Washington, DC Staffing Agency
The Calendar Group is a national private household staffing and executive support staffing agency with deep experience placing professionals in Washington, DC. Since 2002, we have matched discerning families, executives, diplomats, and political leaders with household and office staff who bring discretion, professionalism, and proven expertise to every role.
Washington, DC is unlike any other city in the country. The intersection of government, diplomacy, and private wealth creates staffing needs that require a specialized approach. Whether you manage a Georgetown townhome, a multi-property estate in McLean, or a fast-paced office on K Street, our team understands the expectations that come with life in the capital region.
Why Washington, DC Families and Executives Choose The Calendar Group
Washington is home to senior government officials, ambassadors, nonprofit leaders, lobbyists, and private-sector executives who require household and office staff comfortable operating in high-profile, high-security environments. Our candidates are accustomed to working alongside security details, managing schedules around congressional sessions, and coordinating logistics for families who split time between Washington and other residences.
We are not a local DC staffing firm. The Calendar Group is a national staffing resource that serves high-net-worth individuals and families across the United States, with particular depth in Washington, DC; New York; Connecticut; Florida; and California. That national reach means we draw from a broader, more qualified candidate pool than any regional agency can offer.

This has been my first experience working with The Calendar Group but I will definitely keep them in mind in the future, down the road, when I look for my next role. If anyone is wondering, I would definitely recommend this company, and I can 100% recommend working with Jennifer in particular.
The Calendar Group has been around for quite some time and with all the new agencies popping up I can see where it might get over looked which is a huge mistake! They have the experience needed to match talent based on the candidates whole person not just the resume. Def worth exploring their job board and reaching out even if it’s not quite what you are looking for, like me you might get pleasantly surprised.
As the job has limited hours, I reached out once more to Flavia and the Calendar group once more to help fill those lost hrs, and they were great again in finding me another amazing family I’m happy with. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a position or for someone to fill a position. Ms. Vitra
