Best Domestic Staffing Company in San Diego: J Danielle & Co.

Life is hectic. In between jobs, friendships, to–do lists, household upkeep, children and feeding ourselves (and the children), we lose a bit of sanity as we attempt to manage more than we are physically able to, day in and day out. As adults with busy schedules, it’s easy to fill our proverbial plate with a few too many responsibilities. But while doing too much may be inherent, it certainly isn’t healthy; according to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, recent studies show that the long–term effects of stress can be as serious as heart disease, asthma, diabetes and obesity.

The good news is there are easy ways to relieve the everyday stresses of a modern lifestyle; the solution to a chaotic lifestyle is as easy—or as difficult—as relinquishing control. Once you reassign one task—say, cooking dinner, or lining up a babysitter—you can easily prioritize those other tasks and start eliminating stress. Jamie Danielle, CEO and founder of J Danielle & Company Domestic Staffing, has perfected the answer to your stress–relieving prayers.

Danielle and her team can provide you with the experienced professionals needed to properly execute any of those pesky, time–consuming tasks that tend to drain your time at home. With eight different types of domestic staffing options offered through their services, including executive housekeepers, nannies (or mannies), chefs, personal assistants, estate managers, butlers, domestic couples, and drivers, the solution to every one of your domestic problems is easy. Finding the best caliber of domestic employees is no easy task, as Nicholas Ash, a third–generation Edwardian butler affiliated with J Danielle & Co, attests: "It’s like a desert," says Ash, "the people who actually have the skills, and experience, almost are impossible to find." Danielle tirelessly sifts through crowds of average domestic staffers in search of those who have the necessary skills to operate at an elite level; these aren’t your average employees, but well–trained and highly–experienced experts.

With an affluent customer base who are used to receiving the best in service, Danielle’s staffing decisions are definitive of the success of her business. The hiring process is as complex as the soufflés her chefs cook up in the kitchen; multiple screening processes are followed by several interviews before a candidate is even considered for hire. And the most important qualification: experience. "Most candidates will have at least three to five years of previous full–time experience working in their respective fields," Danielle says. And it’s not just a matter of having some kind of prior experience, but a maturity in that specific field. "Often times, for example, a chef who has worked in a commercial kitchen would not be suited to work in a private home, because the environment and circumstances are very different. We optimally hire candidates who’ve had prior estate experience." It’s also important that these employees have the appropriate demeanor; there is a fine line between helping and intruding, and J Danielle & Co. is responsible for finding staffers who understand the delicacy of the private home environment.

The story of Danielle is a romantic one, full of unrelenting ambition and steadfast dream–chasing that allowed her to become the successful entrepreneur she is today. Growing up in Portland, Oregon, Danielle’s first love was with the arts. After studying theatre at the University of Colorado, she ventured to Hollywood to try her hand at acting. To earn her keep, she worked full time at the Beverly Hills Hotel as a hostess; it was at that time that Danielle found her passion. "While working at the hotel as a hostess, I found an interest in the amazing dishes that were being prepared," Danielle says of her eye–opening moment. After a year in L.A., she knew she needed a break and tried a vacation in San Diego, where she decided to stay and began to focus wholly on her cooking skills and technique. After landing a co–hosting job on renowned local celebrity chef Larry Banares’ weekly Internet radio cooking show, Danielle finally felt like she had the experience to pursue a career in the kitchen. Soon after, she was hired as a full–time private chef for a prominent family in Rancho Santa Fe, where she was eventually inspired to start J Danielle & Co.

Today, J Danielle & Co. is renowned as one of the finest domestic staffing companies in the region. Although her path was long, varied and, yes, stressful, there is no doubt that Danielle has found her calling. Through the amazing team at J Danielle & Co., that stressful to–do list you’ve been worrying about can easily transition from "to–do" to "done."
