Thanks once again for your sagacious advice this afternoon. You’re a font of insight, knowledge, and guidance.
Clare’s diligent listening skills and laser-sharp judgement is hugely impressive. She has an uncanny skill to see below the surface, hear what you want and deliver exactly what you need, which isn’t necessarily what you thought you wanted! She is trustworthy, efficient and highly professional. Recommended.

I just wanted to say how pleased we are with Chris and Wendy. They are so nice and extremely capable and we love having them here.
We are going to make them permanent employees, assuming they too want to extend, at the end of August.
I hope you are having a good summer. The hugest of thanks for finding them
Hello Clare
Everything has been running very satisfactorily with Claudio.
Many thanks.
We are really loving Naomi and the work she is doing. She works on her own initiative and does everything to a high quality
She has also fitted in well with us at a personal level
Just a quick feedback: Jane kindly helped us yesterday and she is absolutely wonderful!
She did some cleaning, ironing and pancakes, and in addition emptied the dishwasher without having been asked to do so as I thought it might be tricky to find where things need to go. She found it all by herself!
Julie and Ross have been here a few days and are getting stuck in, happy to help outdoors and taking the lead on some jobs. Both seem nice people and I have all my fingers crossed it works out.
That’s lovely to hear, thank you Clare. We would really like to offer her the job I do hope she will accept it. Thank you so much Clare, and fingers crossed

Sxxxxxx has been and continues to be absolutely perfect for us – thank you so much again!!
First of all, thank you so much for finding Axxxxx for me. She is a gem and I feel so blessed that she has come my way – and this is thanks to you. As I said, I think she will make a big difference to me and I hope I will to her. She was a great hit with the home team here.
Hello Clare Many thanks – Sxxxxxx is AMAZING!!Thank you so much for all your hard work – our lives feel immeasurably improved already!
Thank you for your email – delighted to report an absolutely stonking first day from Sxxxxxx! We love her, Jxxxxx loves her and our stomachs love her! Epic work! Thank you so so much.
Oh Clare You really have made this whole process seamless & so easy. We were so daunted by the prospect of finding someone to slot into x and x lives & instantly make things easier but that really has been the case. We really appreciate the support you’ve provided, thank you.
Dearest Clare, You are a complete star! L called in this morning and she’s going to come regularly to help once a week. It will be so lovely to have someone here who we know and trust. Thank you, thank you.
Thanks so much. I am sure we will work together again in the future! Thanks for all your help!
As I would have expected from your recommendations, Tammy is fab.
Just wanted to check in to say a huge thank you for connecting us to Dxxx, he’s been amazing. Also, excited to finally meet Axxx tomorrow!
have read through these properly now and LOVE them. I think they are great with such useful and comprehensive advice in there for both sides. I really like the idea of the diary and the weekly 15 minute chats which we should definitely implement. I have printed them off.
What a brilliant CV and reference
I really enjoyed the whole process today I appreciate very much the personal and collaborative approach which is an extremely rare and, I believe, sought after commodity by those who value this type of working relationship. Thank you as well for explaining what takes place in the pre/during/post parts of an interview process. This will be very helpful and I am grateful for the support.I look forward very much to working with you.
Thanks Clare – I am seeing the principal today Will certainly put XX CV in front of her too. I’m currently not using another agency on this as I like your approach so much
Dear Clare, You have left an answerphone message for me to add to the detailed email reply to my original application. Again, thanks. It is a pity that more agencies don’t show the professionalism and commitment to responding to clients that you do.
Good luck with your business – filling a very big need.
Hi Clare! Long time! Hope you are well and doing good. My Boss’s Mother has asked on behalf of Friends of hers who have a house in Holland Park if I know of a decent Agent. They need a Couple to help them including cook, shop and driving. No idea of any other details about them or the job but I have said you are the best I know! Good luck! Take care.
I’ve been away a lot with work over the last few weeks and XXX has worked so well! She’s kept everyone organised – cooked for everyone, organised Lily’s Duke of Edinburgh expedition trip, and kept all the tradespeople out of the main house to name but a couple of things. She’ll turn her hand to anything without hesitation and we get on really well. Thank you so much for your help in finding someone so compatible with our family needs!
I hope xxx gets in touch, did xxx from xx ever get in touch? If not send them an email saying xxx has recommended domestic bliss recruitment agency for all their staffing needs
XX is terrific. We are happy to offer him the position of General handyman, gardener, driver. He is a charming man. Thank you Clare for finding us the right person at just the right time.
I shall certainly be in touch with you . You have been very helpful and xxx very much advised me to go to you so if any of my friends need to find help in the future I will give them your name and number.
I want to take the opportunity Clare, to say thank you for your professionalism and your attention to detail.
We have now ended the search for the Assistant Housekeeper, however I wanted to thank you for your professionalism and being so helpful throughout that period, in future I will recommend your agency to my colleagues if they need to reach out for help.
