look forward to being a valuable addition to the smooth running of a household.

I offer a strong management skill set, a desire of excellence in service and high character. I am looking for a long-term position that will allow me to offer my energetic, creative and positive can do attitude.  I am a young 39-year-old man with nothing to prevent dedication to my career.

I have an ability to encourage staff to work hard, efficiently and happily and understand staff budget control and can adjust accordingly. I have an eye for estate details that is beneficial to landscaping and or household fixtures. I have a thought process of cutting costly and or adjusting and seeking new cost saving functions, systems, staff, utilities, supplies and venders.

Because I have great leadership skills, an adept mind for budget control and show a crisp clean look, I find myself in management or supervisory rolls with every employer past & present. I also carried a personal assistant roll while I served in the military for my company commander.

I have managed staff on an up close basis of 22, but as an entire staff of 60. I have learned my profession from the ground up, so I can step in and offer training through hands on situations or verbal as required. I have experience managing staff, budgets, purchasing, utilities/supplies and inventory for multimillion-dollar corporations and along with my experience with multimillion-dollar estates I feel I can combine the two experiences and be a candidate worth consideration.

Thank you

Craig, Estate Manager

With over 18 years experience within the domestic household management field I bring to the job a diversified background of knowledge. Along with hiring, training and maintaining households, I have been in charge of hiring and overseeing contractors involved with construction and remodeling the properties. Some of the things I have enjoyed over the years have been helping in the planning of all aspects for weddings, birthdays and special corporate events. Because of the diversified area that I would be involved in I consolidated my record keeping according to the special project or event.

Prior to my career in the private sector I had extensive training in the Hotel and Restaurant field. From this background I feel that I bring good commitment skills and the ability to work with others.

I am able at this time to accept a new position.

We have supervised contractors specifically; landscapers, interior & exterior painters, audio/visual and electronic companies, security and ensured that repairs and installations were expedited in a timely manner. Maintained accurate accounts for cash, credit and checking on a monthly basis.

I have made certain that all motor vehicles were well maintained, clean and serviced at the appropriate times eg. Mercedes, BMW, Aston Martin, Range Rover and Acura MDX and had the correct paper work in place and functioning Fastrack transponders.

We can both serve at informal and formal table service.
