At The Calendar Group, we understand that impeccable service and personalized attention are essential to a well-managed home or estate. For clients seeking discreet, highly trained support that blends tradition with modern efficiency, we make it easy to hire a Butler or Personal Valet who can meet your every need. Whether you manage a large property, travel frequently, or maintain a busy social calendar, this dual role provides unmatched support in both personal and household matters.
Why Hire a Butler & Personal Valet?
Hiring a Butler and Personal Valet means bringing refined service and executive-level organization into your home. A butler ensures the smooth operation of the household by managing formal service, overseeing staff, coordinating events, and maintaining the residence to the highest standard.
A personal valet, on the other hand, focuses on your individual needs, including wardrobe management, personal grooming preparation, travel packing and unpacking, and assistance with day-to-day routines.
When combined, these roles deliver a level of attention and professionalism that is rarely found in modern domestic staffing. Whether you require help managing formal dinners, arranging travel, or organizing your wardrobe, the butler and valet work together to anticipate your needs and handle each task with grace and efficiency.
What Does a Butler and Personal Valet Do?
A butler manages the formal operations of your home. Their responsibilities include overseeing household staff, coordinating events and formal dinners, greeting guests, maintaining the residence to the highest standards, and managing vendors and service schedules. In large estates, a butler often works alongside an executive housekeeper and estate manager to keep everything running smoothly.
A personal valet focuses on your individual needs. This includes wardrobe management, personal grooming preparation, travel packing and unpacking, and assistance with your daily routines. Together, these roles provide a level of personal attention that allows you to focus on what matters most, knowing every detail is handled with discretion and care.
For families who value privacy, protocol, and order, hiring a butler and personal valet through a trusted domestic staffing agency offers a rare combination of tradition, trust, and thoughtful service.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hiring a Butler
How much does it cost to hire a butler?
Butler salaries vary based on experience, location, and the scope of responsibilities. In major U.S. markets such as New York, Los Angeles, and Miami, a full-time butler typically earns between $75,000 and $150,000 per year. Butlers managing large estates or multiple properties may command higher compensation. The Calendar Group works with each client to find candidates who match both their service expectations and budget.
What is the difference between a butler and a personal valet?
A butler oversees the formal operations of a household, including managing staff, coordinating events, greeting guests, and maintaining the residence. A personal valet focuses on the individual needs of the employer, such as wardrobe care, grooming preparation, and travel logistics. Many households benefit from a professional who combines both roles.
Do I need a butler for a smaller household?
You do not need a large estate to benefit from butler or valet services. Many clients hire these professionals for apartments, penthouses, or single-family homes where they want a higher level of daily organization and personal attention.
How does The Calendar Group screen butler candidates?
Our placement process includes in-depth interviews, thorough reference checks, background verification, and on-site consultations with your household. Every placement is backed by our six-month replacement guarantee.
Can a butler also manage other household staff?
Yes. A butler often serves as the lead member of a household team, overseeing roles such as executive housekeepers, chauffeurs, and family assistants.

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
