From Career Nanny to Family Assistant, House Manager or Estate Manager: Creating a Career Path in Private Service
Career Progression Is Possible
A nanny may develop experience in household organization, calendars, vendor coordination, inventory, travel preparation, administrative work and project management.
A Possible Path
Career Nanny to Nanny/Family Assistant to Family Assistant to House Manager to Estate Manager is one possible progression, but it is not automatic.
Estate Management Requires Advanced Skills
Managing staff, vendors, budgets, multiple properties and complex projects requires sophisticated operational and leadership abilities.
Families Can Help Great Employees Grow
Mentoring, training, stretch assignments and increasing responsibility can help a capable employee build the skills required for the next level.
Growth Should Be Intentional
As responsibilities increase, title and compensation should be revisited. Professional advancement is different from simply piling more work onto the same job.
